IEEE 2755.2-2020

This recommended practice describes implementation and management approaches and methods for enterprise implementation of Software Based Intelligent Process Automation (SBIPA) technologies (commonly known as IPA). The recommended practice includes the exploration of technology capabilities, development of strategy, product evaluation, platform implementation, along with management and governance for service providers and end users.

This recommended practice provides guidance for implementation and management of SBIPA capabilities. Best practices are needed in this emerging and rapidly growing technology domain to advance industry capabilities in the implementation and management of SBIPA technologies.

New IEEE Standard - Active. Provided in this recommended practice is a comprehensive methodology for technology domain exploration, development of strategy, technology evaluation, implementation, management, operations, program optimization, and successful enterprise scaling for IPA programs while utilizing terminology as established in IEEE Std 2755™-2017 and technology taxonomy as established in IEEE Std 2755.1™-2019. This recommended practice is a compilation of best practices from industry leaders on the proven methods from the initial discovery and exploration of the transformative capabilities of IPA technology through to developing and running an enterprise-wide program.
