Description: The ‘Gated Process’ is an approach within robotic process automation (RPA) that involves the need to obtain approvals at multiple stages before a process can advance. This type of process is fundamental in environments where compliance and oversight are essential, such as in finance, healthcare, and project management. The ‘gates’ act as checkpoints that ensure each phase of the process is reviewed and validated by the appropriate stakeholders. This not only helps maintain the quality and accuracy of outcomes but also minimizes the risk of errors and fraud. Implementing gate processes allows organizations to establish more structured and efficient workflows, where each step is documented and audited. Additionally, it facilitates collaboration between different departments, as each can have its own set of approval criteria. In summary, gate processes are a key tool for improving governance and transparency in the automation of repetitive and critical tasks, ensuring that required standards are met before proceeding to the next phase.
