In automation, such as RPA, so-called orphaned automations often occur: automated processes without an owner or maintenance, on which people rely or depend. This leads to inefficiencies, unexpected errors, and unnecessary costs.

These 'orphan automations' arise, for example, due to personnel changes or outdated processes that are not adjusted. They pose a risk to continuity, compliance, and innovation.

 Three concrete dangers of orphaned automations:

 1. Process failure: Automations that are not well maintained can fail unexpectedly, causing critical business processes to come to a standstill.  
2. Security risks: Outdated scripts may contain vulnerabilities that lead to data breaches or unauthorized access.  
3. Compliance issues: Outdated processes may not comply with current laws and regulations, which can result in fines or reputational damage.

The solution? Intelligent orchestration. Through central monitoring, automatic checks, clear ownership, and lifecycle management, you prevent automations from becoming lost or outdated. This way, you maintain control over your automation landscape and continuously optimize your processes.
