About

Dr. Michael Trampler is a leading researcher in the field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), with a particular focus on its strategic implementation in both the private and public sectors. His most cited work, "The Critical Success Factors for Robotic Process Automation" (2022, 61 citations), provides a foundational framework for organizations seeking to adopt RPA, identifying the key managerial, technical, and organizational elements required for successful automation initiatives. This paper has become a key reference for practitioners and academics alike, guiding the effective deployment of software bots. Dr. Trampler also developed "PEPA," a scoring model for prioritizing processes suitable for automation, offering a practical tool to help companies focus their RPA efforts where they yield the highest return. Pushing the boundaries of the field, he has explored the innovative concept of applying "digital twin" methodologies from manufacturing to the public sector, envisioning a future where government processes can be simulated and optimized before automation. Through this blend of critical analysis, practical tool-building, and forward-looking theory, Dr. Trampler is shaping how organizations strategically harness RPA for digital transformation.
