About

Virpi Hotti is a leading researcher in the field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), with a specific focus on the governance, maintenance, and large-scale deployment of software robots. Her work addresses the critical challenges that arise when organizations scale their automation efforts, moving beyond simple task automation to managing complex, 24/7 operational environments. Hotti’s major contributions include proposing a "Center of Excellence" model to improve software robot maintenance in large-scale settings, a concept that has garnered significant attention (9 citations). She has also developed a business-driven data model for consistent monitoring of software robots, ensuring their health and performance in high-volume, continuous operations. Her research is pivotal for practitioners and organizations seeking to implement robust, scalable, and maintainable RPA systems. By tackling the often-overlooked aspects of post-deployment management and governance, Hotti provides essential frameworks that bridge the gap between initial automation success and long-term operational reliability.
