1 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW
The Technical Solutions Document (TDD) is created for every business process that is automated using the RPA
technology. The TDD document needs to be reviewed and updated for every change requested and applied to
the automation process. This document will provide a technical snapshot of the solution and must always reflect
the latest design and key features of the automated workflow.
The purpose of the document is to record the outcome specific to the automated master project and its
subcomponents: projects, workflows, sequences etc.
2 AUTOMATED MASTER PROJECT OVERVIEW
Details filled in by the developer reflect the actual information for the master project released for production.
# Item Details
(Fill in with free text. If not applicable, mark the field as
“n/a. No empty fields.)
1 Master project name and
version
2 Robot type
(specify if the process was
automated for FOR or BOR or
mix)
3 Is Orchestrator used? (Yes/ No)
4 Scalable? (Yes/ No)
(can the process be run by
multiple robots in parallel)

3.2 Technical Solution Architecture
Below, insert a screenshot of the solution architecture or accessible file path to the Technical solution.
3.3 Technical Description of SDD
In this section, copy+paste the high level process steps outlined in the SDD, and provide a brief comment about
how that solution step is accommodated from a technical point of view. If the SDD flow was provided in bullet
form, you do not need to insert the steps individually into the table – just move down a line, indent, and provide
a technical note about how it was completed
