Current Big 4 SC with 3 YOE in data security and privacy consulting, CISSP. Microsoft ppl - I would love to become an azure security solution architect at MS. What chances do I have now? If I don’t, what are some practical steps I can take to position myself well (e.g., AZ104, AZ500, etc.)?

None preferably. RPA is just duct tape that helps firms cling to the past rather than embrace true systems modernization. Go Digital or go home.
Ac1 the RPA market is expanding rapidly and besides the negativity from others there is a real need. I always love the band-aid comments because it's pretty common. The reality is, if companies had the resources to upgrade and integrate every legacy system they would have. Yet here we are two decades later and finance is still using spreadsheets to track financials (among other terrible processes). RPA is real, it's not going anyway, and it's only going to get better. I look forward to the day when I can make a bot to automate some of your jobs away so I don't have to hear so much whining.
You should relax. Also it is a verb...
verb: architect; 3rd person present: architects; past tense: architected; past participle: architected; gerund or present participle: architecting
1.
design and make.
"few software packages were architected with Ethernet access in mind"
P1. Your living in some fantasy land. Your correct,. Building out integrations and bringing legacy apps into the modern world is better. Too bad that's not reality. There is a reason why RPA exists today. I choose UI Path. Blue prism architecture sucks.
RPA exists because there's always money in becoming part of the problem. It sustains bad business practices, and favors short-sighted strategies; it's a mediocre solution implemented at the behest of mediocre leadership. I view RPA as an approach that is fundamentally at odds with Protiviti's mission to 'get to excellence', because we shouldn't be in the business of helping clients kick the can down the road. We should be pushing our clients to solutions for their *real problems*.
UiPath all day!
I agree that RPA has significant shortcomings. RPA is a bandaid on the knuckle of someone with hemophilia.
That said, it's easier to reapply the bandaid frequently than to cure hemophilia.
RPA rarely, if ever results in meaningful improvements to the architecture of the systems it interacts with. And architect isn't a verb.
Sustainable progress in reducing manual work on a legacy platform is achieved by opening up the legacy platform with APIs that promote programmatic automation and open data exchange. May involve middleware, may not.
Yea but the real solution involves implementing Epic/Cerner and integratin with a claims clearinghouse. And I suspect not all shops have the chops for such a thing
AA, all the way
Rearchitect legacy systems to embrace modern practices? Heresy! People don't even want to apply windows updates....
They both suck because they kill jobs, Trumpf should ban these shits all together
Is getting involved with RPA a good career decision?
