One of the top tools being implemented is RPA, which helps businesses to see value quickly and to realize actual transformation in the way their organizations operate.
53% of respondents have already started their RPA journey.
This is expected to increase to 72% in the next two years.
The benefits of RPA adoption are significant. Payback was reported at less than 12 months, with an average 20% of full-time equivalent (FTE) capacity provided by robots. RPA continues to meet and exceed expectations across multiple dimensions including:
• improved compliance •
• improved quality / accuracy •
• improved productivity •
• cost reduction •
RPA implementation kickstarts a successful digital transformation campaign by replacing manual processes, improving productivity, and growing technology usage among employees. It also allows businesses to achieve ROI quickly
