Top 5 Reasons Automation Programs Are Failing to Deliver the Expected Business Benefits ...and How to Avoid them
The impact of automation on business operations is undeniable. It’s changing the way business gets done and it’s not just hype – it’s crucial for success. The projected growth for RPA software and services in the global market is estimated to reach $1.2 billion by 2021. Organizations that ignore incorporating an automation strategy will risk rendering themselves obsolete against competitors.
“Automation is quickly becoming one of the key levers to drive operational and digital transformation. The rate of adoption of RPA exceeds any other enterprise technology that has come about in the last decade” believes Anupam Govil, Partner at leading advisory firm Avasant.
Despite the increasing impact of automation, many organizations are unsure of how to implement programs successfully and lack the granular knowledge of how to drive success. In fact, according to Ernst & Young, 30-50% of initial RPA implementations fail. “Contrary to common perception, implementing RPA is not a slam dunk and RPA tools are not plug and play. Companies that rush into implementing automation without developing a roadmap or understanding the organizational impacts are bound to experience failure or misaligned expectations,” according to Anupam Govil.
So, what’s behind the failure of automation programs in enterprise businesses? This white paper will explore top reasons automation programs fail and four steps your organization can take to successfully implement a program.
