The adoption of RPA is accelerating at a faster rate
than any other enterprise software in history…
Nearly 50% of the organizations will
increase RPA spent over the next year
due to COVID-19
The main goals for the RPA investment are:
83% - Increase agility, diversity, & resiliency
80% - Address extraordinary cost pressures
75% - Support remote workforces
RPA software market grew
63% in 2019 to $1.4B and
will reach nearly universal
adoption by 2023
While 80% of CFOs are
implementing containment
initiatives, only less 20%
will be cutting out digital
transformation investments

3. 3But still, most organizations are struggling to
successfully implement RPA at scale…
Sources:
- SSON State of Shared Services Industry Report 2020
- Deloitte Survey, The Robots Are Ready, Are You?
65% of the organizations have
not been able to automate more
than 10 processes
63% of organizations do not meet delivery
deadlines for RPA projects. For the ones
that succeeded, longer-than-anticipated
implementations delayed ROI.
Only a tiny minority (3%) of
progressive organizations have
reached any form of scale with
more than 50 processes in service

4. 1. What best describes the stage of your RPA Automation Journey?
1. Planning to get started in 2021
2. Piloting (less than 10 processes in production)
3. Implementing (more than 10 processes) and expanding
4. RPA is not a priority

The question is…Why is it so hard
to scale an RPA program?

6. 6
Most organizations do not start
with the end-goal in mind…

drivers you are seeking
to get with RPA?

cost reduction…

From POC to Industrializing RPA across the organization…
Why do most companies get stuck under 10 processes?
Most organizations jump directly into a POC to test the technology before understanding the true potential impact of
automation within the organization. This leads to stalling automation programs and lost credibility from the operation
