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 cost
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. Have the disruptions caused by Covid-19 accelerated the
need for process automation in your organization?
1. Yes, we were already implementing RPA before COVID and now planning to accelerate
2. Yes, we are now in the process of getting started
3. Yes, we have a pressing need for automation but not the budget
4. No, we had started implementing RPA and it was put on hold
5. No, process automation is not a priority

Organizational
Adoption
• 100% automation
should not be the
target
• Underestimating

• Dependencies on
external applications
• Not every process will
have a payback of
less than 12 months
• Lack of talent and
experience
• Poor process design
• Unresolved exceptions
• Automations that
create more work
• Lose trust and
credibility from the
operations team
• Scope management
• Never ending
implementations
• Implementation cost

• Commitment to
change

• Limiting the
benefits of RPA to
just cost savings

8. What is the primary challenge that is impacting your
ability to scale your automation program?
1. Finding the right resources to execute the program
2. Performance issues with my current RPA partner
3. Getting funds and proving ROI
4. Selecting additional processes to scale the program
5. I am not facing any challenges

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
Where do you start?
Proof of
Concept
• Picking the right process to prove the
value POC candidate selected based
on your key business drivers:
• Cost Reduction
• Efficiencies & Scalability
• Cycle Times
• Customer Satisfaction
• Revenue Enablement
• Controls
• RPA Architecture Definition
• Full Production Robots
• Lessons Learned
