Report: 81% of IT teams plan to invest in RPA next year

A recent survey conducted by Robocorp gathered the perspectives of RPA users, specifically IT teams, to better understand current RPA (robotic process automation) solutions, existing roadblocks facing RPA users, the ways in which individuals are currently using their RPA technology, how much they ‘see investing and where there is room for growth.

In the first place, Robocorp found that there is incredible growth within the RPA industry: 67% of respondents have invested in RPA technology in the past year and, even further, 81% of respondents plan to invest in RPA in the next year to invest. Although this increased growth in the use of RPA technology is exciting, the survey also revealed an apparent dissatisfaction with existing technology. Not only do 69% of respondents experience broken bumps with their current RPA at least once a week, but 65% of respondents agree that they will benefit from usage-based pricing.

To add to the dissatisfaction experienced by current RPA users, the survey also revealed that most individuals do not even use the RPA technology that will best suit their needs: 34% of respondents say the primary value of RPA is the ability to adjust current. technology to meet evolving needs and 22% say it’s ability to scale and meet evolving processing needs. This makes up for 56% of respondents who would benefit from open source technology, but unfortunately 81% of respondents say that 50% or less of their RPA technology is open source.

The results of the survey clearly highlight RPA’s increasing popularity across industries, especially to drive company growth and success. However, the results of the survey also show that the solutions used by individuals clearly do not work. It’s time to move on to stronger, more reliable and reasonably priced technology that meets consumer standards – Gen2 RPA technology.
