Milan Sheth, Executive Vice President for India, Middle East and Africa East Region at Automation Anywhere, has released his global 2020 RPA predictions. He believes that 2020 will be the breakout year for intelligent automation as it continues to bring enormous potential to automate end-to-end business processes. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are his top five: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) The near elimination of paper from all large and\nmedium enterprises. With the onset of cloud-native, web-based RPA platforms and\nrapidly maturing Machine Learning technologies that understand the written word\nand integrate resulting actions within an RPA platform, we\u2019ll pass the tipping\npoint towards ubiquitous adoption in the next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2025, there will be easy-to-deploy-and-teach AI\nmodels for a large majority of paper documents in the enterprise, so that human\nworkers will never need to process an invoice again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Digital Transformation lead by government in the GCC\nwill accelerate regional adoption of automation. With a change in customer\nexpectations and behaviours, firmer regulations, energy prices, workforce\nnationalisation, among others, businesses will need to find new ways to\nincrease efficiency, drive revenue and meet customer needs by adapting an RPA\nprogram which will enable solving these challenges simultaneously and more\nefficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 85% of the RPA market still untapped, benefits\nsuch as consistent performance, more satisfied citizens and customers will\nencourage all businesses to dive into automation. In fact, current Automation Anywhere customers are already increasing\ninvestments to hedge into the era of Digital Transformation in the Middle East.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) RPA will play a pivotal role in global data privacy\nand governance initiatives. The 2020s are shaping up to be the decade defined\nby Big Data \u2013 with the advent of 5G and the explosion of connected devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this new era, we\u2019ll see even more pressure on\ncompanies to be fully transparent about the information they collect and how\nit\u2019s used, with legislation like GDPR and the GCC\u2019s ever-transformative\nregulatory environment, in which a national digital strategy is the driving\nforce behind enhanced citizen services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, as malware increasingly becomes enhanced\nwith Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify network vulnerabilities,\nintelligent, secure bots will be a critical line of defence against data\nbreaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Hiring for RPA skills will explode across all\nindustries and job functions by the end of 2020. We already see an incredibly\nhigh demand for RPA specialists. Over the next year, we expect to see RPA\nskills appear across all job roles \u2013 developers, business analysts, program and\nproject managers etc. \u2013 and in all verticals \u2013 IT, BPO, HR, education,\ninsurance, banking, among others. As a result, the number of open roles (and\nstarting salaries) will skyrocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Intelligent (AI-driven) automation will replace\nrules-based automation entirely. While many RPA platforms now offer AI\ncapabilities, today RPA and AI are used as two separate entities \u2013 one is\nrules-based and the other is adaptive and predictive. In the next year, RPA and\nprocess analytics will become entirely infused with AI and Machine Learning\n(ML), accelerating process mining and discovery, and dramatically simplifying human\neffort in these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, bots will be able to\nautomatically identify the best processes to automate, act upon\nthis insight and optimise deployments throughout to guarantee the best possible\nresults. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
