Global Automation-as-a-Service Market – Dynamics
Increasing need to Reduce Operational Cost Driving Growth of the Automation-as-a-Service Market
The rising competition across industries has pushed enterprises to adopt automation within the workflow process. Robotic process automation and business process automation has been adopted in multiple industries such as retail, food & beverages, and BFSI. The major reason to automate the processes is to reduce the long-term operational cost. Automation-as-a-Service enables the end-user to purchase the services in bundles (pay-as-you-go or subscription basis), which does not lead to any financial burden for integrating automation within the enterprise or organization. It indirectly helps in achieving economies of scale with respect to total cost.
Lack of Transparency and Privacy in Automation-as-a-Service
The major setback for Automation-as-a-Service in the current market scenario is its dependency on the cloud. Automation-as-a-Service is highly dependent on the cloud-based service which increases the concern of enterprises with regards to data sharing and privacy. Cloud-based services are shared services, which always involves a risk of data breach that indirectly hinders the growth of the market.
