Business Process Automation (BPA) is an effective digital transformation approach that can help companies streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance productivity. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global BPA market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.64%, reaching $25.87 billion by 2032. With those figures, it’s clear that automation is a necessity for businesses aiming to stay competitive in the future.
The Current State of BPA Adoption
Deloitte Insights recently reported that only 36% of organizations currently use BPA software for workflow automation. This relatively low adoption rate can be attributed to several challenges. The three most significant obstacles to implementing BPA are process fragmentation (i.e., a lack of platform consolidation), IT readiness, and resistance to change. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for businesses looking to harness the full potential of automation. This infographic provides further information on business process automation.
The Productivity Drain of Task Switching
Task switching is a major productivity killer, leading to a 40% productivity loss according to the American Psychological Association. Additionally, the Gitnux 2024 Report reveals that 38% of employees spend too much time on repetitive tasks. Automating routine and repetitive processes can provide employees with an opportunity to focus on higher-value tasks, which can improve staff morale and job satisfaction.
Employee Perspectives on Automation
Employees recognize the potential benefits of automation. The Gitnux 2024 Report reveals that 76% of employees surveyed believe that automation could improve their work-life balance while 82% think it could enhance their job performance. If employee work could be automated, then businesses could leverage BPA to improve efficiency and employee satisfaction.
