BOTS is one of the biggest examples in present times for automation of processes. Instead of a big fleet of employees for a customer call centre, BOTS are rapidly gaining preference by businesses due to results that leading to enhanced customer service and cost benefits.
The four drivers for the ever-increasing demand for business process automation are also the benefits of the process itself.
Productivity improvement
Standardisation is key to success of businesses as it leads to building reputation in the long run. Automation is a big driver to eliminate redundant processes, increase standardisation in the bargain and limit any or all errors. This impetus to productivity is a big incentive to automate processes as it also translates into efficient and effective use of all resources that eventually increases profitability.
Cost advantage
Keeping costs low is vital in a highly competitive scenario where customers change loyalties only to opt for partners with lesser costs. It is therefore important to automate process that aid in cost reductions while also enhancing speed of delivery.
Customer relations
Collective impact of the above two drivers leads to the most important one – better customer relations that results in longevity of the partnership which plays a key role to success for any business.
These triple-crown factors of business, that is increased revenues, decreased costs and improved customer relationships propels automation.

Most of the challenges to automation are intangible in nature. Some of them are listed below:
Mindset
This is the single biggest challenge that hampers automation. Lack of alignment between the management and employees, fear of losing jobs to automation, lack of staff training to handle the changed processes are some of the mindset challenges that affect automation.
Objectives and measurement
Lack of a strategic road map along with anticipated gains results in failure of the plan. Commencing the change without definitive and measurable milestones will lead to confusion and doubt in the investment to automation and therefore may be stopped midway.
Rigidity and agility
Being agile and nimble versus taking up a big transformative commitment is key. While a foresight with a long-term automation readiness is imperative, phasing it out into smaller milestones with a levy to course change or correct is important. Lack of agility can result not only in financial losses but also loss of confidence for the team.
