The healthcare industry has been modernized through electronic health records (EHR) that tracks vital signs of patients and manages virtual consultations. In the meantime, automation has reduced insurance companies’ claims processing and underwriting costs. Manufacturers can enhance quality, operating performance, and supply chain transparency by restructuring processes and training employees to function in the digital world.

Growing Need for Error-Free and Timely Processes

Automation deals with triggering responses, data handling, and communication with digital systems, which typically calls for tremendous monotony and labor. The model of automation-as-a-service enables organizations to switch from sluggish manual operations to fast and reliable automated processes. The intensifying adoption of cloud technology and a huge demand for automation are significantly fueling the global automation-as-a-service market growth. A massive market potential for automated processes is observed across numerous verticals due to the ability to perform error-free operations wisely. Automation is highly crucial across BFSI, healthcare, and IT & telecom, as these industries follow repeated, rule-based, and defined processes. Also, it eliminates the discrepancies and errors in the business environment arising out of manual processes.

Restraints

Frequent Alterations in Operating Procedures and Business Rules Impacting the Efficiency

The effectiveness of automation gets hampered when the incidences of alteration in business regulations diverge more frequently. Platforms in enterprises perform optimally when the standard operating processes undergo very few changes and remain well-defined. However, when the alterations in processes occur repeatedly, the task of re-programming and re-working to integrate the changes increases more than usual. Additionally, leveraging the investment cost of coding, testing, and redeploying robots in the process complicates the operations further. This impacts efficiency and productivity and requires human intervention to manage the revisions, eventually impeding the growth of global automation-as-a-service market.
