Companies around the world are rapidly turning to automation to keep business running during the coronavirus outbreak, according to new research by Bain & Company.
“The ongoing crisis forced companies to move their operations remote within a matter of days, underscoring a greater need than ever for automation technology to help maintain business continuity, as companies adapt to new routines and prepare for a pending downturn, automation solutions that might have been years away a few months ago, are suddenly right around the corner.” – Michael Heric, Bain & Company Partner
The research also shows that companies are reporting cost savings of roughly 20 per cent over the past two years from the implementation of automation, while nearly 45 per cent of respondents report that their automation projects have not delivered the expected savings.
