According to a recent global survey conducted by McKinsey & Company, revenue increases as a result of adopting Digital Business Process Automation, or AI as it's commonly known, can exceed 10%.
Additionally, costs can potentially be decreased by more than 20% in some cases by implementing Digital Business Process Automation.
Any rules-based process in areas such as Marketing and Sales, Strategy and Corporate Finance, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Risk, Product and Service Development, Service Operations, and HR can all be optimized by the adoption of Business Process Automation (BPA).
