Companies are investing in RPA

Nearly one in three French companies (28%) would have invested in robotic process automation (RPA) technologies in 2019, according to a recent survey by Abbyy, a provider of solutions based on artificial intelligence. Among them, more than two-thirds (69%) say they have obtained a return on investment in less than a year, with a gain at least twice the amount initially invested in one-third of cases. RPA would thus contribute to competitiveness: more than half (56%) of companies that have implemented software robots claim to have increased their revenues, as well as their yields (54%), in particular by improving team productivity. It would have enabled 42% of respondents to increase their market share. These results are in line with the findings of Acxias, which has carried out multiple RPA projects in recent years in the field of purchasing.
