When was the last time you had to wait for the confirmation email of an online transaction? Or was an acknowledgement to submission of onboarding documents delayed by the firm you just joined? We bet you don’t even remember.<\/p>\n

Automatic email responses are just one example of process automation, and if you look around, you will find many such instances.<\/p>\n

Using technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), process automation helps companies automate repetitive tasks and scale complex processes. This means humans can focus on what they do best: strategise to accelerate business growth.But to maximise the impact of technology, it is important to align it with business goals.<\/p>\n

This is where IT leaders today play a pivotal role – by getting a deeper understanding of the organisation’s business needs and aligning those to digital transformation goals and outcomes.<\/p>\n

Challenges to adopting process automation extensively <\/span> <\/h2>\n

Salesforce, along with Pulse,surveyed 100 global IT leaders<\/a>to understand how they are prioritising process automation to improve business performance. 53% of the respondents said that departments generating the highest ROI are currently investing in process automation.<\/p>\n
