Robots as a Service (RaaS) offers a rapid and efficient way to deliver the capabilities of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). You can enjoy the benefits of RPA by leasing robotic devices and accessing a cloud-based subscription service without the need to purchase licenses or change your underlying system and technology. Quick to implement, RaaS can allow business leaders to accelerate plans around digital transformation as it is flexible and customizable to suit the needs of an organization, and it involves less long-term commitment (hosting and technical requirements) and upfront operating costs.
With tax leaders now challenged to operate departments virtually; the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered mass adoption of new technologies and sped up the transformation of operations and business models.
Business leaders increasingly recognize that these new technologies and capabilities, including RPA, can offer better, faster, and cheaper ways of doing manual tasks. Many forward looking organizations are already using RaaS as a transformation catalyst, with some setting up RPA Centers of Excellence (CoE) that are dedicated to training and developing resources to implement leading RPA solutions to solve their biggest business challenges.
As businesses anticipate a post-pandemic world, not only is agility the key to survival in the face of disruption but innovating processes and implementing new digital capabilities is now a prerequisite.
