The Capgemini Research Institute surveyed more than 700 senior executives who are experimenting with or implementing automation and found that few organisations are deploying multiple use cases at scale (i.e. implementations that go beyond pilot and test projects and are adopted at a larger scale across business units, functions or geographies). This is despite forecasts that cost savings of $32 billion to $165 billion could be realised across sectors (including automotive, retail, utilities, and manufacturing) over the next five years by implementing automation at scale. Of those organisations that are experimenting with or implementing automation, 25% are using automation at scale in the Automotive sector, followed by Industrial Manufacturing and Retail, both at 15%.

The report also reveals where organisations are seeing the greatest benefits in terms of their back-, middle- and front-office operations and key recommendations for how organisations can scale their automation efforts, drawing on the best practices of automation leaders.
