Automation Anywhere may be the world’s largest digital employer by 2020
Automation Anywhere, the global leader in robotic process automation (RPA), announced unprecedented ecosystem growth in the first quarter of 2019, with more than 2,800 customer entities and 1,600 enterprise brands using the company’s intelligent RPA platform.
This growth reinforces the company’s position as the industry’s most widely deployed, enterprise-grade RPA solution. Automation Anywhere’s customer roster now includes 90 per cent of the world’s top healthcare companies, 85 per cent of the world’s top technology companies, more than 85 per cent of the world’s top banks and financial services companies, and 80 per cent of the world’s top telecommunications companies.
RPA is now among one of the fastest-growing technologies with the global RPA market emerging as an estimated USD 100 billion opportunities. The research firm Gartner further estimates that by 2020, 40 per cent of large enterprises will have deployed RPA software, up from less than 10 per cent today.
Automation Anywhere, which rose USD 550 million in Series A funding in the last year, exemplifies the RPA industry’s recent trajectory. As leading global enterprises invest in digital workers, Automation Anywhere has executed new business with organizations such as Boston Scientific, KPMG, IBM, Comcast and Bancolombia. With this current rate of increased growth, the company expects to deploy more than three million bots by 2020, a 200 per cent increase from today, at which time, Automation Anywhere will become, by today’s measure, the biggest ‘employer’ in the world.
