After five years of buzz, there is now a lot of momentum in companies adopting Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology. At Everest Group, our Pinnacle Model™ research assessed the impact of more than 200 leading companies on digital journeys implementing RPA. Our assessment identified companies achieving superior business outcomes (Pinnacle Enterprises™), including 4X the ROI as other enterprises. We found these enterprises invested in key enablers for speed to impact in digital transformation and took a more holistic, participatory approach to implementation rather than a top-down approach. My conversation with Peter Quinn, who led RPA implementation at a large wealth management firm, reveals several characteristics about the successful approach enabling RPA success and higher ROI.
