Intelligent Process Automation 

This survey has been closed.

We've been hearing a lot about “smart automation,” “hyper-automation,” and “intelligent process automation” (IPA). These terms all refer to the same thing: the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automate more complex processes and tasks that are beyond the scope of what's currently possible using conventional business process automation.

One area where IPA is getting considerable attention is in robotic process automation (RPA). Many RPA providers have jumped on the IPA bandwagon and are moving to integrate various AI technologies, including ML, natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition, intelligent optical character recognition (iOCR), and smartbots into their platforms. RPA providers are also attempting to position their products as a familiar platform for organizations to segue AI into their operations.

We are conducting a confidential survey on how organizations are adopting—or planning to adopt—IPA and RPA and what they see as the possible impacts on their businesses. We also seek to identify important trends as well as issues and other considerations organizations are encountering or foresee encountering in their efforts.

Thank you in advance for taking our survey. Please be assured that all answers will be kept confidential. Your input is much appreciated, because it allows us to separate fact from hype. I will provide you with important trends and findings in upcoming Cutter Consortium research. To thank you for participating, we'll send you a copy of our new report Beyond Automation: AI, ML & RPA.

Our goal is to identify important trends, keys to success, and pitfalls to avoid. And then share these with you! All answers will be kept confidential. 

 

Thank you for your participation!
