The global market for service delivery automation industry was valued at $620 million in 2015, and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 25.7% to reach $6,752 million by 2022. The market is driven by enhanced productivity & reduced cycle time, advanced process analytics, improved quality, accuracy and compliance, and efficiency & cost reduction. However, the market growth is restrained due to high monetary expenses for the initial implementation in developed as well as developing countries.

Currently, many organizations follow a service delivery automation framework that controls the processes and the people involved in it, as well as the products that are used to provide the user with access to a corporate application. The methodology that an IT shop follows to enable IT service delivery is called IT service management (ITSM). The IT team enforces preferred and prohibited approaches to deliver the application in accordance with regulations or preferred best practices by automating the service delivery.

Asia-Pacific is the leading regional market, in terms of growth rate, for service delivery, owing to major investments in IT infrastructure automation and business process automation in China, Japan, South Korea, and India.

Top Impacting Factors

Scalability

In service delivery automation, the solutions can be easily and rapidly integrated to meet significant demand over and above the normal levels. For example, there might be a rise in customer orders as a result of festive season flash sales by a retailer; in such situations, robotic FTEs can be rapidly scaled up and down on demand operating under any jurisdiction (onshore/offshore/near-shore). This in turn helps the business to speed up the operations to deliver the project to the client in a timely manner.

Governance and Reporting

Service delivery automation platforms are highly secure and can maintain extensive audit trails for compliance and governance teams to monitor and track each activity on a real-time basis, thereby adhering to strict governance controls. Around 70% of the service providers interviewed as part of the study have established well-defined governance frameworks for managing, implementing, monitoring, and measuring service delivery automation led initiatives.

High Initial Investment

The initial cost required for the setup and integration of service delivery automation is high, which limits its use in few small and medium organizations. Industries with high labor costs are more likely to use service and process automation to reduce their labor costs and offer high-quality products and services. Industries, such as automotive and electronics, where precision and accuracy play a major role use automated systems to meet international quality standards. However, with new emerging technologies, and growth in competition in the market, the initial costs of automating service delivery are expected to reduce time and cost in the future.
