Gartner names Automation Anywhere Leader in RPA

Robotic Process Automation Software service provider Automation Anywhere has announced that Gartner has named it a Leader in Gartner's 2019 Magic Quadrant for RPA Software.  cent

The 2019 Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation Software is Gartner's first evaluation of vendors in the rapidly-growing robotic process automation (RPA) market.

Gartner estimates that "by 2021, 90% of large and midsize organisations will have at least one process supported by RPA".

According to equity research firm KeyBanc Capital Markets, RPA has emerged as a $US100 billion market opportunity.

RPA is a fast-evolving technology which leverages software bots working side-by-side with employees to automate repetitive, mundane tasks – allowing people to focus on higher-level business initiatives that only humans are capable of providing.

The RPA industry is growing at an unprecedented rate because of the high levels of efficiency and productivity achieved from intelligent automation.

Automation Anywhere's customers span multiple continents and industries, and now include 90% of the world's top healthcare companies, and more than 85% of the world's top banks and financial services companies.
