99.5% SLA adherence with 50% less training effort, and up to 80% reduction in response time, all at 20% reduced costs per Full Time Equivalent (FTE) is now a reality in IT helpdesk service. Robotic Automation is truly a disruptive technology, which is set to change the IT services landscape in the coming years. Healthcare, Financial Services and Networking industries are some of the early adopters of this technology who have started reaping its benefits Some obvious questions which need to be answered to identify the impact of this shift on IT Services procurement are: What are the benefits from Automating IT service operations? What are the real life cases and applications? Which IT service categories are currently automated and to what degree? What is the positioning of this technology in the IT services value chain and what is its value proposition to procurement managers? What are the implementation challenges this technology would face?

How can John further increase his cost saving?

Surprised!!

So Let’s focus on automation…

“According to data compiled by the outsourcing advisory firm ISG, automation could result in up to 60-80% of cost savings for outsourcing customers with significant ITO spend, as opposed to 15-30% cost savings from the traditional labour arbitrage model of IT Offshoring”

Automation can save more

than 40% labour costs
