Leading enterprises are highly kinetic-dynamic, resilient, and seek opportunities to drive business value using the latest digital technology. Today, many companies are embracing robotic process automation (RPA) to drive value by freeing staff from manual and repetitive tasks.

In fact, Deloitte is helping finance organizations combine the power of RPA along with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to perform essential but non-core tasks previously done by humans. That is translating into finance teams closing the books faster and handling accounting exceptions in an entirely new (and highly beneficial) way.

According to Deloitte Insights' 2020 report, Automation with Intelligence, 78 percent of organizations globally have already implemented RPA, and 16 percent plan to do so in the next three years. But RPA's potential goes beyond simply replacing human effort in specific tasks. Organizations that are implementing automation at scale are re‑envisioning how work can be done, which means they can achieve radical change.
