“Automation is about change, acceleration, and pivoting business to somewhere new.

“Organizations are changing how they engage with customers and quickly adapt to volatile market conditions, all while confronting massive cost pressures. A strong digital foundation—powered by automation, data and cloud — is imperative to achieving years of change in a matter of months,” said Paul Daugherty, group chief executive — Technology and chief technology officer for Accenture. “Over 100,000 professionals currently use myWizard to help create, implement and measure an enterprise-wide automation strategy. Its new features will enable organizations to reduce operational costs and gain productivity, while growing their business with speed and certainty.”
The need for enhanced automation capabilities was highlighted by Accenture’s Future Systems research which found that companies that only make defensive technology investments are more likely to face disruption, growth stagnation and financial constraints. In contrast, 98% of leading companies that adopt new technologies such as automation, DevOps and continuous delivery are outperforming their peers in revenue growth and operating margin.
