October 12, 2018 | Grand View Research, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
The global robotic process automation (RPA) market size is expected to reach $3.11 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research Inc. The global market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 31.1% during the forecast period. Different organizations in different sectors are increasingly challenged by the growing market competition due to shift in technology and changing consumer preferences.
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation solutions has enabled organizations to tackle such market challenges while meeting consumer expectations. Moreover, these automation technologies focus more on enhancing the employee experience rather than replacing them. One of such technologies gaining rapid market traction is the RPA technology that handles repetitive and rule-based tasks without human intervention. Thus, RPA enables organizations to automate repetitive functions and focus more on core business tasks.
In small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) that face business limitations, in terms of financial and human resources allocation, the implementation of RPA is expected to provide growth avenues. As the deployment of RPA will assist an organization to keep its operations as lean as possible. Also, use of automation technologies has become a crucial factor to gain long-term profitable growth. These software bots exhibit the maximum efficiency and can work 24/7*365 on their assigned task, which results in achieving accelerated productivity.
Moreover, the deployment of RPA increases the quality of services to the end-users as it eliminates the potential of human error that results in inconsistency towards process execution. Furthermore, RPA offers organizations with comprehensive intelligence and assists the user with actionable information and better insights. The role of technology in a complex business environment is evolving continuously. The ever-increasing stringency of regulations and the necessary compliance functions are hampering the employee’s efficiency.
With the deployment of RPA, organizations can achieve greater compliance function. Furthermore, the RPA processes are customizable aimed to operate with the existing, as well as new standards and regulation. Thus, automation technologies can help organizations in streamlining the different structured processes at a lower cost.

03/10/2026 | Richard Nichols, GreenSource EngineeringI recently made a flippant comment on LinkedIn, “All marketing and no trousers,” hinting that marketing campaigns often do not have a tangible product to market and the campaign is marketing a concept or a gut feeling.

The Marketing Minute: Your Marketing Funnel Has a Memory Problem
03/11/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMany marketing teams work incredibly hard to generate attention. They launch campaigns. Announcements go out. New content is published, and digital promotions are pushed across multiple channels. For a short period, engagement spikes, website traffic rises, and the leads come rolling in. For sales, it all feels so promising. But then traffic returns to normal levels, engagement softens, and the sales team finds itself restarting conversations that never fully developed. When this happens, companies often assume they have a lead problem.

Reinvention is a fundamental leadership responsibility, and successful companies reinvent themselves before they have to. They see it not as a rescue mission, but as a rhythm: questioning, disrupting, and rebuilding before market forces force their hand. Leaders who change only when cornered are followers pretending to lead.
