Intelligent automation also triggers major restraints to its implementation within a business

As a large number of businesses acknowledge the critical importance of intelligent automation, it also triggers major restraints to its implementation within a business.

Lack of Talent

While integrating new technology and tools, finding the right talent or people with germane skills and knowledge to support businesses is very crucial. People with matching technical skills, who understand business processes and have change management expertise that can help guide a company to the future must be a top priority when adopting intelligent automation.

Lack of Strategy

Most intelligent automation projects that are underway or in the pipeline might fail if there is no appropriate strategy in place. Essentially, it is difficult to create a strategy for adopting any new technology. When it comes to business automation, it is critical to know certain strategic considerations, including the adoption schedule, the scope of adoption, governance, and more.

Security by Design in IA

With any technology, security must be a primary need. For IA, the greatest security issue usually emerges where humans and machines connect. For instance, human error during an automated financial reporting process can bring about losing-man weeks, and a delay in the reporting of the group's finances. Also, businesses must consider other challenges including data loss, hacking, privilege abuse, vulnerabilities, and malware, which all can draw the centrality of security to IA deployments.

Change Management

Each company has its own unique culture determining the resistance or acceptance of the change. As businesses embrace new technologies enthusiastically, they need to consider a tailored change management plan and a people-centered approach. If not implemented appropriately, this could cause resistance, non-compliance, and upheaval.
