“ RaaS is an evolving area ” at least an interesting alternative to either on-prem or cloud install on their own ,” adds Wayne Butterfield , Global Head of Intelligent Automation Solutions at ISG Automation .
Integrating AI into RaaS for widespread automation Despite the cost , convenience and implementation benefits , Butterfield is apprehensive about this model ' s impact on enterprises in the years to come , as he outlines : “ Until this model is truly adopted by the main RPA players , it is unlikely ( at least in larger organisations ) that this model will take off any time soon in those who have already adopted RPA .”

He did note , however : “ As the secondary market becomes more of a force and fixed licence / hosting costs do become more challenged via the RaaS model , we could see a whole load of new adoption from both the SME market and the late comers , who , to date , have been hesitant to start due to the reasonable investment that is needed to get going . Most users of RaaS are either first-generation consumers of RPA or 2nd generation who have been stung by a fixed set of costs that have meant their benefits case has been weakened . This is mainly due to poor execution of the process pipeline creation that has not lent itself to making the most of RPA .” aimagazine . com 45
