With operational efficiency the goal of most midmarket organizations, why are some successful with process automation while others struggle? IDC answers this question in our worldwide 2024 State of Automation Survey of more than 1,000 business and IT decision makers.

When an automation project is successful, it positively impacts business operations. Combining automation success with a larger budget accelerates the benefits of process improvement.
