Zinnov’s framework based approach empowers large enterprises in making strategic decisions towards Robotic Automation (RA) investments

1. Robotics Automation Opportunity Prioritization Basis Insights from Fortune 500 Enterprises

2. Zinnov Framework for Automation Maturity-assessment of Enterprises (Z-FAME)

3. Assessment of Robotics Automation Service Providers 4. Assessment of Robotics Automation Platform Providers

Zinnov tracks the digital deals including Robotics

automation of Fortune 500 enterprises, prioritizing use

cases by verticals and in terms of intensity of

implementation

Zinnov publishes its annualRobotics Automation ZinnovZones rating of leading globalservice providers in terms oftheir RA prowess andscalability

Zinnov offers Z-FAME, a four stagedframework enabling enterprises to -1.Identify RA use-cases by verticals2.RA assets (tools used, type of

bots, etc.)3.Service Provider Competencies

(service provider relationships,consulting/ advisoryrequirements)

4.Internal Capability & Governance(COE)

Further, the advent of intelligent automation along with business model transformations is driving the growth momentum

5. Demand concentrationNorth America accounts for more than half of the RA market and Europe for another one-third. Also, large

enterprises constitute more than 70 % of the market

3. Free tools?

RA market may follow the “Free Basic” Route, with the minimum enabling tool being available for free

e.g. WorkFusion made their basis RA offering free for enterprises

Technology vendors such as IPsoft have white-labelled their products (IPcenter) allowing SPs like IBM, Cisco, etc.

to create their respective automation offerings

6. Whitelabeling of products

1. Intelligent automationIntelligent Robots is the next frontier of RA. Companies already deploying robots with cognitive and AI abilities (ML, NLP, NLG) for complex workloadse.g. UBS using AI to identify behavioural information from unstructured data sets to show relevant wealth management products to customers

Enabled by APIs, robots are expected to come inbuilt to automate relevant most common deterministic workloade.g. Pega acquired OpenSpan - Combination brings robotics and analytics capabilities to their core - case management

2. Robots pre-built in enterprise software

4. Centralized control and monitoring

Bot Farms being created which help scale up or scale down bots as per demand

e.g. BotsInsight from Automation Anywhere for real time analytics; WorkFusion offers controls to make

changes and deployment

Outcome based engagement models are gaining tremendous traction as enterprises look to maximise their RA investments with service providers

Source: Zinnov Analysis

55% of robotic automation deals were outcome based as compared to 1% of overall digital

Types of Engagement Models

Drivers for Adoption of Outcome Based Models in RA

FTE based pricing less relevant with RA

Safeguarding against technology upgrades

Ease of defining outcomes for RA relevant processes

Gain Share Model- Gains above the baseline level would be shared between the client and theservice provider for a period of time.

Risk Reward Model- Joint innovation for solutions between client and vendor attenuates the riskand the reward is shared according to pre-defined terms.

Transaction Based Model- Vendor fee is defined based on the number of transactions throughthe process.

Outcome Based Models

Traditional Models- include FTE based pricing, fixed price models and T&M based pricing. Otherinnovative input based models including core/flex models are also used for RA engagements.

Disclaimer

Zinnov Proprietary Confidential

In the context of Zinnov Zones for RA, we reached out to a limited set of service providers that could be potential leaders inthis space. Our set of inclusion criteria enables us to shortlist, effectively based on which service providers are invited toparticipate. While we normally see significant interest in participation, sometimes a service provider may request to beexcluded from the Zinnov Zones activity if the timing of the research or circumstances within the service providerorganization makes participation difficult. If a service provider declines to participate at the beginning of a Zinnov Zonesprocess, it is important to know the following policies:

Some non-participating service providers are still included in our evaluationo As we invite only leading service providers and emerging players to participate in Zinnov Zones, if a service

provider decides not to participate, we have still included them in the final report if we think it is necessaryo Our reasoning is that Zinnov Zones without a leading service provider would project a partial picture of the market

and make it less pertinent for our clients

The Zinnov Zones report clearly differentiates service providers that did not undergo the same rigorous evaluation as its peerso While our analysts have evaluated the service providers that declined to participate, the service provider’s place in

the ratings is denoted by a differentiating symbol indicating non-participation in the research processo Their assessment is based on different inputs than those used for evaluating its peers
