- More than 50 percent have spent $10 million or more on smart automation projects.
- Forty-three percent of smart automation deployments are led by IT teams alone.
- Less than 20 percent of smart automation deployments involve both IT and business teams.
- Just 17 percent say these projects are operating at full scale.
