Process automation technology is growing rapidly to streamline paper-based and manual business processes across industries. This means all clerical tasks will be replaced by automation in the near future. Luckily, advancements in automation technology have progressed over time and we have adapted to these changes throughout history. This infographic illustrates this progression of automation through the agrarian, industrial, and information economic shifts, or waves, and provides market statistics that help prepare for what’s next.

This means that employees with clerical tasks should expect a change in job responsibilities, as their lower-level-thinking routines will likely be automated. This infographic will explain how to enhance your skills to stay employable in the long term, as we all learn to adapt with IA.
