🧠💼 Automation is no longer just a luxury—it’s a business necessity. But not every company is ready for heavy investments or long deployments.
In 2025, more organizations are turning to RPA-as-a-Service (RPAaaS) to implement automation faster, more affordably, and with minimal internal infrastructure.
📊 According to Gartner, over 65% of mid-sized companies prefer RPAaaS models over traditional in-house deployments—especially in sectors like staffing, retail, logistics, and finance.
💡 This article explains why RPAaaS is becoming the smartest way to automate, what makes it different, and how your business can benefit immediately—without disrupting operations.
What Is RPA-as-a-Service (RPAaaS)?
RPAaaS delivers robotic process automation via a subscription-based, cloud-delivered model, removing the need for companies to:
- Buy expensive licenses
- Maintain local infrastructure
- Hire large automation teams
Instead, automation is designed, deployed, hosted, and managed externally by a specialized provider—like AF Robotics.
🔍 RPAaaS Includes:
✔ Bot deployment and management
✔ Hosting (typically cloud or hybrid)
✔ Monitoring and analytics dashboards
✔ Continuous updates and scalability
✔ On-demand support and optimization
RPAaaS vs Traditional RPA: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Traditional RPA | RPA-as-a-Service |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | On-premise or self-managed | Fully hosted in the cloud |
| Cost | High upfront software + setup costs | Subscription-based, pay-as-you-go |
| Time to deploy | Weeks to months | Days to weeks |
| IT dependency | Heavy | Minimal |
| Scalability | Complex and costly | Built-in and flexible |
| Maintenance | Internal | Handled by provider |
