Micro-Automation Platform for SME's and Managed Service Providers

Project Vision/SummaryAUTTO是一个SaaS无代码流程、文档和知识自动化平台，最初是为法律部门设计的。随着Autto对新冠肺炎的变化做出反应，我们已经将市场重点扩大到英国服务业的中小企业，最初是机会主义的。这为该项目提供了进一步开发我们的产品以满足这一目标行业需求的动力。市场机会世界经济论坛表示，新冠肺炎疫情加速了自动化的采用，57%的接受调查的英国企业正在加快任务的自动化。预计到2023年，全球工作流自动化市场规模将达到1845亿美元，年复合增长率为23.56%。Autto的初始目标市场是245,000家英国中小企业，员工人数在10到250人之间，占英国中小企业人口的5%，但占中小企业营业额的78%和中小企业就业的68%(BEIS商业人口估计，2018)。商业模式Autto是一种软件即服务订阅业务。客户按年或按月支付使用该服务的费用、咨询和培训费。我们打算通过MSP渠道将这一模式应用到中小企业市场。发展途径这项为期12个月的工业研究项目的目标是与潜在的中小企业客户和一批试点合作伙伴一起进行商业分析、研究和发展以及商业化前活动。我们确定了3个使我们能够为中小企业市场提供服务的技术领域：改进的基于表格的自动化和文件存储提高了集成功能的灵活性面向客户和分销渠道的管理仪表板。

Project Vision/SummaryAUTTO is a SaaS no-code process, document and knowledge automation platform originally designed for the Legal sector. As Autto reacted to changes in COVID-19 we have extended our market focus, initially opportunistically, to SMEs in the UK's Services sector. This has provided the project's motivation to further develop our product to meet the needs of this targeted sector.Market OpportunityThe World Economic Forum has stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of automation and that 57% of UK businesses surveyed are accelerating the automation of tasks. The Global Workflow Automation Market is forecast to reach US$18.45Bn by 2023 with a CAGR of 23.56%. This is currently heavily weighted towards the Enterprise market with little research on automation adoption in SME's.Autto's initial target market is the 245,000 UK SMEs with between 10 and 250 employees, that make up 5% of the UK SME population but 78% of SME turnover and 68% of SME employment (BEIS Business Population Estimates, 2018).Business ModelAutto is a Software-as-a-Service subscription business. Customers pay an annual or monthly subscription for access to the service, consulting and training fees. We intend to implement this model to the SME market via the MSP Channel.Development ApproachThe goal of this 12-month, industrial research project is to undertake business analysis, research and development and pre-commercialisation activities with both potential SME customers and a pilot group of partners. We have identified 3 technology areas to enable us to service the SME market:Improved tables-based automations and file storageImproved flexibility in integrations capabilitiesManagement dashboards for customers and distribution channels.
