After a series of hype cycles, the contribution of automation to improved service delivery appears imminent. In some cases, market participants and customers are disappointed in results to date. What can customers expect? For the near term, I&O pros should retain modest expectations for immediate, dramatic impact despite grandiose promises, but anticipate an inexorable, if incremental, path forward.
