I spoke with Workato CEO Vijay Tella about a new report, the State of Business Technology 2022; we also looked at the future of automation.

Among the topics we discussed:

What’s your single biggest takeaway from the report?

Okay, let’s discuss some key findings from the report:

  • 57% of IT teams are under pressure to reduce SaaS spend. I’m surprised – I thought companies loved SaaS. So SaaS has gone too far?
  • 58% of leaders are focused on using automation to drive efficiency. What’s been slowing down the move toward automation?
  • 82% of teams reported they are facing higher expectations. So you continue to see a labor shortage in tech?
  • How is Workato addressing the automation needs of its clients?

To wrap up: What’s the future of automation in the workplace? What are some key milestones we can expect in the years ahead?
