The need for process automation continues to grow. According to Maureen Fleming, Program Vice President, Intelligent Process Automation Market Research and Advisory Service at IDC, “Gaining value by focusing on process automation continues to be a key driver for businesses that need to drive down their operating costs or speed up cycle times. Organizations are thinking about upskilling business users to become more proficient in using process automation tools for both their own and their team’s productivity efforts, enabled by a next generation of intelligent process automation solutions combining low-code task and workflow automation with AI decision support, intelligent document processing and process mining.”
Customers like Stadtwerke Gelsenkirchen are already realizing benefits from SAP Process Automation.
“SAP Process Automation will support many SAP customers in digitalizing their paper-based processes and optimizing transparency and cycle time. Integrating it with other SAP solutions offers the possibility for employees to get rid of repetitive tasks so that they can focus on higher value topics.”
SAP Process Automation simplifies process automation with visual drag-and-drop tools and pre-built industry-specific content. Business users can now build workflows as well as automate tasks and decisions with ease and, if needed, collaborate with development teams to meet all their automation needs.
To jumpstart projects, users can select from a fast-growing library of more than 340 pre-built process flows, forms, business rules, dashboards, and bot automations across applications and industries. For example, SAP S/4HANA® content is available for more than 100 automation scenarios in finance, manufacturing, sales, services, sourcing and procurement, and supply chain. SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Ariba SDKs provide predefined activities to easily automate key tasks in these applications, augmented by SDKs for popular office productivity tools for desktop automation. All this content is available in directly in SAP Process Automation.
SAP Process Automation enables organizations to automate faster by giving users easy access to workflow management, task and decision automation capabilities in a single tool. Built-in AI-capabilities enable users to make their processes more intelligent by leveraging machine learning for decision assistance, intelligent document processing, and more. The solution provides native integration with SAP applications and connectivity to non-SAP applications to enable automation of complex workflows spanning multiple applications and lines of business.
With SAP Process Automation, organizations can manage their processes and automations confidently on the cloud of choice while interoperating with their existing infrastructure. IT departments can empower business users to build process workflows, automations and decision models while safeguarding operations with centralized governance, testing, and monitoring capabilities. To ensure compliance and automate processes in a scalable and reliable fashion, the service is designed to meet stringent enterprise-class SLAs, compliance, and privacy regulations.
