Rise of the Robots: Five Real Ways to Revolutionize and Simplify How You Use SAP
It’s a familiar story to most enterprise employees. Much of your day gets consumed working in robust but complex SAP applications. You also constantly move from SAP modules to e-mail to meetings to get stuff done - but somehow it never feels like your work is really done.
Imagine how much simpler work could be if you had an “assistant” to tackle time-consuming tasks within SAP systems. Now, imagine if you simply had to message that assistant to ask for information, get relevant alerts, or take action. And 24x7x365 they worked for you.
That scenario is a reality today. Through a single messaging interface, you can direct robots, commonly called “Bots”, to automate and execute SAP tasks on your behalf. These robots connect with business systems like SAP and others via APIs, sending or receiving data as directed by you.
Bots serve as virtual assistants for your company’s business processes. They can simplify critical processes for travel and expense, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and more. Analysts at IDC say this type of technology will become “ubiquitous over the next five years, and will fuel a massive reengineering of the workplace, making it more responsive, agile and able to facilitate data-driven decision making in all areas of businesses.”
