UiPath teams up with SAP to accelerate enterprise automation for SAP customers
UiPath, an enterprise automation and AI software company, has revealed its UiPath Platform will be integrated with the SAP Build Process Automation solution and sold as one of the SAP Solution Extensions.
The offering is integrated with SAP Build Process Automation and will help to enable true enterprise-wide transformation by allowing customers to embrace a holistic view of automation across heterogeneous environments that span both SAP and non-SAP systems.
The UiPath addition to SAP Solution Extensions can help customers easily automate business processes and operate at enterprise scale. The integrated offering can unlock the full potential of enterprise automation for customers looking to save costs and quickly deploy enterprise-wide automations. With the solution extension, SAP customers can accelerate business transformation, migrate critical business systems to the cloud, and streamline business processes that traverse enterprise systems and applications.
Customers can also experience significant benefits from a comprehensive approach to automating end-to-end processes through:
- SAP’s portfolio of enterprise automation solutions: with iPaaS, process mining and RPA, to continually optimize the business processes to outperform with agility and transparency in real time.
- Simplifying and accelerating the migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud: customers can expedite their journey to SAP S/4HANA Cloud by leveraging automation and proven migration content to prepare, clean, and synchronize the data between source and target systems, speed up the migration process, reduce the potential risks for go-live, and leverage automation as a key pillar in a clean core strategy.
- Enhancing rapid, sustained innovation: customers can unlock the full promise of enterprise automation by building industry compliant best practices and end-to-end processes (such as Lead to Cash, Source to Pay, Recruit to Retire, Design to Operate) across SAP and other applications. This helps to create the digital thread that connects all enterprise applications, productivity tools, and legacy systems.
