SAP RPA
What is Robotic Process Automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) software technology makes it easy to build, deploy and manage software robots that perform human-like actions on digital systems and software. With SAP RPA, these software robots can execute a wide range of tasks, where they know what is on the screen, can key-in the correct information, navigate the systems as necessary, and extract and identify information.
By using SAP Robotic Process Automation, companies can also achieve productivity, flexibility, and profit gains. It allows organizations to deliver quick, flexible, and responsive services which improves consumer experience. It also allows SAP Process Automation to improve employees’ workdays by removing repetitive and mindless work.
Key Features
Higher Precision
By relieving employees of repetitive activities, SAP RPA greatly reduces human error, which overall leads to higher accuracy across the business.
Significant Cost Reductions
With SAP RPA they help business increase speed to improvements in key metrics, reduce manual work effort, and provide measurable ROI across industry.
Improved Resilience
SAP Process Automation allows for scaling digital robots on short notice in response to a sudden increase in workload so that organizations can stay flexible and responsive to changes in demand.
A 3-Stage Path for Scaling and Implementing SAP RPA
Stage 1: Building the Foundation
Stage 2: Enterprise-Wide Scaling
Stage 3: Business Transformation
Stage 1: Building the Foundation
The first step is to create the groundwork for adopting SAP RPA effectively. At this stage, companies should demonstrate the advantages of SAP Robotic Process Automation and its potential to transform production.
Finish an excellent Proof of Concept (PoC).
- Provide evidence to secure management buy-in.
- Assemble your RPA experts and establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE).
- Familiarize teams with SAP Process Automation technologies.
- Build a pipeline of automation opportunities and select the best projects to start with.
- Develop a scorecard to track program success and secure budget allocation.
Stage 2: Enterprise-Wide Scaling
Once established infrastructure is in place, organizations can now scale automation through the enterprise utilizing SAP RPA.
- Focus on top-down opportunities where automation significantly improves business processes.
- Increase RPA proficiency by adopting intelligent automation capabilities.
- Grow capacity to manage multiple projects and leverage automation reuse.
- Drive continuous improvement with feedback loops, testing, and performance tracking.
By expanding the scope of SAP Process Automation, companies can optimize fundamental business operations and boost throughput across departments.
Stage 3: Business Transformation
The final stage is where true transformation happens. By deploying SAP RPA at scale, organizations change the way tasks are completed—removing monotony from employees’ workdays and enabling top-down and bottom-up automation.
- Robots for Everyone: Make automation available to every employee, enhancing daily work efficiency.
- Promote Adoption: Through change management and training, help teams embrace their new digital assistants.
- Expand Developer Teams: Encourage employees to learn and build automations, furthering the adoption of SAP RPA.
- Invest in Democratized Technology: With proper governance, collect automation ideas from across the organization and scale them quickly.
Why SAP RPA Matters
Organizations not only gain improved efficiency when using SAP RPA, but also change how they work as a whole. SAP allows organizations to automate processes to realize cost and error reduction but also SAP process automation fosters real-time adaptability in the age of digital transformation and the future of work—an environment where robots and people work together for breakthroughs to drive value and innovation.
