Hyper Automation : SAP Intelligent Business Process Management

Introduction

Hi All, so many of us are interested in Trending things. So in this blog, I will talk briefly about one such Digital Trend of 2020, Hyper Automation.

Robots are changing our lives for a long time, they do all the tedious or repetitive tasks for you, they Automate the tasks for you. In IT you may call them Robots or preferably the Bots. They are everywhere now getting smarter day by day & making life easier for us.

What is this new Jargon?

Now you will ask, we know this Automation thing, bots and they have been for quite long in the market. What is this new jargon,” Hyper Automation ” that’s trending in SAP?

Hyper Automation is a solution that’s being provides a new generation of bots, that are smarter have various tools attached to them which make them smarter and drastically decrease task execution time. Now they not only do a task but they do it smartly, in the least possible time & make them capable of doing some task which was not possible earlier.

To be precise in terms of SAP, hyper-automation is now achievable by the combination of various technologies such as SAP’s Intelligent robot-based process automation (iRPA), the new capabilities of Intelligent business management software (iBPMS), Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning(ML). In short, now bots have become more capable.

What exactly we may see now?

A lot of talk about hyper-automation, but what actually we may expect. What will we get actually, lets a assume the below scenario :

  1. We  Interact with a smart, NLP (Natural Language Processing), AI-enabled chatbot connected with other iBPM capabilities, which will be the interface to the user. You will chat with the bot about your requirement, it will analyze & understand.
  2. Which will then be handed over to a suitable Execution bot which will be well trained for the job & will finish the task for you on the most efficient way possible.
  3. Not only this process will include self-learning, adaptions to various scenarios & exceptions, thanks to the Machine Learning capability.

What is Intelligent Business Management?

Its basically a family of services to digitize workflows, automate business processes, manage decision logic and gain end-to-end process visibility.

Let’s discuss these services in brief :

SCP Work Flow

It provides Quick orchestration of tasks that span across people, applications, and organizations. Can be connected to bots for a fresh execution experience.

SCP Process Visibility

It provides End-to-end visibility into processes that run in cloud, on-premise & in hybrid environments. Correlate, compare, find bottlenecks, predict issues, the list is long.

      Hello Kapil,

      Is SAP Intelligent Business Process Management (SAP's own Hyper Automation) offered as an integrated Solution, or is it currently that SAP offers the various pieces but the customer has to stich them together?

       

      I could not find anything in the Product Availability Matrix. Should an SAP customer, even an internal customer wanted to leverage an SAP Hyper Automation strategy, is there some road map or further guidance?

      Or was the purpose of this blog to identify that SAP has all the parts, but the customer has to figure out how to assemble them all to work together as an end-to-end solution?

      Is there a team or a contact to get further details?

       

      Thank you.
