SAP TechEd 2021 – What to expect on Process Automation?
A month from now, Executive Keynote from Juergen Mueller will kick-start SAP TechEd 2021, our premier virtual event for developers. Free and open to everyone, this event brings you 2 days of learning about SAP innovations and experience sharing with our ecosystem.
At TechEd, we’ll be seeing lots of innovations and interesting updates, including the space of low-code/no-code. In this blogpost, I’ll focus on one of my favorite topics: Process Automation.
Are you involved in creating or maintaining end-to end business processes?
Are you automating repetitive tasks?
If yes, we have plenty of activities for you at SAP TechEd 2021! Indeed, we prepared more than 6 hours of activities covering all aspects of process automation including updates from SAP Intelligent RPA and SAP Workflow Management. Learn from SAP experts how these technologies are increasingly intertwined and help make you and your business more productive and agile.
We’ve highlighted our favorite workshops and lectures here:
