SAP Cloud Platform Discovery Center allows you to quickly launch your projects and accelerate your innovations. In the Discovery Center, you will be inspired by use cases and guided from project initiation to solution implementation inside structured missions. Missions feature best practices, a cost estimator, the most beneficial resources, a list of required platform services, and expert support, to enable you with step-by-step guidance from pilot to go-live.
To improve productivity, consolidate vital content, and connect networks, I am happy to announce that the Discovery Center has recently been enhanced with three key features and several valuable missions.
While exploring SAP Cloud Platform use cases, previous customer experience and success can provide powerful insights, inspiration, and build trust. For these reasons, we have expanded Discovery Center missions to include relevant customer stories. This expansion consolidates vibrant content for discovering a solution’s business value and potential.
The Discovery Center service catalog is home to an extensive list of SAP Cloud Platform services. To quickly find the appropriate services available through specific data centers and regions, the service catalog offers map-based filtering. Users now have the ability to search for services based on data center locations or a self-selected region.
For assistance, missions offer two types of collaboration – expert support and the newly integrated SAP Community. As I write this blog post, the Community welcomes 28 million members and contains some of the most current, engaging, and informative SAP user-generated content. To connect Discovery Center users with this powerful resource and network, missions now provide the ability to view related questions asked in the Community, community topic pages (i.e. SAP Cloud Platform), and an ‘Ask in SAP Community’ feature. Questions posted to the Community are automatically provided with the relevant Community tags and the answers will be conveniently viewable in the Discovery Center ‘Support’ tab.
Experience how Service Ticket Intelligence supports companies to handle larger volumes of service interactions by providing automatic ticket classification and routing the ticket to the right agent. Furthermore, the agent is provided with recommended solutions to improve operational efficiency. Companies can improve their response time, lower cost and reduce repetitive tasks. As a result, Service Ticket Intelligence boosts the productivity of employees and increases customer satisfaction.
Extracting PDFs and structuring the data it contains can be tedious work, especially when there are hundreds of files to process. This mission will guide you through how it is possible to combine SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation and the SAP AI Business Service - Document Information Extraction to automate the processing of PDF documents.
As a business operating in countries such as, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden you are expected to exchange electronic invoices via the Peppol Network. The corresponding requirements could be from within the public sector or private business partners. This mission will assist you with the implementation of Peppol scenarios for SAP Document Compliance, cloud edition to automate that process.
As a supplier of public entities in Germany, you are expected to send electronic invoices from the 27th of November 2020, for example via the inbound invoicing platform of the German Federal State (ZRE). To do so, you can implement the Peppol scenario of SAP Document Compliance, cloud edition for Germany to automate this process. This mission will guide you through the appropriate steps.
The focus of this mission is to show the full end-to-end setup for an SAP S/4HANA on-premise extension on SAP Cloud Platform (Cloud Foundry) this includes the following steps:
You will create a simple custom UI application, show the usage of the HTML5 repository and the different options for how to expose this application - as a stand-alone or with the different SAP Launchpad environments. As a result, you should have a complete landscape setup, which could be used for other S/4HANA side-by-side extensions.
