Editor's Notes
- Note to sales:
- Note to sales: Use this slide to outline the main value propositions we deliver when it comes to materials and product data.
- What are we going to talk about today…
- Talk track: Coming out of the pandemic, many of the critical needs our companies have are the same as they were before the pandemic, but now there is a more urgent need to address them before we are faced with another sudden, existential disruption. Talking with our customers we believe the three core needs that companies have, which can be addressed by automation are: 1.) The need to be more agile, with the ability to pivot and adapt when our businesses or markets are disrupted. 2.) We continue to need to go faster to meet competitive threats and keep up with the ever-accelerating changes we see in the marketplace 3.) We need to do these first two while improving the quality and integrity of our most important data – our master data. Since data has become the fuel we use to make critical business decisions, we need to make sure that it is of the highest quality and that we can rely on it.
- [Used as an opening slide to all presentations – this is why Precisely Automate exists – to help business teams in the largest organizations in the world make a real impact, whether it’s at a personal, departmental or company level. Craft your own “Precisely Why” story to tell here.]
- TALK TRACK Your team may be supporting multiple business units on data management across multiple SAP instances. This could be several functional areas or regions across the world. When this is the case, you can quickly become the bottleneck for developing new solutions for automation. Working with business users on analyzing requirements and creating templates in a layout they are happy with can take up a lot of time. In the Automate Studio model, you can really scale up by pushing out a lot of the script development work to the different lines of business, without losing governance and control.
- Note to sales:
- Note to sales:
- The particular use case I’d like to highlight was changing a subset of materials from manufactured to kitted, which effected BoMs, routings and sales orders.
- Note to sales:
- Agility to quickly adapt to changes in your business environment through flexible workflow automation Also – Low code/no code environment enables faster solution development through citizen development Speed for faster, more efficient processes Improved initial data quality through elimination of manual data entry and integrated data stewardship capabilities Visibility throughout a complex process for: Reporting Process Intelligence Process linking - real-time process tracking (Does this get called out separately?) Audit support Historical comparison/analysis Business team focus – Low code/no code environment enables business teams and those closest to a process to develop automation solutions Automation flexibility - to determine best automation route (attended vs unattended, form or Excel interface, connection to other systems of record through APIs for end-to-end process automation) Scalability to process almost any amount of SAP data as needed by a process step Proven track record – Nearly twenty years of SAP ERP process automation success has demonstrated why Evolve is the leading process automation platform/solution for thousands of customers world-wide.
- Questions? Can you also do Vendor and Customer masters too? I’m on S4 Hana will this work with my system? I have custom fields in my material master, does this work for those? We often have fields that the business is missing can you make them require even if SAP doesn’t require them? We would love to speak to you in more detail about your product data processes and how we can help you make an impact to your business , so please feel free to reach out to us.
