Editor's Notes
- #2 Note to sales:
- #4 What are we going to talk about today…
- #6 Talk track In addition to the critical needs our businesses have, we also want to achieve a number of objectives that will help us remain competitive, these include: 1.) The desire to optimize our staffs – We have spent the better part of the past two decades right sizing, down sizing, and scaling our organizations to be as efficient as possible for today’s business conditions. The problem is that the market keeps evolving, and we gather more business-critical data every day. We want to find ways to help make the staff we have today more efficient and effective. 2.) We want to reach ROI faster. One of the early struggles with automation has been that it can be difficult to measure, or has a return on investment horizon that is too long to justify the up-front cost.

- #8 Our Automate platform delivers a complete set of automation capabilities from data automation to complex process automation. Data automation enables you to automate mass data creation and management activities such as pricing or materials changes using Excel. On the process automation side Excel workflow enables you to manage the data automation files through a complex workflow. A prime example of Excel workflow is for journal entries in finance. There is a good chance that you are already managing your journal entries in Excel. Excel workflow allows you to manage these Excel files through a contingent review and approval process that uses your business rules to determine the routing and approval process. And once the final approval is received, the data is automatically posted to SAP. No manual data entry at the end of the process.
- #9 Buying in to the Automate Platform gives you the combined capabilities of Evolve and Studio to deliver end-to-end automation for complex, data-intensive SAP-centric processes.
