What does SAP process automation mean for the cloud-first movement – and how can it benefit your organization? To maintain a competitive edge, especially in dynamic markets, you need the agility to keep up and pivot when needed. Automating in the cloud is the key to unlocking that agility. In other words, it’s your peace of mind in uncertain times – powering continued evolution and digital transformation. In this webinar we’ll cover more on the benefits of automating your SAP processes in the cloud, along with: • The relationship between your processes and data – and why one can’t thrive without the other • Complex processes in SAP: what they look like, how we define them, and how we can help – with a real-world customer success story to demonstrate • What to look for in a complete automation solution that will make an impact across your SAP landscape • How to start the automation journey to overcome the challenges of complex processes – and gain the agility, speed, and data quality you need
