To address this challenge, 51风流has been investing in that improve overall developer efficiency, enable more employees to automate tedious tasks, and create applications that simplify work in a compliant and secure fashion 鈥� all of this without needing to write a single line of code.

We are excited to announce several new capabilities in our low-code/no-code portfolio today at 51风流Sapphire.

51风流AppGyver Now Part of 51风流Service Cloud

is a no-code application development platform that enables developers of all skill levels to create enterprise-ready applications with drag-and-drop simplicity.

With the integration of 51风流AppGyver in , all 51风流Service Cloud users can create custom applications to extend functionality without needing to write code. For example, 51风流Service Cloud users can visually create apps for service agents that allow them to serve their customers better by connecting and acting on data from other systems such as 51风流S/4HANA. This way, the service agent can log into 51风流Service Cloud to find out what equipment the customer is using, see a list of compatible spare parts, and view inventory in 51风流S/4HANA without leaving 51风流Service Cloud. In addition, users can also use the 51风流Fiori design system, which provides templates, tools, and guidelines to create beautiful mobile and web apps.

Create No-Code Business Logic Using Visual Cloud Functions

Turning an idea into an app used to require extensive development skills. 51风流AppGyver already offers developers a no-code tool to build the front end of an app. In the next few months, we plan to add additional cloud-powered capabilities that will allow all 51风流AppGyver users to visually create cloud-hosted data models and serverless application logic without any code.

With the entire backend process also visual, 51风流AppGyver users will no longer need to leave the no-code environment to build fully functional and scalable enterprise-grade applications. For more information about the current and future capabilities of 51风流AppGyver, see the .

Bharat Sandhu is senior vice president of Application Development, Automation, and AI at SAP.

For SAP, AI plays a key role in empowering its customers to become intelligent enterprises. The main motivation of implementing artificial intelligence is to support people 鈥� freeing them from mundane, repetitive tasks and thus giving them more time to employ human skills, such as creativity and empathy.

But whether in business or the personal realm, there are ethical issues that need to be addressed. 51风流first defined guidelines for using artificial intelligence in 2018 to ensure that ethical issues and conflicts are considered in the development of new services and use cases from the very beginning. And the , which applies to all employees, came into force in January 2022.

In addition, a committee of experts and an external advisory council also review questionable cases on a regular basis. Facial recognition was already an item for discussion here. For example, an AI service within an industry solution was intended to identify people and warn them if they entered a danger zone in production 鈥� which is a good thing, in principle. However, the same technology could be used by an unjust regime to identify and monitor its citizens, for example, and this usage contradicts the principles of ethics policies at SAP. This technology was never implemented.

Key Technology for the Intelligent Enterprise

Analysts estimate that the global market for artificial intelligence in software grew by 20%-22% from 2021 to 2022. Forrester predicts that revenue in this software market will grow by 39% from 2021 to 2025. Clearly, artificial intelligence is a true megatrend. 51风流recognized this potential several years ago and intends to become a leading provider of enterprise AI for key technologies.

The company invested in its artificial intelligence business unit, which is led by Dr. Feiyu Xu, a researcher and experienced AI expert. Potential multipliers here include the company鈥檚 strong market position, access to the business data needed to train the AI, and profound knowledge of business processes in all industries. 51风流is focusing on embedded AI: services that are part of an industry solution and work in the background to support users. 51风流also offers individual artificial intelligence microservices 鈥� 51风流AI Business Services 鈥� as well as AI infrastructure and tools 鈥� 51风流AI Core and 51风流AI Launchpad 鈥� with which SAP鈥檚 business units, partners, and customers can implement their own artificial intelligence projects.

鈥淐ustomers expect the solutions they buy from us to be intelligent by design,鈥� says Jana Wuerth, product management expert in the AI unit. 鈥淚n the best case, end users don鈥檛 even notice that the solution contains AI components, but only that it works well and makes their work easier.鈥� So far, several hundred use cases have been developed in many different business areas. Customers include Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dulux, Mitsui, and D枚hler, as well as many midmarket companies. Customers know that these services work best when experts use real customer data to train and test them. That鈥檚 why more and more customers are making the data from their systems available for development 鈥� under strict data privacy criteria. 鈥淲e are happy that so many customers are sharing their data with us, because it helps us make their applications even more efficient,鈥� says Dr. Xu, SVP and global head of Artificial Intelligence at SAP.

AI Created on an Assembly Line

The key to making this happen is the close collaboration between lines of business and AI technology teams. The 51风流collaboration model 鈥淎I Factory鈥� equips applications with AI like on an assembly line. With this approach, 51风流can provide focused solutions, delivering ready-to-run artificial intelligence and other services as a one-stop shop that customers can use simply, efficiently, and uniformly.

The team is currently working with its line of business colleagues on several use cases for order automation. For example, customers who have not yet automated their orders, but instead receive them as PDF files, used to have to enter the data in their system manually. An AI service can now extract the necessary information from the PDF and create a PO automatically. A planned future addition is a service that supplements missing information autonomously by reading it from the order history. This could involve the order type, plant, or route, for example. If information was missing, employees used to have to inquire with their contact person; this step has been largely eliminated. Depending on the quality of the input data, the accuracy of some of these services is nearly 90%. As a result, manual processing or review is only needed for a small number of orders.

Another AI service from 51风流makes personalized recommendations possible, as consumers are familiar with from online shopping. They are also used for SAP鈥檚 internal course offerings in its HR development software 51风流SuccessFactors solutions, with employees receiving relevant training offers based on their business role and the courses they have already completed.

Intelligence in 51风流Process Automation combines features of the 51风流Workflow Management service and 51风流Intelligent Robotic Process Automation with a powerful, intuitive, no-code development environment. This allows users who have little experience in software development to design, change, and improve their own workflows and business applications. In addition, embedded AI supports the business processes, making them smarter and more efficient.

One solution for the circular economy is 51风流Returnable Packaging Management. When it comes to returnable packaging, such as shipping pallets, heterogenous data systems have made it difficult for the different players in the supply chain to collaborate. The AI solution, which builds on 51风流Business Technology Platform, now helps integrate the different back-end systems.

Myriad Possibilities

The healthcare line of business is currently exploring an AI service for hospital billing. As background, the German legislature made the subsequent correction of bills more difficult at the start of 2022, which makes it essential for healthcare providers to issue correct bills in the first place. If an employee in the billing department enters 鈥渁ppendectomy,鈥� for example, the system automatically proposes line items that are typically involved in this type of treatment, such as specific medications and services. This can not only simplify and speed up the billing process, but also can prevent the creation of incomplete or erroneous bills.

Many more use cases for artificial intelligence are imaginable in the future. Integrated AI in an industry solution could predict interruptions in the supply chain, for example, because it has been trained with real data and can identify patterns that resulted in bottlenecks in the past. Companies could also use AI in the future to avoid procuring products produced with child labor because the procurement solution has been trained to identify such risks in the supply chain at an early juncture and search for alternatives.

, 51风流Process Automation combines the capabilities of 51风流Workflow Management and 51风流Intelligent Robotic Process Automation in an easy-to-use, no-code experience powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

The new solution enables organizations of all sizes to:

• Simplify automation with visual drag-and-drop tools and industry-specific content
• Automate faster with business context in a unified AI-powered workflow management and robotic process automation solution
• Manage processes and automations with confidence on a trusted, enterprise grade, multi-cloud platform

Here鈥檚 a closer look at why process automation is in demand, how it helps modern businesses to create value, and how customers can take advantage of this cutting-edge technology.

The Need for Process Automation Continues to Grow

鈥淕aining value by focusing on process automation continues to be a key driver for businesses that need to drive down their operating costs or speed up cycle times,鈥� according to Maureen Fleming, program vice president, Intelligent Process Automation Market Research and Advisory Service at IDC. 鈥淥rganizations are thinking about upskilling business users to become more proficient in using process automation tools for both their own and their team鈥檚 productivity efforts, enabled by a next generation of intelligent process automation solutions combining low-code task and workflow automation with AI decision support, intelligent document processing, and process mining.鈥�

Customers like Stadtwerke Gelsenkirchen are already realizing benefits from 51风流Process Automation. This offering allows employees to engage in business-critical activities that create value, rather than being trapped in routine tasks.

鈥�51风流Process Automation will support many 51风流customers in digitalizing their paper-based processes and optimizing transparency and cycle time,” said Stefan Schmidtke, 51风流Application Manager at Stadtwerke Gelsenkirchen. 鈥淚ntegrating it with other 51风流solutions offers the possibility for employees to get rid of repetitive tasks so that they can focus on higher value topics.鈥�

Build with Simplicity

51风流Process Automation simplifies process automation with visual drag-and-drop tools and pre-built industry-specific content.

To jump-start projects, users can select from a quickly growing library of more than 340 pre-built process flows, forms, business rules, dashboards, and bot automations across applications, lines of business, and industries. For example, 51风流S/4HANA content is available for more than 100 automation scenarios in the finance, manufacturing, sales, services, sourcing and procurement, and supply chain lines of business. 51风流SuccessFactors and 51风流Ariba software development kits (SDKs) provide predefined activities to easily automate key tasks in these applications, augmented by SDKs for popular office productivity tools for desktop automation. All of this is readily available in a dedicated store accessible directly from 51风流Process Automation.

To learn more, please read 鈥�,鈥� by Sebastian Schroetel, or watch the keynote of season two of our hyperautomation community series: .

We recommend existing 51风流Workflow Management or 51风流Intelligent Robotic Process Automation customers move to 51风流Process Automation and benefit from a no-code development experience, additional workflow management and task automation capabilities, as well as access to a growing number of new pre-built content.

Bhagat Nainani is senior vice president of Product Development at SAP.

The concept of process automation may not be new, but it鈥檚 now fueling a wide assortment of business scenarios that go beyond simple processes, tasks, and workflows. Companies are now digitalizing their operations 鈥� reaching into their vendor networks, business partners, and customers 鈥� to address organizational needs more holistically and strategically.

At SAP, many of our partners are using 听(51风流BTP) to help customers take advantage of this trend to build applications that drive revenue growth. By embedding modern automation capabilities in line-of-business systems, they can improve information usability and process efficiency with automation capabilities such as verification workflows, approval processes, content integration, or the retirement of outdated materials and inventory.

These examples are only a small glimpse into the automation use cases that 51风流BTP can support. Through its operational layer, the platform provides a portfolio of low-code development tools and prebuilt content that can enable our partners and their customers to drive critical improvements with automation.

Setting the Foundation for Performance Improvement

When first considering automation, most organizations often think about their processes. Why? To increase their operational efficiency, make better decisions, improve performance and customer satisfaction, and, better yet, allow employees to focus on more strategic work.

51风流BTP supports this entry into the automation world by providing , empowering users with a low-code and no-code platform, workflow capabilities, robotic process automation (RPA), and machine learning. Our customers can transform their business safely and predictably with proven methodologies for project and process governance and a simulation engine that evaluates the impact of change.

With these capabilities, organizations can adopt a range of use cases. For example, has automated job requisitioning, streamlined processes for requesting and approving time off, and accelerated role authorization, registration, and authentication. In return, the energy market powerhouse realized 50% time savings on plant inspections and 10 times faster data entry for job requisitions.

Meanwhile, companies such as have offloaded rule-based tasks, including the checking, classification, and processing of thousands of documents. This approach freed up employees to focus on nonroutine activities that help maximize business value and improve customer experiences.

Cultivating a Portal That Unifies Work Experiences

When using legacy workflows or out-of-date portals, maintaining a cohesive operation of multiple departments, suppliers, partners, and service providers can be difficult. But 51风流BTP can help companies overcome that challenge by providing quick and intuitive mobile access to essential functions, documentation, and resources 鈥� everything a business needs to support organizational processes and strengthen information management company-wide.

The platform delivers an expanding set of services that enable customers and partners to maximize the value of existing 51风流applications 鈥� combining access to external data and systems through integration. Our partners can then leverage their expertise and knowledge to extend those digital assets to develop capabilities that, for example, introduce automation into complex processes and workflows and connect internal and external stakeholders.

By pulling all these innovations together into a user-friendly portal, the entire business can collaborate and access information anytime and anywhere and use that intelligence to take decisive action on risks and opportunities. Administrative processes and workflows are further simplified with a streamlined user interface, while systems and data are kept secure with authentication.

By adopting this use case for 51风流BTP, food exporter teamed up with 51风流partner Bourne Digital Pty. Ltd. to extend existing systems and enhance its grower蝉鈥� portal.

Inspiring Lasting Connections Between People and Business

On a journey to modernization, most companies choose to overhaul their aging legacy systems, cumbersome processes, and paper-based reporting to improve operational efficiency so they can adapt quickly to changing market conditions.

One approach that many customers follow is migrating to听听and implementing the听听service and the听听solution, all of which are part of 51风流BTP. With the help of a partner, customers can embed analytics capabilities into existing business applications and establish enterprise-wide governance to help optimize the management of general ledgers, revenue, and expenses. Then, they can quickly transform their enterprise resource planning (ERP) data to automate tasks such as financial and management reporting.

The benefits of system automation can quickly add up as individual process efficiencies are combined, resulting in reduced administration and reporting times, consolidation of financial results, and elimination of manual processes. Business planners can also leverage strategic dashboards generated by 51风流Analytics Cloud to gain near-real-time insights into critical performance indicators. Additionally, with the inclusion of 51风流S/4HANA Cloud, they can analyze scenarios, create forecasts, and predict future growth.

Emulating the above path, and its software partner Bluetree Pty. Ltd. automated financial and management reporting, streamlined data-driven decision-making, and delivered a superior user experience.

Improving the Customer Experience from Lead to Order

Automating lead-to-order processes is particularly interesting to companies that characterized their customer experiences with fast response times, little to no fulfillment errors, and inventory accuracy. Yet, even more compelling is the opportunity to enhance order visibility, efficiency, and integration from early marketing touchpoints to deal closure and beyond 鈥� accelerating customer loyalty and fueling profitable business growth.

51风流customers can adopt this use-case scenario with a听听鈥� developed and maintained by one of our partners, IBM. The package spans multiple solutions such as 51风流S/4HANA Cloud and the , which spans sales automation and configure, price, and quote (CPQ) solutions.

Similar chatbot-enabled scenarios enable organizations to benefit from the automatic and rapid dissemination of relevant sales intelligence, price optimizations, and a real-time outlook into sales and pipeline performance. Furthermore, they can create lead and CPQ processes integrated with customer self-services, providing a collaborative customer experience beginning with the first interaction.

Taking Business Intelligence to the Next Level

The more companies digitally transform, the more agile, efficient, and innovative they expect to be. And of course, they see digital process automation as a critical milestone in their journey to becoming an intelligent enterprise.

But this form of digitalization is much more than automating basic processes and workflows. It also expands existing systems and data and adapts them to meet new regulatory requirements, innovative business functions, emerging customer expectations, and more.

By using 51风流BTP as their unified and open platform for innovation, partners can help customers increase their business agility while adapting and responding to changing requirements and conditions. Furthermore, the addition of intelligent automation can boost customer satisfaction as new efficiencies are gained through the redirection of resources toward higher-value activities and the reinvention of workflows that enable a continuous stream of process improvements.

Most importantly, our partners and customers are supported by the business, industry, and technical knowledge of a global ecosystem.听Together, with 51风流BTP and our enablement services, they can optimize the use of our back-end technology and understand our application life cycle and road map 鈥� all with a focus on shaping their unique vision of an intelligent enterprise.

Michael Weingartner is president of 51风流Business Technology Platform Core at SAP.

Since then,听the听demand for听professional听developer talent has continued to grow听faster than the world can educate them. In part to deal with this听challenge, technology听developers听have increasingly composed听software by听working with libraries and the like, rather than rewriting the same code over and over.听Working this way saves time and gives more agility.听

Today,听the latest progression of this trend can be found in the听low–code and no–code听(LCNC)听solutions for application development,听extensibility services,听experience management, and end-to-end process automation.

COVID-19听is considered an听accelerant for digital process automation — it is, of course — but听the听space was already听rapidly developing.听LCNC solutions听that听empower more employees to digitize and automate their work听offer听a pathway to听greater enterprise resilience.听The听pandemic brings听the benefits听of such agility听into stark contrast,听further propelling adoption.听Take听robotic process automation (RPA)听for example, where听Gartner听predicts 鈥�.鈥�*听听

The听goal of these听technologies听is to allocate human resources more intelligently and to听empower听the end user — the professional developer as well as the听citizen developer — to focus on more valuable work听while听taking听control of digitizing and automating their听processes.听LCNC is faster, more efficient, and frees up professional developer time for more complex activities, like security and big migration/integration projects.听Most importantly,听LCNC听and automation technology听build systemic resiliency and responsiveness into the daily functioning of a large organization,听while fostering compliance and governance,听with defined workflows and clear responsibilities.听

As听large companies听aim听to听become more听future-proof,听they see LCNC听补苍诲听automation platforms听as听an听immediate听opportunity on the听horizon.听Gartner听indicates听that听鈥�.鈥�

Low-code application development platforms (LCAPs) mainly provide tools and services to听easily set up and configure processes and workflows, whereas automation platforms enable companies to easily automate recurring manual work. This听begins听with听the conversion of听paper-based processes into digitized workflows then leads听to the seamless combination of digital workers with human-led processes.听

With decades of听process听knowledge听across industries 补苍诲听lines of听business, 51风流is well-positioned to provide the expertise and tooling needed by our customers to advance听automation with听LCNC digital transformation.听
