Blue Prism releases SAP Accelerators

Driving innovation and disruption

with smarter , more capable digital workers , Blue Prism has announced new automation capabilities specifically designed for SAP ECC and S / 4HANA enterprise users . Blue Prism Accelerators for use with SAP ERP provide hundreds of pre-built automation components and thousands of actions designed to accelerate enterprise resource planning software deployments and migrations with no code . These automations , available free of charge to qualifying customers , can be dragged and dropped with ease into any existing Blue Prism digital workforce , reducing cost while increasing efficiency .
“ We ’ re revolutionising how our digital workers gain knowledge for SAP ECC to S / 4HANA environments ,” said Chieng Moua , Vice President of Innovation at Blue Prism . “ We ’ re speeding up intelligent automation deployments by offering advanced , knowledge-specific digital workers designed to close SAP competency gaps and extend current capabilities . This completely changes the way enterprises scale the digital workforce in SAP environments to address difficult business challenges . Our customers can experience an up to 90 percent increase in speed to value , transforming deployment from months to minutes , so they can better react to changing markets .”
Androux Reabow , Head of the Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation at UniPart , said : “ Unipart Group is committed to the Fourth Industrial Revolution , and Intelligent Automation is one of many digital technologies we are using to transform our business . The Blue Prism Accelerators allow for plug and play automation of many SAP transactions , reducing the time taken to automate processes , delivering an immediate ROI . This solution will be beneficial for SAP ECC and S / 4HANA operations and migrations as no additional rework will be required .”
Representing the next evolutionary milestone in robotic process automation ( RPA ) and intelligent automation companies can now augment and upskill their human talent by downloading specific SAP competencies and knowledge to Blue Prism digital workers . These skills cover financial accounting , sales and distribution , materials management and many other SAP modules , giving organisations a competitive edge .
“ This new offering can increase the value companies can get from their ERP system while offering lower cost and faster time to value ,” added Robert Kugel , SVP and Research Director at Ventana Research . “ Software in the form of digital workers can automate and streamline much of the repetitive work done in finance and accounting departments . Not only can digital workers increase departmental efficiency , but they can strengthen process controls and enhance the quality of financial statements .”
In addition , many enterprises are migrating from SAP ECC to S / 4HANA , which is a major concern for CIOs because these ERP systems are fundamental to the survival of their businesses . •
