Course information

Course Summary

Robotic process automation (RPA) helps reduce human error by automating business process-related manual tasks, increasing speed and lowering the total cost of ownership by saving you time and effort. Adding intelligence, which is what SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation does, means automated decision making, which leads to additional savings through the reduction of analytical effort.

The course will provide a solution overview, followed by practical SAP S/4HANA-based examples of how the bots can be used to take over manual, repetitive task within SAP S/4HANA processes. We’ll also show you how you can extend and modify bots accordingly to SAP Best Practices. The course will close with an outlook on our Best Practices roadmap.

After completing this course, you’ll know how SAP Intelligent RPA technology works, how SAP Intelligent RPA can help you within SAP S/4HANA, and how you can adjust the bots according to your business needs.
