Actually, every line of business in every single company has their own use cases:
Hyperautomation – Everyone has use cases
To enable hyperautomation you need technology.
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA) or ‘bots’ to perform task automation
- Workflow engine to involve human stakeholders and to connect the different task automations
- Front-end: an app (preferably Low-Code/No-Code) or chatbot or even Microsoft Teams
- AI skills to perform data recognition (Intelligent Document Processing) with machine learning capabilities
- Process visibility: a dashboard for your automated process, or a representation of your actual (not assumed) processes through process mining (so you know which processes are subject to an efficiency boost
Why would you look at SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) to enable this discipline?
