麻豆原创 Ruum and 麻豆原创 Intelligent RPA Move to 麻豆原创 Cloud Platform

However, the 麻豆原创 Ruum team discovered that they had the opportunity to change the product to better match the needs of users and, ultimately, improve the way they work.
鈥淲e envisioned 麻豆原创 Ruum becoming an accessible platform where anyone could build processes quickly and in an automated way without requiring coding skills,鈥� says Frey, general manager of 麻豆原创 Ruum. The 麻豆原创 Ruum team therefore pivoted their solution so that they could bring their vision of no-code process building into every line of business, launching a .
鈥淲e can now enable more people than ever before to build digital solutions that give impact 鈥� and they can do it without depending on resources from IT,鈥� adds Frey.
麻豆原创 Ruum isn鈥檛 the only former New Ventures and Technologies team with a focus on process automation; (RPA) has also joined 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform to further drive the Intelligent Enterprise.
By integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) with process automation, 麻豆原创 Intelligent RPA uses bots for repetitive work to avoid human error and accelerate tasks. 鈥淩PA bots can quickly access all of your data 鈥� including data stored in Excel spreadsheets or in legacy apps 鈥� to seamlessly feed business processes and core systems,鈥� says Sebastian Schroetel, head of the 麻豆原创 Intelligent RPA team. 鈥淔or instance, an RPA bot can open an Excel file received by an accountant via e-mail and parse the rows of the spreadsheet to quickly enter the data into 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, without any possible error.鈥�
The focus on and automation made the 麻豆原创 Ruum and 麻豆原创 Intelligent RPA teams a great match for 麻豆原创 Cloud Platform, where applications can be connected and built to match a specific user鈥檚 business needs.

The Spotlight Solution Gets Its Spotlight
While 麻豆原创 Ruum and 麻豆原创 Intelligent RPA focus on automating processes and data, the Spotlight by 麻豆原创 solution focuses on bringing transparency into the efficiency of business processes. The Spotlight solution was originally founded in 2018 by 麻豆原创 employees Andre Wenz and Gregor Berg, who first set out to build a tool that used data in 麻豆原创 systems to understand what it takes to run a business process on an 麻豆原创 solution.
Today,聽the Spotlight solution specializes in identifying and highlighting processes and activities where significant manual effort is required and could be automated instead. Automation through the Spotlight solution is the simplest first step for companies looking to digitally transform into an intelligent enterprise, Berg says.

The Business Process Intelligence unit will help customers to understand and analyze their business processes, gain insights into issues and improvement potential, and allow the business user to trigger, or even execute, the appropriate action.
