Repetitive, mechanical tasks are the bane of a modern business. But this is nothing new—for centuries, organizations have decided there's no reason to waste invaluable human capabilities on a repetitive task when technology can do it more quickly and efficiently.
Automation not only increases efficiency, it also drives innovation by helping create new business models and freeing up valuable resources. Employees who are free from boring, automatable tasks can put their minds to work dreaming and creating the future of the business.
The Powerful Potential of Automation
SAP customers are discovering the massive potential of intelligent automation to streamline operations, enable new business models, and ultimately transform their businesses. That is why we’ve made automation our latest topic for this episode of
Better Together: Customer Conversations.
We’re thrilled to be exploring this topic with
Uniper, an energy company that is taking a human-centric approach to innovation. They leverage SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation as part of their larger streamlining initiative — making automation an integral component of their digital roadmap while never losing focus on their core areas, and while keeping focus on their employees.
In this episode, we are joined by two ground-breaking innovators from Uniper:
Achim Löbke, Head of Architecture and Optimization and
László Gergely, International Project Manager. They will discuss the market forces that are making innovation through automation a necessity, as well as the results Uniper has seen with their own initiatives:
- Reducing inspection time by half for plant technicians
- A 90% time savings through automating the job-requisitioning process
- Doubling the speed of payments through mobile invoice review and approval
The Uniper story is remarkable. It's not just about automation; it’s about making the best use of these technologies to support employees, customers, and the business alike.
Join us for the thought-leadership podcast and the hands-on lessons learned LinkedIn conversation:
