⇨ Automated Workflows - Rules-based notification and hand-offs for master data approvals can easily be configured to support any business scenarios
⇨ Automated Mass Data Validation and Migration–With the move to SAP HANA and to the cloud, we can expect large volumes of data to be moved to newer storage. Data tiering strategies are also causing data to be housed in hybrid locations. Automation can help categorize data, migrate it to specific sources, and validate it post-migration.
