What This Means for SAPinsiders

Rely on one view for many functions. For too long, SAP users have had to jump back and forth between different views to monitor disparate workflows. Dashboards like those from Avantra help users get a holistic view of multiple operations throughout the SAP ecosystem. This provides a complete picture of workflows, allowing companies to make better decisions on how to optimize important activities.

Innovation lives in the cloud. SAP has made it clear that all of its innovations will come through the cloud from this point forward. Other organizations in the SAP ecosystem are ensuring they are prepared for the age of the cloud as well. Companies that want to stay ahead of the curve should move their operations to the cloud instead of on premise. This will give them access to the latest capabilities as they become available, in addition to other significant process improvements.

No time for manual tasks. Leading organizations are removing manual tasks wherever possible through the use of automation. This not only frees up humans to use their expertise on more important activities, but can also reduce the chances of errors. Many organizations are reaching out to partners like Avantra to help infuse automation throughout their critical workflows.
