Managing internal communications in organizations can be a struggle, especially in complex SAP environments. These systems involve a multitude of interconnected modules and components that handle a company’s most critical applications and business processes. Managing these interdependencies and configurations are made more complex as organizations customize their SAP implementations to align with their specific business processes. Oftentimes, companies require specialized knowledge for these systems.
Solutions providers like Arch Consulting focus on transforming SAP business processes with targeted solutions. The company recently announced its Looply cloud platform for streamlining communications within complex SAP systems, so that users can stay informed, make decisions more efficiently, and accelerate business processes.
The Looply platform is integrated with Microsoft Teams so that SAP notifications and approvals are funneled directly into Microsoft Teams channels, giving users real-time visibility into SAP events and approval workflows. With Looply, users see what needs to be actioned immediately, and can act without leaving Microsoft Teams. This means there is no need to wade through an email inbox to find action items or view multiple enterprise system Inbox tools. Not only do users save valuable time, but the business processes are accelerated, delivering new process efficiencies.
“Looply represents a significant milestone in our mission to simplify communication channels within SAP environments and empower organizations to achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and collaboration,” said Henry Blythe, CEO of Arch Consulting. “Looply takes SAP integration with Microsoft Teams to the next level.”
The new software works with embedded no-code/low-code adaptive cards that bring SAP actions and notifications to users. These graphical adaptive cards work with Microsoft Teams on any device, so administrators can craft tailored notifications and responses for workflow automation. Information and statuses are dynamically updated, providing a real-time flow of information to all the involved parties. Also, this AI-powered capability has built-in ChatGPT support to assist developers to generate cards with just a prompt.
Looply also features a Workflow Studio that provides intuitive tools for streamlining and automating business processes within Teams, reducing development time. The capability has a drag-and-drop interface that helps developers cut down on the development time required for complex integrations. Developers can visually define triggers, conditions, actions, and responses that are clear, making it easy to understand the workflow process. Looply also has an App Manager capability that allows organizations to define and deploy unique bots to cater specifically for the needs of different parts of the enterprise. It supports customized branding, app-specific user management and central app deployment through integration with Microsoft Azure.
