Over the past few years, the evolution of digital workspaces has become a focal point for organizations seeking enhanced employee engagement and productivity. Recognizing the significance of streamlining work processes, many enterprises have embraced Microsoft Teams as a comprehensive digital hub, evolving from a collaboration tool to a central platform for managing key business processes.

As a testament to this transformation, SAP is actively working to integrate its solutions with Microsoft Teams. While SAP offers some point solutions and the ability to share links to Fiori apps through Teams, Arch Consulting is taking it one step further with its Looply solution.

Looply stands out by enabling the integration of SAP processes into Microsoft Teams using Microsoft Adaptive Cards. This approach provides users with a seamless Microsoft experience rather than navigating through the traditional SAP interface.

Unlike Fiori LaunchPad or Workzone, Microsoft Teams boasts a significantly larger user base, making it an ideal platform for internal process notifications. Looply’s notifications in Microsoft Teams replace internal emails, enhancing efficiency. It streamlines processes like Purchase Order Approvals, Master Data Requests, Process Alerts and HR Approvals within Teams.

The integration offers instant access, real-time collaboration and consolidates information. Looply’s interactive approval feature accelerates decision-making.

It provides analytics for tracking approval times and improving processes. Looply is mobile-ready for remote work and ensures data security through Microsoft Teams’ features. The tool seamlessly integrates SAP processes, enhancing the digital workspace for efficiency and security.

Looply, set to launch at SAPinsider Las Vegas in March 2024, represents an important step in how secondary vendors are integral to how businesses design, deploy and solve real scenarios that SAP users are faced.
