Key Takeaways
⇨ Worksoft's Business Process Capture integrates automation to provide accurate documentation of actual business processes, enabling organizations to visualize end-to-end SAP operations without disrupting user workflows.
⇨ The solution simplifies the process discovery by allowing any user to document their actions effortlessly with a single click, capturing high-fidelity data that supports the creation of effective automation solutions.
⇨ Using Worksoft's capabilities, organizations can significantly mitigate risks during system migrations, such as to SAP S/4HANA, by testing against real-world scenarios rather than relying on theoretical data.
Most large enterprises depend on SAP and other enterprise applications for operations. But understanding exactly how these applications are used by everyday workers is time consuming and costly: the classic time-and-motion study is impractical for long-running processes, and interviews and manual documentation efforts often ignore important process variants or overly simplify and idealize resulting process documentation.
Many automation solutions, including most process mining technologies, only provide process aggregate information, and miss the specific details and instructions for performing the task.
Questioning employees and tech experts about their day-to-day operations can be a time-consuming and potentially confusing task – gathering data from every employee results in a collection of different and disparate data logs that need to each be vetted to guarantee human error hasn’t skewed results.
Enterprise test automation expert Worksoft created a solution and methodology for handling process discovery by integrating automation measures.
Process discovery driven by a comprehensive capture tool
Worksoft created a solution to help organizations completely visualize end-to-end SAP processes: Business Process Capture. Business processes documented with Capture technology aren’t happy paths or out-of-date, idealised practices; Capture perfectly documents the actual business process performed by real business users, and without disrupting the users workflow.
What results is a broad-spectrum knowledge of the variants of business processes observed by Capture, including automation and a documentation level summary of how the enterprise performs business processes. Through relegating the collection of work processes to advanced object and action recognition tech, test accuracy and process discovery software can be greatly improved.
Any user can help provide vital process data
Worksoft’s Business Process Capture solution has been specifically created to be as easy-to-use as possible. All it takes is a single click of a button to begin and end recording; everything the user does, from individual mouse clicks and keyboard inputs, is documented by Capture. Through the use of the high-fidelity data assets harvested, Worksoft users can help jumpstart the creation of automation solutions for their SAP-aligned processes through seamless connectivity with Worksoft’s Connective Automation Platform.
For those organizations looking to start a major system migration or speedy tech overhaul, providing an ability to fast track automation can be a major benefit – like during migrations to SAP S/4HANA, for example. By using the high-fidelity data provided from Worksoft Business Process Capture, risks are reduced in testing procedures by actually testing against real-world scenarios rather than pre-built theoreticals.
