Partnership expands automation platform reach

UiPath has announced the expansion of its partnership with SAP to offer the UiPath Automation Platform to customers. The move enables customers to execute business transformations, migrate critical business systems to the cloud, and augment existing business systems with the UiPath platform.

The partnership complements SAP Build Process Automation and will enable organisations to improve efficiency and productivity across SAP and non-SAP workloads. UiPath Automation Platform will be available as an SAP-endorsed application and on the SAP Store, the online marketplace for SAP and partner offerings. As part of the partnership, UiPath is also committed to the continued adoption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud to run its own business operations.

“Business leaders today are facing crucial moments where they must profoundly adapt and evolve business models and accelerate digital transformation or be left behind,” said Scott Russell, President of Customer Success and member of the executive board of SAP SE.

“Our partnership with UiPath builds upon the strong momentum we’ve seen with SAP Build Process Automation. It enables customers to become intelligent and sustainable enterprises that are more efficient and adaptable to change.”

UiPath Co-CEO Rob Enslin said increased digital transformation and the use of new technologies is key to driving success.

“The need for digital transformation has never been more urgent. The most successful companies will undergo total enterprise reinvention over the next decade, transforming every part of their business through technology, data and AI to create new business models and ways of working and engaging with employees and customers,” he said.

“UiPath is a leader in robotic process automation and has a broad set of connectors and pre-built content for various systems. This adds value to our customers’ landscape and helps complete their automation needs.”

UiPath integrates with other enterprise vendor applications and custom applications to automate processes and eliminate manual tasks across SAP and non-SAP solutions. The newly expanded partnership helps large enterprises take advantage of a clean core with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It enables customers to optimise business processes that can result in rapid innovation and better outcomes across the company’s entire value chain.
