SAP expands portfolio with a slew of business transformation tools

During its online Sapphire Now conference, SAP revealed it has extended the reach of its analytics cloud platform and rolled out additional managed digital transformation services. SAP is also delivering on a promise to integrate the process analytics platform it gained with the acquisition of Signavio earlier this year. Now dubbed SAP Process Insight, the platform adds the ability to identify inefficient business processes using data collected from SAP applications and databases. SAP has also integrated its robotic process automation (RPA) platform with SAP Process insights, in addition to allowing users to capture and automate processes involving both end users and machines. The company is also adding machine learning algorithms to its Concur travel expense management offering -- delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform -- to better enable organizations to identify anomalies and other issues via a Verify module.
