What's up with SAP Cloud Platform
Workflow? |
|
Though it's a quite new service, it already reached a lot of
interest. Several customers and partners are using SAP Cloud
Platform Workflow to orchestrate and extend workflows across people
and organizations. Partners like
Q_PERIOR,
T.CON or
Incture shared their experience how they tailored the purchase
requisition approval process, streamlined the leave request
approvals or even accelerate the cost reimbursement for medication
expenses.
Of course, with end-to-end workflows, there is also the need to
connect to different kind of systems. The several options which are
available are described in a series of blogs "Connectivity
Options with SAP Cloud Platform Workflow" by Seshadri Sreenivas
R. Please follow the blogs in SAP Community to stay informed with
recent updates and get involved.
In addition, we want to highlight our next Webinar, where we will
provide you an overview of the latest and greatest features we have
added since the first release end of March. Save the date:
Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
