TAP Workflow Automation is a business process automation solution, enabling clients to digitize any workflow. The solution aims to improve efficiency, productivity, standardization, and compliance, as well as drive cost savings and time-to-value. TAP's drag-and-drop UI lets users build and deploy workflows without coding or IT involvement. TAP's open API enables clients to integrate into existing tools to drive automation across the organization.
The adoption of SAP Extension Suite is growing significantly and it has become a strategic platform for our company. SAP Extension Suite will most likely meet the requirements of most companies to get beyond small workgroup apps and tackle more strategic requirements. The most important thing that SAP Extension delivers is a single UI for development effort for web and mobile deployment.
I think TAP is well suited for legal operations teams and processes that have been undergone lean process improvement. Moments when we have run into trouble with the tool has stemmed from our own internal struggle with how we want to run our processes. This is not the fault of the tool, but our failure to properly vet the process beforehand. As we begin to automate more processes, we have the ability to properly lean them out beforehand to make them more efficient. If you have a process that is inefficient, do not try to overcome it with automation. This tool is well suited for scenarios in which you require upfront data capture, routing, approvals and/or e-signature. It is also great for centralizing your data.
We have been able to work in a much more agile way with SAP Extension Suite, and there is a lot of excitement that developing with this platform is significantly faster. SAP Extension Suite is the perfect fit to build great-looking applications that work on any form factor, be it [a] smartphone, laptop, or tablet, and within budget.
I was not part of the evaluation/purchasing process for ThinkSmart. I can say it's a very unique tool in what it provides and has much potential to become very robust. I'm very excited to provide feedback/suggestions so both ThinkSmart & our company can grow together! At my previous company, we used Hiperos as a vendor risk management tool and it was very clunky and difficult to use/maintain from both an admin & end user perspective.
The tool hasn't rolled out yet so we cannot speculate the positive/negative impacts quite yet. However, I know it'll free up a lot of time for risk subject matter experts to gather vendor risk data for critical/high-risk vendors. From a negative standpoint, it may significantly delay the procurement process for purchases if due diligence is triggered and/or there's pushback from vendors.
