According to joint research by ASUG and Precisely, 62% of organizations cite business process complexity as the top automation challenge. As SAP automation expands across the enterprise, managing that complexity increasingly depends on cloud-aligned automation infrastructure, making this capability a strategic imperative. Automate Evolve Cloud Essentials is designed to help organizations scale business-led automation safely and efficiently, combining enterprise-grade capabilities within a fully managed cloud experience.

Unlike Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platforms that lack SAP-specific depth, Automate Evolve Cloud Essentials is purpose-built for the way SAP business teams actually work, combining deep SAP-native automation expertise with modern SaaS delivery. Compatibility across SAP GUI, Fiori, and HTML interfaces means automation assets survive the ECC-to-S/4HANA transition, protecting the investments organizations have already made.

“Automate Studio customers have processed billions of SAP records and saved millions of hours of manual effort. As these automation programs expand across teams and regions, governance becomes just as important as productivity,” said Ashwin Ramachandran, senior vice president of product management at Precisely. “Automate Evolve Cloud Essentials gives SAP teams the control and visibility to scale automation confidently without adding operational burden.”

 Automate Evolve Cloud Essentials offers:

• Centralized license management for greater visibility and control
• Script approval workflows helping ensure automations are reviewed before deployment
• Server-side job scheduling enabling reliable execution of critical SAP processes
• Comprehensive audit trails supporting compliance, accountability, and operational transparency
• Fully managed infrastructure eliminating the need to provision, maintain, or upgrade servers
• Automatic updates keeping customers on the latest release without IT-managed upgrade projects

Existing Automate Studio customers who have a large number of users or automation scripts, and new customers, alike, gain enterprise-grade capabilities in a fully managed SaaS offering. By eliminating infrastructure requirements, Automate Evolve Cloud Essentials makes SAP automation easier to scale.
