Well, there’s a lot of it, and in many organizations only a fraction of the master data is proactively and efficiently managed. Most companies focus on... Read moreMay 28, 2019 · Kristian Kalsing
The importance of SAP-specific RPA capabilities
The importance of SAP-specific RPA capabilities Again this year, RPA was a hot topic at SAPPHIRE in Orlando. Winshuttle had a very well attended session on the show floor as well as many RPA conversations in our booth. It is evident large organizations are already down the RPA path and most have invested in one of the well-known generic platforms.

SAP Product Data – It’s more than just materials
If you’re running your manufacturing operations using an SAP ERP system you know there’s a mountain of master data behind each product. But it’s more than just materials. And while materials are the largest and most complex data object involved in manufacturing, is not the only data you need to create and manage—far from it. Depending on whether your materials are made or bought, you’ll also need data like BoMs, routings & recipes, vendors, source lists, costings, pricing conditions, etc. Typical SAP data objects in the manufacturing process Creating and maintaining all that data is a real challenge for many...

Does your SAP data spark joy?
Spring has sprung! Along with reacquainting ourselves with the sun and seeing flowers and trees bloom again, many of us will partake in that annual ritual of cleaning our homes. Perhaps some of you got an early start by bingeing Marie Kondo’s “Tidying Up” on Netflix to finally get rid of that stretched-out Hard Rock Café Cancun t-shirt from spring break or the ticket stubs from that Hootie and the Blowfish concert.
