Overall Satisfaction with SAP Build

The business uses
Workflow Management for purchases and contract approval. With the purpose of
replacing Workflow Management with SAP BPA, we have used the SAP Build Automation Process to
demonstrate the pros and cons compared with Workflow Management in SAP BTP. As part of the review and configuration of SAP BPA
and SAP Build Work Zone, we set up a Task Center to find the limitations of using
a single point of task approval. The connection between Task Center and SAP BPA was
quite easy to achieve, either if Task Center is in the same subaccount or in a different subaccount. The connection
with SAP S/4HANA proved to be simple once you have installed the required Product version of S4HANA. And finally, we also managed to achieve the connection with
Ariba Buying and Cockpit, with some restrictions regarding the Identity
Authentication Services (IAS) and the Identity Provisioning Service (IPS).
  • Configuration is easy to follow.
  • Low code requirement.
  • Friendly user interface.
  • There is not much information regarding the configuration of IAS and IPS.
  • SAP Configuration manuals are hard to follow as the steps are not always in order.
  • SAP BPA has a positive impact on costs regarding Workflow Management.
  • SAP Build Work Zone - Task Center is a great tool for group task approval.
The integration of Task Center and SAP BPA was easy to achieve. As mentioned, other connections were also made once all challenges were overcome.
So far, we are still adapting and migrating from Workflow Management to SAP BPA, so it is difficult to mention an impact on the results of a product that is not yet live.
It is worth noting that the UI is well-designed, easy to follow, and friendly to users who do not have any knowledge of code.

Yes

Are you happy with SAP Build's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Build live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP Build go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Build again?

Yes

As mentioned, the integration between SAP Build Work Zone and SAP BPA, SAP S/4HANA, and Ariba was easy to follow once all requirements were met. However, there is not much information, or at least the SAP Documentation is not easy to follow to set up the right landscape that meets all the requirements; this was the case with the IAS and IPS configuration, where we needed the support of BTP Architects.
