Companies need to enable their people to become automators, as opposed to simply adding more headcount to solve business challenges. This imperative is being driven by a number of trends in the market, namely:

  • The Uber economy and the move to artificial intelligence
  • The demand for more headcount versus investing in automation
  • And the On Payroll / Off Payroll debate

In reality, does this all point to automation? If so, how should leaders approach a shift towards creating “automators” rather than manual operators?

Enabling creators not manual operators

Operations leaders need to decide how they can provide automation services to their business, while retaining the key talent they already have within their teams.

In the SAP ecosystem, services to the business can often appear like an automated offering when in reality, you contract out the problem to a supplier who promises automation. The truth is, we have a double edged conundrum: 

  • Intelligent automation skills are increasingly in demand outside the ERP ecosystem and it's likely to become more and more relevant to SAP operations
  • With a relatively short supply in the talent market, most companies have to look within to close the talent gap

There needs to be an intentional strategy around talent transformation — and it needs to start now. 

Leaders who ignore this urgent need may find their organizations can’t keep up with future transformation, and risk mass talent exodus to competitors who are enabling people to use intelligent automation capabilities. Now is the time to invest in your people.

Those that embrace change now, will be leaders that buck the trend, helping to bring digital transformation to their businesses.

Upskilling is more accessible than ever

Intelligent automation is now at its most accessible and our skilled technical operators can become automation creators. With this new generation of automation technology, we are seeing Avantra customers building intelligent digital workflows. And the force multiplier effect of automation answers the talent gap challenge,  making investing in automation scaleable and more feasible than ever - up, down and across the business. 

Those that embrace an automation strategy, understand that their expert ERP talent has a critical role to play in enabling hyperautomation. That’s not something you want to outsource to consultants when you have people within who are eager for valuable and rewarding work.

What they need is time. Remove the frustrating manual activities of running an SAP landscape and suddenly, your team is ready to become automation creators. IT leaders that steadily empower more and more people to own automation efforts will win out.

As SAP professionals, we are in an interesting position: We are responsible for business critical systems, and the sourcing or cultivating of skills that organizations need for digital transformation. Could the answer be as simple as creating time through the use of intelligent automation?
