目次 はじめに SAP Build Process Automationの紹介 オファーレター作成における課題と解決策 SAP Build Process Automationによるオファーレター作成＆配布の自動化 おわりに はじめに 近年の日本では、労働人口が減少したり、働き方改革により労働時間が削減されたりするなかで、ITを活用した業務の省力化・自動化が注目されています。 そのような状況のなか、今後企業には、単純作業をロボットがおこない、従業員がより価値の高い業務に注力できる体制を構築することが求められていくでしょう。 インテリジェントエンタープライズによる業務の変化 人事部門も例外ではありません。書類の作成や配布などの事務作業を省力化・自動化していくことで、人事戦略に紐づく採用やオンボーディングといった業務に注力していく必要がございます。 このような流れもあり、業務プロセスを自動化するビジネスプロセスオートメーション（BPA）や、単純作業をボットが代行・代替するロボティクスプロセスオートメーション（RPA）は、近年、注目され続けています。 今回は、SAPが提供するBPAツールであるSAP Build Process Automationを使って、オファーレター作成から配布までの業務プロセスの自動化の例をご紹介します。 本ブログでは、SAP Build Process Automationを活用することで、どのようにしてオファーレター作成から配布までの業務プロセスを改革することができるか説明します。実際にどのようにしてSAP Build Process Automationでプロセスを構築していくかについては、第2回、第3回のブログで紹介していきます。 第2回：SAP Build Process Automation オファーレター作成＆配布の自動化！ 【チュートリアル編①　アクションの準備と作成】 第3回：SAP Build Process Automation オファーレター作成＆配布の自動化！ 【チュートリアル編②　プロセスの作成】 SAP Build Process Automationの紹介 本日ご紹介するSAP Build Process Automationは、ノーコードでワークフローとRPAによるプロセスの自動化を行うソリューションです。RPAやフォーム、決定テーブルなどを組み合わせることで、プロセスの構築を行います。 SAP Build Process Automation 概要 SAP....

Automating user sync from active directory to application is an important and time–saving process. It is a process that allows users to easily access applications by securely logging in and providing authentication. Without automation, users would have to manually enter their credentials into each application they need access to. Active Directory (AD) is the heart of user identity management. It is an important component of the Windows–based network infrastructure, allowing users to authenticate and access resources of the network. By using AD, organizations can store user information in one location, allowing for easy access and management. The process of automating user sync from active directory to application involves two major steps. First, the application must be configured to use the AD user credentials for authentication. This is done by setting up the appropriate user access policies and permissions. Second, the AD user accounts must be synchronized with the application. This is done by configuring the application to regularly pull the user information from AD. SAP CPQ SCIM API enables you to manage users and their group assignments. If the SAP CPQ users are centrally managed in an external system, such as SAP Identity Authentication Service, this API can be used to integrate with the external system for user provisioning. The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) specifications are designed to....
