Reality is if thought on short term cost, migration to SAP HANA generally involves higher costs than other database platforms. In-memory technology costly than conventional one yet requires disk drives or flash memory for backup.
But accepting fact that this is a better method of data storage and reduces data footprint, this usually will not immediately compensate for the additional expenses.

However, these high end cost can be avoided, businesses can transfer their SAP HANA systems to a cloud service provider. Some hardware upgradation still required for this method, but it does enable enterprises to start small and grow in line with actual demand.

Migration to cloud also eliminates resource requirement of admins, as the cloud provider administers the systems. With this option, there is no need to invest time and resources into additional training for SAP HANA.
In terms ROI, SAP HANA offers huge potential for saving on long run basis.

SAP HANA enables businesses to consolidate data in single system. This minimizes hardware and software costs and also increases efficiency.

History

By bringing in many technologies in one roof – RPA is an umbrella toolkit to be used for tasks that can be automated or are repetitive in nature. Going back to history, this innovation came out from the term ‘Machine Learning’ coined in 1959 which aimed at creating Artificial Intelligence at that time. Further to this as development progressed to workflow automation and furthermore to RPA

Need for RPA
RPA was developed to its current status basically for two main reasons

A solution for BPO automation –BPOs need to consistently deliver annual saving to its customers and reduce costs, RPA served as boon to them and BPOs were 1st ones to implement the same

Web or Screen Scrapping – In the 90s data extraction was one of the most repetitive manual tasks and Screen Scraping Softwares (early stage of RPA) were created to extract data. Soon multiple sectors such as logistics, financial services, etc started using Screen scrapping widely.

Present Day of RPA

From its diverse beginning, today RPA continues to grow multifold in the large range of applications. RPA is emerging technology today but is already driving automation, globally.

It is best at automating repetitive tasks like matching, aggregating updating, capturing task which are rapidly shifting to RPA from humans. RPA is now spreading its boundaries and with proper integration, with ML and AI it can perform the intelligent and analytical tasks that were totally human dependent earlier.

Future of RPA
