Deloitte’s Ascend Platform Enhanced With UiPath Automation to Transform SAP Project Delivery

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2024 — UiPath automation functionality is now integrated into Deloitte’s Ascend platform, fostering an automation-first project delivery and driving faster value for clients. The additions will allow for the acceleration of project timeliness and the delivery of high quality outcomes through the automation of repetive or manually intensive tasks. These innovative solutions can be delivered at scale to accelerate time to value for project delivery and enhance overall efficiency.

Key takeaways of Deloitte’s Ascend platform powered by intelligent automation include:

• Accelerated project delivery: UiPath automations expedite project delivery, helping clients receive faster and more efficient services.
• Enhanced efficiency: The embedded automation reduces manual effort, driving operational efficiency and allowing teams to concentrate on strategic tasks.
• End-to-end testing automation: A robust testing solution enabled by Generative AI and UiPath to auto generate test cases and scenarios from business process models and user stories, and automate test execution, defect management and test reporting.
• Efficient path for migration to SAP S/4 HANA: UiPath's automation capabilities help Brownfield+ clients reduce the time and cost associated with moving applications to the cloud and expedite migration to SAP S/4HANA.
• Business-as-usual process automation synergies: By designing with automation in mind, SAP solutions can be built with embedded, automated business-as-usual (BAU) operations for the business (e.g., automation of invoice management and financial close) and IT groups (e.g., batch job monitoring and transport validation). This flexibility ensures that automation is not confined to project-specific tasks but extends to ongoing operational efficiencies and value for clients.

UiPath and Deloitte have a strong track record of collaboration on innovations that leverage automations that serve as value driven, full-scale automation solutions tailored for the needs of growth companies. To date, Deloitte has trained 4,700 SAP practitioners on UiPath Automation Software and developed over 350 automations for SAP transformations.

Ascend is Deloitte’s digital transformation platform that helps companies accelerate and refine the execution of business transformation. Through Ascend, Deloitte’s automation offerings leveraging UiPath technology are available to Deloitte projects worldwide, driving consistent methodology and automation enabled delivery to global customers. These automations are available across various project phases and SAP functional areas, facilitating an effective and efficient deployment process.

“The creation of this comprehensive catalog of deployment-ready UiPath automations for SAP implementation projects is a reflection of Deloitte’s commitment to leveraging our knowledge, and experience to deliver impact,” said Chip Kleinheksel, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “These advanced capabilites demonstrate the result of our automation-first collaborations with UiPath.”
