This webi­nar demon­strates from your users point of view what they expect to see when han­dling approvals and oth­er col­lab­o­ra­tive tasks or work­flows in S/4 HANA. The demon­stra­tions will start with sim­ple approvals, before show­ing the under­ly­ing process­es and the ben­e­fits of using flex­i­ble work­flow tool­ing in S/4 HANA to auto­mate process­es in a con­sis­tent man­ner. By get­ting a feel for the what the end-user expe­ri­ences, you are bet­ter equipped to under­stand the effects that sim­plic­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty will have on your work­force, and how you can make this avail­able in new areas. Final­ly, sug­ges­tions for the way for­ward will be made, which pro­tect the invest­ment you have made pre­vi­ous­ly in SAP systems.
