To speed up with their goal SAP has acquired com\u00adpa\u00adnies in the past years. For exam\u00adple, in the begin\u00adning of 2018, SAP acquired <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cai.tools.sap\/blog\/sap-acquires-recast-ai-accelerate-natural-language-processing-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Recast\u200b.AI<\/a><\/strong>, which con\u00adcen\u00adtrates on devel\u00adop\u00ading nat\u00adur\u00adal lan\u00adguage pro\u00adcess\u00ading capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties and three months ago they acquired&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/2018\/11\/sap-acquires-contextor-robotic-process-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Con\u00adtex\u00adtor<\/a><\/strong>, which is one of the Euro\u00adpean lead\u00aders in the design and inte\u00adgra\u00adtion of robot\u00adic process automa\u00adtion (RPA) solu\u00adtions.

With the help of Con\u00adtex\u00adtor inno\u00adva\u00adtions, SAP is plan\u00adning to auto\u00admate half of its busi\u00adness process\u00ades dur\u00ading the next three&nbsp;years.<\/p>\n<p>The direc\u00adtion is inter\u00adest\u00ading as there has been already for some years an ongo\u00ading dis\u00adcus\u00adsion of expo\u00adnen\u00adtial accel\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of speed.

Yet it feels like prac\u00adti\u00adcal deploy\u00adments and their ben\u00ade\u00adfits have been drag\u00adging behind the actu\u00adal needs.

The nature of these imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtions has also been more exper\u00adi\u00admen\u00adtal-like for many if we look at the more con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive end of IT-field \u2013 the enter\u00adprise resource plan\u00adning.
