SAP has acquired Contextor SAS to help them accelerate the development and expansion of its SAP Leonardo Machine Learning Platform. Contextor’s RPA solution will be merged with the SAP Cloud Platform, conversational AI technology and document processing capabilities provided by SAP Leonardo Machine Learning to deliver intelligent RPA. SAP plans to include this RPA provision in their key SAP solutions.

The integration will begin in 2019 for SAP S/4HANA and will then be introduced into other SAP applications. Over the next three years SAP plans to automate half of all the business processes supported by its SAP ERP software.

“With intelligent RPA accelerated by Contextor, businesses will be able to achieve the high automation level necessary to become intelligent enterprises,” said Markus Noga, head, Machine Learning, SAP. “The acquisition is a big step towards orchestrating process automation and will help SAP inject RPA capabilities into our applications, first and foremost into SAP S/4HANA.”
