Simplifying the integration between SAP and Microsoft Teams

Simplifying the integration between SAP and Microsoft Teams

 

Your daily business operations are too complicated and time-consuming? For your current approval processes, you have to login to multiple systems to collect all necessary information – like Microsoft Outlook, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori Launchpad and Microsoft Teams? If yes, this is for you!

Convenient, efficient and flexible

By integrating SAP S/4HANA with Microsoft Teams, you will be able to approve or reject your business operations directly in Microsoft Teams. Using an integration that is based on SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP), you will receive a notification in your Microsoft Teams app as soon as a new approval process is awaiting your approval. Once opening the Microsoft Teams app, you can review all relevant information on which you can base your decision on. Approving your business operations directly in Microsoft Teams is convenient and speeds up your approval processes.

Using Neomore’s SAP to Microsoft Teams integration, you will be able to approve your business processes directly in Microsoft Teams – on desktop and smartphones. It integrates well with your existing standard S/4HANA approval processes, supports multi-level approval processes and multiple approvers per approval step. All approvers and managers will receive notifications in Microsoft Teams to verify the details and based on that information, they can either approve or reject the business object directly in the Microsoft Teams app. The approval status, approver name and time will be updated in real time in SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, SAP Concur and other backend systems. Once approved/rejected, the approval status will be synchronized as well to the Microsoft Teams client of all other approvers.
