In the short-term, SAP will use the capabilities to develop and expand its SAP Leonardo Machine Learning portfolio. “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,” Markus Noga, SAP’s head of a machine learning, said in a prepared statement. Integration into SAP S/4HANA is expected in the first half next year with other SAP applications to follow. Contextor's capabilities will be combined SAP Cloud Platform and conversational AI technology and document processing capabilities provided by Leonardo. Contextor products include the Contextor Interactive Assistant, described as an attended RPA module, which is deployed on desktop PCs. The Contextor Standalone Bot is the “Unattended RPA” module, which is deployed on servers.
