SAP
Ruum (or Ruum by SAP) is software-as-a-service solution that ties a team
productivity with enterprise business processes. It was founded by a team of
SAP employees in 2016. Financing was secured by a seed funding in the SAP.iO
Venture Studio - that is SAP’s internal incubation program.
It
started as a tool providing collaboration and project management features
(Project Management as a Service type of solution). This included features of a
task management, timelines, file storage and team collaboration. The solution
can be integrated with other collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams and
Box Inc.
Its
name "Ruum" associates with room/ruum - a collaborative space for
users and their teams to manage their work or project.
Later
it evolved features of departmental workflows. For this, the SAP Ruum is leveraging
Cloud Platform Workflow Management. It uses an automation element (RPA) for some
mundane, repeatable tasks.
In
addition, the solution includes also low-code/no-code process management
platform. An aim is to empower non-technical users to build, integrate, and run
departmental processes without compromising IT security.
To
sum up its features:
Key features
of the new business process automation tool include:
- lightweight
project management workspace
- AI-driven
automation
- integration
with business processes
Concerning
the latest point – positioning the Ruum as low-code/no-code solution. It will
be interesting what solution SAP will potentially end up with. Because in this
area there are already solutions like Mendix (partnership announced at SAP
TechEd 2017 in Las Vegas) and Appgyver (acquired
in 2021.02) in SAP’s bucket.
