UiPath and Deloitte Redefine ERP Modernization with Agentic Automation Migration to SAP S/4HANA
UiPath, a global
leader in agentic automation,
announced a landmark transformation of its own enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system through a strategic collaboration with Deloitte, a global leader
in SAP business transformation. This internal initiative branded “Customer
Zero,” positions UiPath at the forefront of ERP modernization and showcases how
intelligent, agentic automation accelerates operational efficiency, reduces
manual complexity, and enables business results at scale.
Amid rapid business
growth and increasing global demands, UiPath identified the critical need for a
next-generation ERP platform that could adapt to increasing complexity and
global demands. The company faced mounting challenges, including fragmented
systems, arduous manual billing cycles, delayed revenue recognition, and
complex multi-GAAP reporting processes, all of which limited speed and
scalability.
An
Automation First Approach to ERP Transformation
To address this challenge, UiPath
launched Customer Zero—a bold, automation-first blueprint for SAP S/4HANA
migration. Unlike traditional ERP deployments, this initiative embedded the
industry-leading UiPath Platform™ for agentic automation—including robotic
process automation (RPA), intelligent document processing (IDP), UiPath Apps,
and AI-powered orchestration—to create an intelligent, seamless transformation.
This unique approach allowed UiPath to streamline SAP data migration,
improve system integrations, and eliminate manual bottlenecks across core
finance operations, forming the foundation of a strategic automation
toolkit.
Breakthrough
Outcomes and Industry-Leading Metrics
- The results of the UiPath automation-led ERP
transformation are remarkable:
- 200+
automations delivered across core processes by the UiPath center
of excellence (CoE).
- 85%+
of critical finance workflows are now executed by unattended
automations transforming billing, revenue recognition, and account
reconciliation from manual input to automated processes.
- 93% clean core achieved,

project delivery, demonstrating real-world efficiency gains from
automation-enabled velocity in testing, validation, and integration.
“Agentic capabilities are essential to
deliver automation-driven ERP outcomes,” said Jerry Hoberman, U.S. SAP
Offering Leader, Deloitte. “Building on Deloitte and UiPath’s commitment to

for our joint clients, together, we can help organizations unlock
transformative business value as they move to SAP S/4HANA and RISE.”
“Our work with Deloitte demonstrates that automation isn’t just an
enabler—it’s a catalyst for enterprise reinvention,” said Hitesh Ramani, Chief
Accounting Officer and Deputy CFO of UiPath. “With SAP S/4HANA and our agentic
automation platform working hand-in-hand, we’ve dramatically improved the
efficiency, scalability, and resilience of our finance operations.”
Paving the Way for Agentic ERP and AI-Driven Decision Making
Now, UiPath is
preparing for the next evolution: agentic ERP. With the UiPath
Platform for agentic automation at its core, this future-state architecture
will empower AI agents to autonomously manage complex enterprise workflows,
orchestrate decisions across SAP and non-SAP systems, and engage humans only
when needed. This agentic architecture, powered by UiPath Maestro,
marks a shift from automation as a tool to automation as a co-pilot in
decision-making.
Agentic ERP promises to deliver:
- Autonomous
handling of routine decisions and exceptions.
- Seamless
coordination between AI, robots, and humans.
- A
scalable foundation for continuous process innovation and agility.
“Agentic ERP is not just a vision—it’s the logical next step in the
evolution of enterprise systems,” said Mihai Faur, CIO of UiPath. “Our Customer
Zero journey demonstrates how organizations can future-proof their operations
by embedding intelligent, agentic automation into every fabric of their ERP
landscape.”
