Key Cost Drivers
- Bot execution minutes and process template licences priced separately
- RunMyJobs workload automation licensed per workflow job count
- SAP Endorsed certification commands premium pricing in SAP-specific deals
Premium cost justified only for SAP-heavy finance automation — dramatically accelerates period close automation where general-purpose RPA requires months of custom development.
