Overview zapAgent Team Werner

Overview of zapAgent Team Werner Functionality

1. General Introduction

Werner extracts SAP data via RFC, prepares it in a structured format, and performs indicator-based or AI-based analyses. Depending on the selected Content Bundle, these analyses can be executed as one-off or continuous runs. All data processing takes place within zapAnalytics. For detailed information on Werner, see this product description. 

He operates exclusively within your locally installed zapHome instance. A prerequisite for using Team Werner is the technical setup of zapHome OnPrem AI.
 
This article provides an overview of how to work with the agent team and links to all relevant content.

2. Technical Onboarding

The technical foundation for this agent team is zapHome OnPrem AI. It is deployed via Docker on a Linux-based virtual machine or server. zapHome OnPrem AI provides:
  • Local execution of all agents within your IT environment
  • Full data privacy (no external data access, no SaaS applications)
  • SAP data analysis and seamless integration with your Azure OpenAI Services

The following article provides an overview of the platform and includes links to all relevant technical topics, such as VM/server setup: General Setup zapHome OnPrem AI 


3. Functional Onboarding

This section shows how the agent team supports your day-to-day work - from data extraction to analyzing and interpreting results.
 
 

3.1 Project Setup (Depending on Content Bundle)

The specific project setup is defined according to the selected Content Bundle. Key organizational aspects include: 
  • Objective: What is the goal of the project?
  • Data Scope: Which data needs to be analyzed (SAP client, company codes, fiscal years) and what analysis should be performed?
  • Timeline: What are the start and end dates of the project, and which milestones are planned?
  • User Access: Who needs access to which tools?
    • zapAnalytics
    • Power BI

3.2 Data Extraction (Technical Layer 1)

  • User uploads Content Bundles that define the approved extraction scope, processing logic and result formats
  • Werner executes deterministic data extraction strictly limited to customer-defined scope
  • The extracted data is stored as copies in a dedicated project database 
  • All data extractions are initiated and controlled by the customer, never autonomously by Werner
See: zapAnalytics User Guides
 
 

3.3 Data Processing (Technical Layer 2)

  • After successful data extraction, the SAP RFC connection is no longer utilized or required
  • Werner performs data processing on copies of extracted data stored in the project database
  • Technically, data processing is a separate layer independent of data extraction
 

3.4 Analysis Results

Once Werner has completed data processing, the results can be utilized via structured Power BI dashboards for visual analysis.
 
Data is exported as source files (.parquet), which are used to create dashboards in Power BI. This allows you to explore results in a structured, visual format.
 
 
 

3.5 Available Content Bundles

The following Content Bundles can be used by the Agent Team:
  • 360°
  • P2P (Purchase-to-Pay)
  • O2C (Order-to-Cash)
  • Finance
  • DuPa (Duplicate Payment)
  • VAT
  • DuPa Recovery
  • Custom Content Bundles
