What is SAP Signavio?

Businesses are in an unprecedented situation of flux and complexity, still navigating the ongoing effects of the pandemic. They are constantly challenged by changing demands of industries, technological and generative AI advancements, and the evolving behaviors of suppliers, customers, and employees. For almost any business in any industry, the pace of change is relentless, and the challenge remains, “How do we keep up?”  

Are businesses ready and equipped to remedy their processes in response to the challenges? Do they have the wherewithal, insights, and intelligence to mine and tune their intricate business processes, not once, but periodically? With fragmented operations, data silos, disconnected teams, and lack of tools, businesses often struggle to bring about meaningful change and make effective decisions in a timely and cost-effective manner.   

What is SAP Signavio?

SAP Signavio is a cloud-based Business Process Management (BPM) solution that helps organizations to model, analyze, optimize, and execute their business processes. If your organization is looking for a sure-fire tool to help with determining your business processes and helping adapt and govern changes quickly and at scale, SAP Signavio could be the answer. It provides a collaborative platform for teams to work together on process design and improvement and includes features for modeling, analyzing, improving, executing, and monitoring processes.  

The solution has been catching a lot of buzz recently, too. At the recent SAPPHIRE conference, SAP announced “plug and gain” as part of Signavio. The plug and gain approach is part of the SAP Signavio Transformation Suite that allows SAP ERP users to shorten project preparation time, reduce deployment time, and simplify ongoing optimization of transformation projects. With the innovative “plug and gain” approach, data from the SAP Signavio Process Insights solution seamlessly populates the SAP Signavio Process Intelligence solution, enabling rapid access to robust process mining capabilities, including process variance. It also allows customers to effortlessly generate a model of existing processes with a single click. With this foundation, customers can leverage the comprehensive end-to-capabilities for continuous improvement and value creation.
