ASUG has collaborated with SAP experts, customers, and analysts to compile the essential key considerations for adopting SAP Signavio solutions. Explore the top takeaways to keep in mind as you prepare to transform your enterprise through effective business process management. From understanding your business goals to evaluating implementation strategies, each takeaway is designed to provide you with valuable insights and guidance to ensure a successful implementation project.

SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite is a collection of tools and services. 

  • It is designed to help you understand, manage, and improve your organization’s use of enterprise software to support core business processes.

SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite consists of seven core products.

  • Process Explorer allows users to explore existing process best practices and deploy them in their own landscapes.
  • Process Insights enables users to continually monitor and improve existing business processes.
  • Process Intelligence and the Process Collaboration Hub allow users to collaborate on monitoring and improving the execution of existing processes.
  • Process Manager is where users can create, analyze, and extend process models.
  • Journey Modeler supports users’ efforts to improve process development by building role-specific process models.
  • Process Governance allows organizations to govern process lifecycles to minimize risk and maximize compliance.

SAP Signavio can analyze and support processes that span both SAP and non-SAP software assets. 

  • While the Process Transformation Suite is an SAP product, its capabilities are not limited to SAP software. This allows you to get support optimizing existing heterogeneous processes and help reduce your dependency on non-SAP software by rationalizing and upgrading your processes using an SAP-only strategy.

SAP Signavio can play an important role in migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA and other SAP Cloud assets. 

  • SAP Signavio analyzes existing custom SAP ECC processes in order to understand which custom processes are supported by SAP S/4HANA and can therefore be sunsetted. SAP Signavio can also help determine which processes to maintain and/or upgrade to run in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) as cloud extensions to SAP S/4HANA or other SAP Cloud assets. SAP Signavio’s role in migration and transformation makes it an essential tool for moving a company as close to SAP’s Clean Core ideal as possible.

SAP Signavio is a core element in SAP’s Business Transformation Suite - a collection of tools and services that is designed to help streamline cloud implementation and deployment. 

  • SAP’s Business Transformation suite also ensures that all enterprise software systems, including the entire SAP cloud portfolio as well as non-SAP systems, are optimized with respect to functionality and business requirements.

It is important for business process owners to be engaged with and actively utilize SAP Signavio as a business process excellence tool. 

  • Business owner engagement is essential for successful change management, which is a vital part of any implementation, upgrade, or migration project.

SAP Signavio can play a key role in the fit-to-standard workshop process step of the SAP Activate methodology. 

  • SAP Signavio can analyze existing, pre-migration business processes. This supports business process owners in understanding how a migration or upgrade to the industry standard processes in SAP S/4HANA will impact their day-to-day jobs and helps to ensure that the new implementation is meeting their specific needs. SAP Signavio can also surface which custom processes need to be maintained in the new system in consultation with business users. This element of user acceptance is essential to a successful implementation.

SAP Signavio helps business users monitor and manage processes that are built with the application development capabilities of SAP BTP. 

  • This allows process owners to find process bottlenecks and, using SAP Signavio, obtain recommendations for remediating process problems. This process monitoring capability provides SAP customers with the means to continuously improve the value of their SAP systems and create additional opportunities for return on investment.

SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is bundled under the Premium and Premium Plus RISE offerings. 

  • However, as of this writing, the remaining components are sold as separate standalone SKUs. As such it is important to work closely with your SAP account executive and, if possible, an outside consultant to ensure that you’re getting the best licensing terms for the specific components your company needs.

Remember that this is just the beginning of your journey towards implementing SAP Signavio solutions. We’ve highlighted key considerations to guide you along the way, but there’s still much more to explore and learn. We invite you to delve deeper into other ASUG resources, including guides, customer stories, and content collections to deepen your understanding.
