We are excited to announce the plug and gain approach for the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite. The plug and gain approach combines the strengths of our SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite in a new, ground-breaking manner that allows our SAP ERP customers to discover and analyze in hours, design and implement with confidence, and operate towards continuous improvements to optimize the value of all of your transformation projects.
This approach will be especially useful if you are planning a migration to SAP S/4HANA. SAP Signavio solutions can also be of significant value if you are already on SAP S/4HANA and/or other SAP and non-SAP systems, you want to understand your processes and improve their efficiency.
Where do I start with my ERP transformation? How do I quickly understand my current status? How do I keep my project on track?
Plug and gain is a new and unique approach to jump start your business process transformation journey. It helps minimize the time and complexity of as-is process state identification, ensuring a clear view on the improvement potential and moving to the desired state with less risk using the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite.
The plug and gain approach will help you:
• Discover and analyze in hours, not months
It all starts with your SAP ERP data. With this approach, you can analyze your existing SAP ERP processes with SAP Signavio Process Insights. You can compare the current state of your process performance to industry benchmarks and KPIs. With thousands of performance indicators, you can quickly determine your standing within minutes across the breadth of your processes.
But how is this something great and differentiating, we could already do this with SAP Signavio Process Insights. Now, with the plug and gain approach we take this to a level further and deliver additional benefits to our customers.
How? The plug and gain approach helps populate SAP Signavio Process Intelligence with the same data you have been analyzing in SAP Signavio Process Insights. This is very fast, much faster than setting up data connections to generate event logs as you would normally do in traditional process mining.
You start right away with process mining variant analysis, can prioritize and dive deeper. You add depth on top of breadth of analysis and you leverage immediately the data you have available, drastically compressing preparation times. The approach is simply unique in the current process mining market: It sheds light on your processes to help you understand what you are good at, what to keep, what to change, and ultimately, take fast-informed decisions based on data-driven insights.
All this, in a matter of hours, not months or years.
From this foundation, you can then create a repository of your current process models and then define the desired state of your future processes collaborating across your business, based on best practices and inputs from your team
