Integration to Business Intelligence: Export your insights into third party systems

Estimated read time 6 min read

Relying on live process intelligence dashboards in high-stakes meetings isn’t always practical—you sometimes need a straightforward way to extract key visualizations and insights and integrate them into your reports, presentations, and your pre-existing Business Intelligence systems. Whether you’re using SAP Analytics Cloud, Microsoft PowerBI, or other BI tools, having a reliable, automated and secure way to access key analytical insights from Process Intelligence helps streamline workflows, increase alignment and improve decision-making.

Imagine you’re overseeing a large transformation project, with multiple KPIs being tracked across multiple systems, and are required to share monthly updates in your company’s BI tool of choice. This often involves a lot of manual exports, excel stitching, ad-hoc analysis and then manual uploading, just to share what should be a simple end-to-end status update. The worst part? You’ll need to do the same exact thing in a month’s time for the next update.

Or imagine you’re overseeing plant operations in a manufacturing facility, requiring you to collect and analyse production information from multiple sources. You likely already have the data being automatically ingested and unified within SAP Signavio Process Intelligence, but still struggle with distributing the metrics and insights to a broader scope of employees back on the manufacturing shop floor.

How does SAP enable you this integration?

In the August 2024 release of the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite, a new capability—the SIGNAL OData API—was introduced to address exactly these use cases and more. With this out-of-the-box interface, you can seamlessly extract analytical insights from SAP Signavio Process Intelligence and integrate them directly into your existing reporting or BI tools.

This enables you to combine process intelligence with key business metrics from other data sources—all within the dashboards and reports your teams already use. As a result, process mining insights are democratized, reaching a broader audience and empowering more informed decision-making across the organization.

By making the analytical insights from Process Intelligence widely available across your organization, everyone—not just technical experts—can leverage this information to drive smarter decisions. Whether you need to monitor inefficiencies, track KPIs, or optimize workflows, the SIGNAL OData API helps bring process intelligence into the bigger picture, putting the power of it into every employee’s hands.
