By now, most organizations have taken at least the first step in formalizing their process modeling function. They’ve built models, aligned on terminology, documented key processes, and shared their work with the teams that run the processes.
As a process modeler or process owner, you know how challenging, yet valuable that work is. It brings structure to complexity and helps people understand how the business is meant to operate.
However, modeling isn’t where the work ends. It’s where the questions start.
Once a process is modeled and shared, there’s an obvious next question:
Is this how things are actually working in reality?
This is where process mining enters the picture. It’s neither just a buzzword nor a replacement for process modeling, but a natural next step for anyone who’s already invested in their business processes and is looking for a deeper view.
From modeling to reality
Process mining lets you take the processes you’ve already mapped and compare them with how they are executed in real life. You don’t have to guess where things might break down; you can see it in the data.
It doesn’t require tearing anything down or building something new. It’s simply an opportunity to get curious about execution:
Are people following the process as designed?Are there steps being skipped, repeated, or handled differently across regions?Are specific variants causing delays, extra costs, or compliance risks?
The goal isn’t to control every step—it’s to understand what’s really happening so you can confidently keep improving.
Where to begin?
If you’ve reached the point where your process models are in place and being used, this is the right moment to start thinking about what’s next. Our new guide breaks this down into five straightforward steps, and it’s explicitly written for people who already know the value of good process design and want to build on it.

It’s not about adding complexity. It’s about helping you go deeper with the tools and processes you’ve already invested in and using real-world execution data to make those efforts even more impactful.
If you’re already using SAP Signavio Process Manager, the good news is you don’t need to start from scratch. With our plug and gain approach, you can quickly activate process mining using your existing models and start exploring execution data right away. And when you’re ready to go further, the SAP Signavio Process Insights and SAP Signavio Process Intelligence solutions—our Process Analysis and Mining capabilities—offer the full depth to analyze, monitor, and continuously optimize your processes
As more teams across the SAP Signavio community make this shift—from modeling to execution insight—we’ll share more learnings, examples, and ideas. We’d love to hear from you if you’re exploring this or just curious about what it could unlock.
This is where process modeling meets continuous improvement, and where the real work begins.
