Unlocking the Next Steps of SAP Signavio Process Insights, Discovery Edition

Dear Community,

In the journey of process transformation, businesses must navigate through data, decisions, and opportunities to achieve operational excellence. SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition, is often the first step toward uncovering the hidden potential within your enterpriseā€™s processes. But where do you go from here? Letā€™s explore the strategic next steps available, tailored to your organizational goals and transformation priorities.

First and foremost, what happened after the delivery of your analysis?

This is rather easy: Your SAP contact, who motivated you to request the analysis will come back to you and perform a read-out of your analysis. You will obviously have the opportunity to review and discuss the results as well as asking any questions you wish.
From there, the engagement will naturally evolve based on the purpose you wish to accomplish (why you order SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovey edition in the the first place).

If you ordered SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition without involving your SAP contact, an SAP stakeholder, named ā€œBusiness Development Representativeā€ will contact you to offer a readout. You can proactively contact Signavio-Discovery@sap.com to schedule the session.

But in essence, what are the potential logical next steps?
Letā€™s review them together:

1. Moving to SAP Signavio Process Insights (Full Edition)

The most natural progression from SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition is to upgrade to the full edition of SAP Signavio Process Insights. While the discovery edition provides a valuable snapshot of your processes, the full edition amplifies these capabilities by offering:

Continuous Monitoring: Ongoing updates, enabling proactive adjustmentsBroader Scope: Coverage of over 300 performance indicators and more than 100 process flowsDeeper Insights: Granular analysis with much more root cause identification and correction recommendations. It also provide more than80 Process Flows compared to only one for discovery edition.

This transition not only ensures that you maintain a pulse on your processes but also lays the foundation for sustained performance improvements.

It is also extremely valuable to assess your performance in details before to SAP S/4HANA and implement the right corrections before the move, such as archiving obsolete data.

Speaking about moving to SAP S/4HANAā€¦

2. Moving to SAP S/4HANA or Cloud

For businesses aiming to modernize their ERP environment, moving to SAP S/4HANA or the cloud offers a transformational opportunity. The discovery edition is instrumental in this shift, as it:

Identifies inefficiencies that can be addressed prior to migrationArchive, remove obsolete data and master/configuration dataValidates potential value-adds by simulating the impact of SAP S/4HANA innovations on your current processesHelps design optimal workflows that align with S/4HANAā€™s advanced capabilities.

Of course, SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition can provide much more information, but only by leveraging SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition, you can already identify quick-wins. You are then free to leverage the full version to analyze a broaders scope Ā or not.

If you decide to move forward with investigating the value and the prerequisites to move to SAP S/4HANA, what de we clearly recommend as a next step?
With the program SAP Customer Evolution Kit, you can transition to S/4HANA with a clear, actionable plan that leverages insights from your current state.
RISE With SAP is the agreement which supports your migration.

3. Deep Dive into Process Performance and Execution

If your immediate goal is to enhance process efficiency, consider leveraging the full suite of process analysis tools provided by SAP Signavio. I would just focus on 2 solutions, in my opinion, necessary for a move to SAP S/4HANA or any business operation modernization:

SAP Signavio Process Intelligence: the ā€œAs-isā€: Identify and analyze the process execution and how it impacts the process performance. This is a much more complete tool, allowing you to create your own dashboard/analysis with your own information. Last but not least, it is not SAP centric. You can start analyzing your various cases in the Lead-to-Cash process, starting on Salesforce, then moving to the finance areas in SAP ERP and the service/after-sales process areas on Servicenow in a seamless and coherent view.SAP Signavio Process Manager: theā€To-beā€: Complement the insights from Process Insights with detailed process modeling and simulate your future process compare to your ā€œAs-isā€.

If you have a SAP Signavio Process Insights tenant (discovery edition, but full edition would be far better), you can leverage the Plug and Gain Approach. With this approach -free of charge, but you need to have SAP Signavio solutions-, makes it extremely easy to connect SAP Signavio Process Insights to SAP Signavio Process Intelligence and get standard use cases and dashboards to start your process mining.

4. Human Resources Transformation

For organizations focusing on Human Resources, moving to an HR Cloud solution Ā such as SAP SucessFactors offers information about what HR areas are used (based on the transactional code usage) and deliver recommendations for SAP SuccessFactors or Concur capabilities. We also provide next steps, such as SAP Readiness Check for SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Customer Evolution Kit for HCM.

What about Business AI?

Your PDF Executive Summary provides actionable recommendations based on your specific system data. This is the perfect entry point to discover what AI capability would be the most valuable to you. And, if the related process performance includes the value analysis part, you could potentially derive monetary benefits from the process improvement generated by the implementation of an AI capacity.

As a next step for Business AI discovery, we would recommend you take advange of this learning. Of course, do not hesitate to involve your SAP contact to further discuss SAP Business AI and get a more personalized guidance.

Complementary Approaches: The Symbiosis of Strategies

The paths outlined above are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they can be sequenced or combined based on your strategic goals:

Before and After S/4HANA Migration: Use SAP Signavio Process Insights to clean up processes pre-migration and leverage it post-migration for continuous process optimization. The same can be said for deep analysis leveraged by the Plug & Gain approach (SAP Signavio Process Insights in conjunction with SAP Signavio Process Intelligence)Integration with Transformation Programs: The SAP Signavio Process Insights aligns seamlessly with tools like the SAP Customer Evolution Kit, enabling you to realize value quickly while reducing complexityNot every HR solutions needs will be satisfied by a move to SAP S/4HANA, so planning your move to SAP SuccessFactors in parallel to SAP S/4HANA for the remaining core functionalities is recommendedYou can already think of and investigate future innovations enabled by SAP S/4HANA, such as Business AI powered by the BTP.
