SAP Signavio

Business process optimisation made easy
Knowledge of company-specific processes is the cornerstone for making entrepreneurial changes, recognising potential and implementing optimisations quickly. That is why it is so important to pay sufficient attention to this aspect. With the help of SAP Signavio, we are starting with this cornerstone and optimizing our approach to process modeling - an optimization that has an impact on the entire corporate construct.
What is SAP Signavio?
SAP Signavio is a web-based modeling tool that was acquired by SAP in 2021. It is used to create transparency and identify potential through process analyses, decision-making logic, process comparisons and clearly structured workflows. This allows business changes to be quickly identified and addressed. SAP Signavio covers all phases of process design within a company and thus promotes comprehensive process optimization.
The variety of SAP Signavio
SAP Signavio consists of several products, all of which are aimed at optimizing business processes. Below we present three of the many available components:
- SAP Signavio Process Manager: This is where process flows are created, edited, tested, simulated and compared. In addition, relevant documentation and reports such as cost calculations or resource requirement planning can be created.
- SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub: This tool promotes exchange and collaboration through shared access to all processes. It is connected to other SAP Signavio products and enables cross-product exchange.
- SAP Signavio Process Governance: This is where tasks are assigned, automated task lists are created and general process controls are carried out.
The interaction of these products enables comprehensive process optimization within individual company divisions and beyond.
Advantages of the SAP Signavio Process Manager
The SAP Signavio Process Manager offers numerous advantages:
- Clear modeling: Thanks to clear structuring through pools and lanes, responsibilities and task areas can be clearly assigned.
- Fast creation of process flows: With the “QuickModel” function, a rough process flow can be recorded in writing and automatically converted to BPMN2.0. This basic structure can then be further edited and supplemented.
- Intuitive operation: The tool is user-friendly and flexible, which leads to considerable time savings.

Your benefits
Our customers benefit from the time saved and the structured presentation of processes. The time saved can be reinvested directly in the exchange with our customers and the associated content. In addition, SAP Signavio enables a holistic view of the company, so that changes and insights can be made across departments and in a short space of time. This leads to rapid implementation and adjustments, regardless of how customer-specific and complex the processes are.
Our experience
We have already successfully used SAP Signavio in several customer projects and have received positive feedback. The visualization of processes using SAP Signavio helps everyone involved to maintain an overview. It often serves as a common thread for the project flow and the initiation of next steps. Misunderstandings can be quickly uncovered and clarified, which contributes to efficient project work.
Our conclusion
SAP Signavio's process flows not only offer great benefits in terms of content, but also bring a great deal of structure and clarity to the organizational side of planning. They become the core element of every project and are almost indispensable.
