“Using SAP Signavio solutions, we created capability
maps linked to process models and architectural
diagrams. This helped ensure a shared understanding
of the system’s structure, its inputs and outputs, and
how different components are connected.”

Increased
Process transparency and
reuse across business units
Before: Challenges and opportunities
• Unwritten institutional expertise creating onboarding delays and hiding inefficiencies across teams
• Fragmented global processes resulting in 31 redundant variants and regional customizations
• Entrenched cultural habits resisting change and making dense, inconsistent documentation
• Urgent need for a unified process foundation to boost visual clarity and cross-functional alignment
Why SAP
• SAP Signavio Process Modeler solution to centralize and visualize processes, transform undocumented
knowledge into reusable maps, drive global standardization, and align IT with business needs
• Various SAP Signavio solutions to apply process mining, simulation, and analytics that turn process
maps into actionable insights, fueling adoption, scalability, and continuous improvement
• ArchiMate modeling through SAP Signavio to document enterprise architectures in a standardized
playbook, linking diagrams with process maps and aligning business goals with system design
After: Value-driven results
• Cultural shift toward standardization, shared ownership, and greater openness to change
• Higher efficiency through faster implementations, streamlined onboarding, and fewer redundancies
• Expanding cross-functional community of modelers, champions, and collaborators
• Future-ready foundation for data-driven decision-making, enabled by process mining, simulation, and
continuous improvement
