Frequently asked questions

Business transformation management refers to the discipline of guiding and coordinating the changes an organisation needs to improve performance, adapt to new conditions, and realise strategic goals. It brings together insights across people, processes, applications, data so companies can understand their current state, plan their future state, and execute transformation in a structured, repeatable way.

SAP offers a Business Transformation Management portfolio of solutions that includes SAP LeanIX, SAP Signavio, and WalkMe. Together, these offerings focus on helping companies develop a scalable, always-on business transformation capability rather than treating transformation as a one-time project.

 

Research shows most organisations undergo several transformations a year, each affecting processes, applications, data, and people. Business Transformation Management solutions from SAP not only reveal how processes, applications, data, and people work today—they also help companies act on those insights by rationalizing their IT landscape, redesigning and implementing processes, and guiding employees through change.

Any industry can benefit from business transformation management tools because every organisation relies on technology and processes that people must use effectively. When changes occur, employees need support, and interdependencies across systems and workflows must be understood to avoid disruptions. Organisations with more complex processes or broader technology landscapes often see the greatest impact, but companies of all types can benefit.

Pricing varies by solution. SAP LeanIX and SAP Signavio are bundled with certain SAP Cloud ERP Private packages, while SAP LeanIX uses a pricing model based on the number of applications managed rather than per-user seats. Other business transformation management solutions follow their own licensing approaches. Your SAP representative can help you determine the right combination for your needs.

Yes. Business Transformation Management solutions from SAP work together as part of an integrated toolchain to support a proven methodology for ERP transformation. These tools enable organisations to understand their current processes and systems, identify improvement opportunities, plan the transition, and guide employees as they adopt new workflows—helping to reduce risk and improve the effectiveness of the overall transformation.

No. Solutions in the Business Transformation Management portfolio work across both SAP and non-SAP systems. These solutions help organisations understand dependencies, improve processes, and support user adoption regardless of the technology in place. For SAP customers, these solutions often provide deeper visibility because of their native integration with SAP applications.

Many organisations begin by documenting their enterprise architecture or analysing their business processes. Understanding the current IT landscape helps uncover cost savings and improvement opportunities, while process mining and analysis can reveal quick wins in performance.  Starting in either area lays the groundwork and builds momentum for broader transformations in the future.
