If you are serious about transformation, you need facts instead of gut feelings. Signavio delivers C-level transparency across end-to-end processes, makes bottlenecks measurable and translates optimizations into clear business impact. From modeling to implementation - in combination with SAP tools such as LeanIX and Cloud ALM - you can make better decisions faster, reduce risks and demonstrably accelerate your business transformation.
For C-Level, “business transformation” is not a buzzword, but the question of how quickly strategy can be turned into measurable results. This is exactly where Signavio comes in: The suite makes your end-to-end processes transparent, quantifies bottlenecks and provides a resilient basis for decision-making – from the initial idea to the sustainable rollout.

What is SAP Signavio - and why it is relevant
Signavio in SAP Business Transformation Management
Transformation is not a single event, but a repeatable, scalable process – Discover → Design → Simulate → Implement → Monitor. Signavio supports precisely this pattern and links it with enterprise architecture (e.g. via SAP LeanIX), project/lifecycle management (e.g. via SAP Cloud ALM) and reusable content. This creates a controllable unit from strategy, processes and IT – with a single source of truth for all stakeholders.

Signavio's core solutions at a glance
SAP Signavio combines three crucial dimensions for successful business transformation: The suite makes visible how processes actually run, enables the collaborative design of optimized workflows and ensures that compliance and governance are guaranteed at all times.
Specifically, IT systems continuously provide data on where orders get stuck, which approval loops take too long or where uncontrolled procurement undermines purchasing conditions. These findings are translated directly into actionable process models that teams can develop further together, regardless of location or department.
At the same time, every process step can be linked to compliance requirements, risks are made transparent and audits can be documented in a traceable manner at any time. In addition, Signavio bridges the gap between internal efficiency and customer experience: it becomes clear how operational processes influence the customer journey and which process optimizations have the greatest impact on customer satisfaction.
AI as an accelerator: Process AI - from insight to impact
With Process AI, Signavio takes mining and modeling to the next level: AI combines pattern recognition, context-based text-to-event mapping and sentiment analysis to not only indicate causes, but to explain them automatically. This reduces “time to insight”, prioritizes measures with the highest leverage and accelerates operational implementation – from lead-to-cash to the source-to-pay process.

Interaction with LeanIX and Cloud ALM
Signavio makes processes transparent, SAP LeanIX makes the IT landscape tangible (dependencies, risks, lifecycles), SAP Cloud ALM provides planning, execution and monitoring. The interaction makes it possible:
Shared view of processes, applications and data flows – decision templates instead of gut feeling.
Scenario analysesWhat happens if we replace system X? – including impact on processes, teams and KPIs.
Continuous controlAdapt roadmaps, track progress, address risks – without tool breaks.
Use cases from practice
Lead-to-Cash
Increase the degree of automation, shorten quotation/order cycles, reduce DSO – with root cause analyses on event graphs instead of manual data rotation.
Source-to-Pay
Reduce maverick buying, reduce cycle times in purchasing, increase spend compliance – supported by preconfigured dashboards & recommendations.
Make-to-order
Identify bottlenecks between planning, production and delivery; make variant flows and rework visible; automate in a targeted manner.
Our conclusion
From our point of view SAP Signavio is the most effective lever for closing the gap between strategy and operational reality. We make your processes visible, link them to reliable key figures, anchor governance and prioritize measures according to business impact.
Together with SAP LeanIX and SAP Cloud ALM we create true end-to-end capability: transformation becomes plannable, controllable – and measurably successful. For the C-level, this means faster, well-founded decisions, lower risks and noticeably faster results.
