SAP Signavio

Mine the current process before the future state is designed

SAP Signavio mines event logs from SAP and non-SAP systems, models the to-be process, governs the change, and feeds the redesign with conformance evidence. The data layer that turns business cases from opinion into proof, before any GROW or RISE redesign begins.

Architecture

Four Signavio Modules Share One Process Source Of Truth

Signavio organises process intelligence into four modules that work as one product. Process Intelligence mines event logs. Process Manager governs the modelled to-be. Process Insights compares the two and surfaces continuous improvement. Process Governance handles the workflow around change. All four share the same process repository.

01 · Process Intelligence

Mining the process from real system data

Event logs from SAP and non-SAP systems are mined into a visual process model. Conformance scoring exposes deviations and rework loops. The mined process becomes the evidence layer for every redesign decision.

Event log mining Conformance Variant analysis
02 · Process Manager

Modelling and governing the to-be process

BPMN modelling, role-aware modelling, and process documentation in one workspace. Process Manager becomes the single source of truth for the to-be process across Cloud ERP, SuccessFactors, and Ariba.

BPMN 2.0 DMN Repository
03 · Process Insights

Continuous improvement on SAP Best Practices

Pre-built SAP Best Practices content compared against the mined process surfaces gaps automatically. Process Insights ships content packs for procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, and more.

Best Practices Benchmarks P2P / O2C / R2R
04 · Process Governance

Workflow around change requests and approvals

Process change requests run through governed workflow. Approvals, reviews, and publication carry an audit trail. Governance turns the process repository into a controlled artefact, not a wiki nobody trusts.

Approval flow Audit trail Publication

Shared substrate. All four modules share one process repository, one identity surface, and one collaboration hub. The mined process from Intelligence, the modelled to-be from Manager, the benchmarks from Insights, and the change trail from Governance all reference the same process IDs.

Adoption Journey

How Do Enterprises Activate Signavio?

Signavio activation is a sequenced engagement, not a tool install. Data must be extracted, event logs shaped, mining configured, and the to-be process modelled before the redesign can land. The four-step journey lines up data, mining, modelling, and governance into one programme.

01

Source system extraction and event log shaping

Event logs from ECC, S/4HANA, or non-SAP systems are extracted, shaped into the Signavio event schema, and loaded into Process Intelligence. The quality of the extract decides the quality of every later finding.

02

Mining setup and conformance scoring

Process discovery runs against the loaded logs. The mined process is compared with a reference model and conformance scoring surfaces deviation hotspots. The findings ground the business case for the redesign.

03

To-be modelling in Process manager

The mined process is published into Process Manager, where the to-be design is built on top. BPMN modelling, role design, and decision rules align Cloud ERP scope items with the operating model.

04

Governance activation and continuous mining

Process Governance is switched on to manage change requests. Process Intelligence keeps mining the live system, comparing against the published to-be, and feeding insight into the next quarterly Cloud ERP release.

Business Impact

Who Benefits From The Signavio Activation First?

Signavio mines event logs into a credible process model so redesign is grounded in evidence. Three benefits land first — evidence over opinion, SAP Best Practices benchmarks, and continuous mining after go-live.

Evidence

Process mining replaces workshop guesses

Event logs from SAP and non-SAP systems are mined into a visual process model. Conformance scoring exposes deviations and rework loops. The redesign decision is grounded in evidence, not opinion.

Continuous

Mining the live system after go-live

Process Intelligence keeps mining the live system, comparing against the published to-be, and feeding insight into the next quarterly Cloud ERP release. Process truth stays current.

Capabilities

Components Of SAP Signavio

Nine capabilities organised across four layers. Mining and analytics on the data side. Modelling and governance on the design side. Insights benchmarks the gap. Collaboration distributes the result. Every capability below ships as part of the SAP Signavio suite.

Mining

Process discovery from event logs

Event logs from SAP and non-SAP systems are mined into a visual process model. The discovered process replaces the assumption that the documented process and the operating process are the same.

Mining

Conformance and variant analysis

Conformance scoring quantifies the gap between mined and target processes. Variant analysis names the deviation paths that consume the most cycle time, the most rework, and the most cost.

Mining

Root-cause analysis

Filters, attribute correlation, and statistical analysis identify the drivers behind a deviation. Root-cause output is the input the redesign team uses to fix the source, not the symptom.

Modelling

BPMN and DMN modelling

BPMN 2.0 process modelling and DMN decision modelling in one workspace. Modelled processes carry role assignments, system interactions, and decision rules that flow into Cloud ALM as the implementation backlog.

Modelling

Repository and traceability

Every model carries a version, an owner, and a publication trail. The process repository becomes the audit-grade source of truth referenced by Cloud ERP scope items and SuccessFactors role design.

Insights

Best Practices content packs

SAP Best Practices content packs ship pre-built mining setups for procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, and more. Discovery starts on day one, not after a quarter of data engineering.

Insights

Benchmarks and KPIs

SAP-published benchmarks compare the mined process against industry medians. KPI dashboards quantify the improvement potential by process step, not by gut feel.

Governance

Change-request workflow

Process change requests run through governed approval, review, and publication. The change trail satisfies audit reviewers without requiring a separate spreadsheet to reconstruct.

Governance

Collaboration Hub

Published processes ship to the Signavio Collaboration Hub, where business users review and comment without modeller access. The hub keeps the process repository discoverable across the enterprise.

About BCS

The Agentic System Integrator Built For SAP

BCS is the world's first agentic system integrator. Twelve years of SAP delivery across 40+ enterprise programmes, paired with three proprietary platforms (Symphony, deKorvai, Anugal), make Signavio activation a continuous-operations event rather than a one-off project.

Senior SAP practitioners design the mining engagement. Symphony runs the activation. deKorvai keeps the upstream event data defensible. Anugal keeps the governed process repository compliant. The result is Signavio operating as evidence, not as an unread modelling tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Refer to this section for answers to frequently asked questions related to SAP Signavio licensing, mining setup, and integration with the rest of the toolchain.

What does SAP Signavio actually do?

SAP Signavio is the process intelligence suite. It mines event logs from SAP and non-SAP systems into a visual process model, lets users design the to-be process in BPMN, compares the two with SAP Best Practices content, and governs change requests through a workflow.

Is Signavio included in RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP?

Signavio process-mining content packs are included with RISE with SAP Premium Plus. GROW with SAP does not bundle the full Signavio suite by default. Signavio Process Insights is available as a separately-licensed add-on across both subscriptions, with content packs covering procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and record-to-report.

What data does Signavio need to start mining?

Signavio needs event logs from the source system, structured as case ID, activity, timestamp, and resource. Pre-built content packs ship with extractors for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and Cloud ERP, removing most of the data-engineering work for standard processes such as procure-to-pay and order-to-cash.

Can Signavio mine non-SAP systems?

Yes. Signavio mining is system-agnostic. Event logs from Salesforce, Workday, Oracle, or any custom application can be loaded into Process Intelligence, provided the case-activity-timestamp structure is honoured. Mixed-system processes are mined end-to-end without splitting the case ID.

How does Signavio integrate with Cloud ALM and the rest of the toolchain?

Signavio Process Manager publishes the to-be process into Cloud ALM as the implementation backlog. Mining findings from Process Intelligence feed quarterly Cloud ERP release planning. LeanIX consumes process owners and system touchpoints from the Signavio repository for architecture decisions.
