Applying SAP Business Transformation Solutions to End-to-End Processes

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify how SAP Business Transformation Management solutions connect to end-to-end business processes.

Managing Process, Applications, and Digital Change

All three SAP Business Transformation Management solutions (SAP LeanIX, SAP Signavio and WalkMe) have been acquired by SAP as independent software vendors. While all three solutions support businesses in transforming, they all target different dimensions of transformation.

Process Transformation

It is important to highlight that SAP Business Transformation Management solutions support any process and any application across organizations of any size and any industry. Looking at the solutions individually, we can identify different focus areas.

Manage Processes with SAP Signavio

SAP Signavio is a holistic, cloud-based Business Process Management solution which allows companies to analyze and manage all processes across the entire organization. One could say that "Manage Processes" would be the best fit for an end-to-end process that SAP Signavio mainly supports. However, being a Business Process Management solution, SAP Signavio supports management of all processes in companies of any size and any industry.

The more repetitive a process is, the greater the value in analyzing and managing it. Areas such as procurement and finance are prime examples where Business Process Management solutions like SAP Signavio can add significant value. By streamlining and automating these routine tasks, SAP Signavio enhances efficiency while reducing manual errors.

Manage Enterprise Architecture with SAP LeanIX

SAP LeanIX is a cloud-based Enterprise Architecture Management solution allowing companies to manage their IT landscapes holistically. The end-to-end process which SAP LeanIX best supports is "Manage Applications". SAP LeanIX supports enterprise architecture management across companies of any size and in any industry.

Manage Digital Change with WalkMe

WalkMe is a Digital Adoption Platform that supports end users' successful navigation of digital change in any system or application. The end-to-end process to which WalkMe could best be allocated to is "Manage Change" or "Manage Digital Adoption".
