Widget Creation Template

SAP Signavio has introduced a new widget creation and configuration experience designed to simplify and enhance the process of building and customizing widgets within the platform.

Key Features of the New Widget Creation Template

  • Visual and Simplified Interface: The updated interface offers a more visual approach, making it easier for users to create and configure widgets without extensive technical knowledge.​
  • Streamlined Configuration: Users can quickly set up widgets by selecting from various types, such as charts, tables, or process-related widgets, and customize them to display specific data insights.
  • Enhanced Data Interaction: The new experience allows for more intuitive interaction with data, enabling users to drag and drop data attributes and metrics into the widget configuration, facilitating a more efficient analysis process.

How to Access This

Navigate to your dashboard in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence. Here, you can initiate the widget creation and see the new options and UI. Watch the video below to learn more!

Understand the Automated Root Cause Analysis

Automated root cause analysis provides instant insights into key drivers for the Supplier Payment from Purchasing process. This functionality enables organizations to swiftly identify and address inefficiencies, leading to improved procurement operations.

Key Aspects

  • Process Visibility: This provides a high-level overview of the Invoice to Pay process, highlighting essential Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and analyses to pinpoint areas requiring further investigation.
  • Automation Analysis: It assesses the degree of automation within standard Invoice to Pay processes, helping identify opportunities for increased automation.
  • Cycle Time Evaluation: It evaluates end-to-end cycle times and specific subprocess durations to detect bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
  • Payment Behavior Insights:It offers detailed insights into vendor payment processes, including late payments, early payments, and cash discount analyses, facilitating improved financial management.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Decision-Making: By identifying root causes of delays and inefficiencies, organizations can implement targeted improvements, leading to more efficient procurement cycles.
  • Improved Supplier Relationships: Timely payments and streamlined processes contribute to stronger partnerships with suppliers.
  • Cost Reduction: Addressing inefficiencies can lead to cost savings through reduced late fees and optimized cash flow management.

Articulate Value Feature

The Articulate Value feature in SAP Signavio is designed to help businesses quantify the monetary impact of process inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. Essentially, it translates discovered data points into financial insights, allowing organizations to make data-driven decisions with a clear business case.

How This Works

Identifies Process Inefficiencies

  • SAP Signavio analyzes business processes (e.g., procurement, supplier payments, order fulfillment).
  • It detects bottlenecks, automation gaps, or inefficiencies that affect cost, time, and revenue.

Quantifies the Financial Impact

  • It assigns a monetary value to inefficiencies.
  • For example, if late supplier payments cause penalties, the feature estimates how much money is lost.
  • If automation in invoice processing can speed up approvals, it calculates potential cost savings.

Provides Clear Business Cases for Action

  • The system generates financial estimates based on key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Organizations can prioritize high-value process improvements and justify investments in automation.

Example Use Cases:

  • Supplier Payment Delays:Identifies how much money is lost due to late payments and suggests process changes.
  • Order Processing Delays: Calculates lost revenue due to slow order fulfillment and recommends automation.
  • Invoice Processing Inefficiencies:Estimates cost savings if manual steps are replaced with automated workflows.
  • Customer Service Bottlenecks: Shows how reducing response time can improve revenue and customer retention.

How to Access This Feature:

  1. Log in to SAP Signavio Process Intelligence
  2. Navigate to "Articulate Value" under process analysis tools.
  3. Select a process to analyze (e.g., invoice processing, procurement, order fulfillment).
  4. Review the estimated monetary impact of inefficiencies.
  5. Download insights and share them with finance or operations teams.

Improved UX for Data Pipelines

We have enhanced our user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) feature to simplify and accelerate how organizations detect, manage, and resolve issues in data pipelines before processing begins. It ultimately leads to faster insights and more reliable data processing in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence.

Key Improvements

Enhanced User Experience

  • Provides a more intuitive and visually guided data pipeline setup and troubleshooting experience.
  • Reduces complexity for users when managing data ingestion, transformation, and processing workflows.

Improved User Interface

  • Modernized UI with clearer navigation, error indicators, and interactive elements.
  • Offers a step-by-step approach to configuring and monitoring data pipelines.

Automates Issue Detection & Resolution

  • Identifies data errors, missing values, or inconsistencies before they impact analysis.
  • Suggests recommended fixes to improve data quality before insights are generated.

Speeds Up Data Processing & Insights

  • Ensures clean, structured data enters the pipeline, reducing manual intervention.
  • Leads to faster analysis and more accurate dashboards.

How This Works

  1. Set up a Data Pipeline:create or select an existing data pipeline for a specific process (e.g., purchase orders, supplier payments, invoice processing). The improved UI guides them through data source selection, transformation rules, and validation checks.
  2. Automated Data Validation & Error Detection
    • The system automatically scans incoming data for formatting issues, missing values, and inconsistencies.
    • Alerts appear in real time, showing where potential problems exist.
  3. Recommended Fixes & Pre-Processing Adjustments
    • Users receive actionable recommendations to fix detected errors before data is processed.
    • The system can automatically correct common errors or flag issues for review.
  4. Faster & Cleaner Data Processing
    • Once validated, the refined data flows seamlessly into SAP Signavio Process Intelligence dashboards, ensuring more accurate and meaningful insights.

Example Use Case:

A procurement team uses SAP Signavio to analyze supplier payments. Previously, data pipelines contained missing supplier IDs, causing errors in dashboards. With the new UX/UI improvements, the system detects the missing data before processing, suggests corrections, and ensures clean data enters the pipeline—leading to faster and more accurate financial insights.

How to Access This Feature:

  1. Go to SAP Signavio Process Intelligence
  2. Navigate to "Data Pipelines"
  3. Use the enhanced UI to set up, validate, and process data sources
  4. Monitor for alerts and apply recommended fixers before processing
