Receive and present a clear picture of your process analysis to your business executives

Dear all,

We went into General Availability of SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition 3 weeks ago.

We are constantly improving our tool to optimize it and to bring the best version to you. As a result, we are happy to announce our updated PDF Executive Summary for SAP Process Insights, Discovery Edition, which is available for customer on demand.

For those of you, who don’t know the idea from the PDF summary from the now retired Process Discovery for SAP S/4HANA transformation or SAP Innovation and Optimization Pathfinder on Spotlight: it can be used as a support of discussion with stakeholders. It is especially handy when presenting to decision makers, who may not directly use the online solution.

Compared to extended PDF report, you know from Process Discovery and Pathfinder on Spotlight, this executive summary is a crisp document with less than 30 pages, focusing on the mapping of process performance indicators to the relevant SAP S/4HANA capabilities and the right next steps. Hence it is a short summary for every SAP stakeholder and customer, to outline the most valuable SAP S/4HANA recommendations to support the transformation story.

Passed the introduction page, you will find a “TOP Opportunities” page, showing you the 3 highest potential for process optimization, together with their related value driver, the estimated benefits (in monetary value) and the recommendations to achieve these benefits.

 

For each of these value drivers, we selected the indicator of performance with the highest potential for improvement. We mention what your current performance is (for automation rate, for example), and based on SAP experience and best practices, we define a goal -that is realistic and achievable-. How to achieve this goal? By starting a process improvement journey. And how to start this journey? By first implementing the carefully selected correction recommendations (linked on the top right of the page) and innovation recommendations (if you are on SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA capabilities will be shown, but if you are already live on SAP S/4HANA, we will provide a selection of innovation recommendations, such automation bots or AI).

And as you can see, we show in big blue the potential monetary value that could be realized by achieving the defined target.

This information is directly coming from the Value Analysis section of the SAP Signavio Process Insights, discovery edition.
You don't agree with our maths? Click on "Learn more >>" next to the monetary benefits and it will open the page dedicated to the indicator of performance where you will find our formula, insights coming from your system and SAP assumptions to complement the calculation. You can even amend SAP assumptions to reflect your specific case. Read this blog to know more about the Value Analysis.

The rest of the executive summary is much more familiar to the people, who already explored a Process Discovery analysis. I included a quick summary below as a refresher:

Indicators of performance are in the top area with the green background. These indicators are organized by value drivers (such as "Reduce Finance Costs") under specific Lines of business (here "Finance"). You will find the name of the indicator on which you can click to access the details online. in the coloured cell, you will find the value measured for the indicator. These cells come with different colours, we encourage to focus on the red and white cells in priority. Green means you are one of the leaders of the industry for this indicator. Yellow: you are in the average. And red highlight a potential of improvement. White means we do not have benchmarks yet for this indicators. We currently offer only benchmarks for automation rates. SAP Signavio is working on developing a solution to offer industry benchmarks, we will announce something later.

Recommendations for SAP S/4HANA capabilities are below in the blue area. You can click on them to get more information online. Please bear in mind that every click on this page will lead to online information, and not to a "Details" page within the PDF document. Hence we now speak about :Executive Summary" and not "Report: anymore.

You will find the list of every SAP S/4HANA recommendations for the related line of business after the "Line of Business Summary" page.

We completely redesigned the “Next Steps” section, leveraging the latest and greatest, such as the Plug and Gain approach -to guide you in your process transformation:

And the SAP Customer Evolution Kit for SAP S/4HANA - To assist you with your move to SAP S/4HANA:
