On March 5, 2021, SAP acquired Signavio. Signavio’s products became part of SAP’s Business Process Intelligence and complement SAP’s holistic process transformation portfolio. This culminated in Signavio forming part of SAP’s Business Process Intelligence Unit which will help companies understand, improve, transform and manage their business processes at scale.
Signavio’s integrated cloud-native process management suite perfectly complements existing business process intelligence software from SAP. With the addition of Signavio, SAP can now provide a holistic suite of flexible process transformation solutions for customers to transform their business processes end to end.
That includes business process design, benchmarking, gap analysis, improvement and process change management. The suite will also allow customers to monitor the long-run success of these process changes.
This being said, Signavio is the “new kid on the block” and companies would want to benefit from the value it can bring to their organization, quickly and effectively.
In order to accomplish that, Solarch Consulting offers a SAP Enablement Program, which will enable Partners with the tools necessary to implement Signavio and enable their Clients to reap the full benefits and potential that the integrated solution has to offer.
Solarch Consulting will enable Partners through Training in all the modules of the Signavio Suite, guidance and assistance in Practice Establishment, Quality Assurance and Product Support.
