The SAP Signavio Process Explorer connects a company's processes with its IT architecture. In other words, it shows which technology best supports which process and how companies can use that technology.

According to SAP, the SAP Signavio Process Explorer provides companies with the "collective knowledge from thousands of transformation projects" that SAP or one of the numerous SAP partners have carried out in recent years.

  • Metrics that help companies optimize their processes, for example, by highlighting potential areas of improvement
