Holistic Process Optimization with the SAP Integrated Toolchain

We analyze and optimize your business processes holistically, taking equal account of your IT landscape and enterprise architecture. Through the targeted use of our SAP Integrated Toolchain – with LeanIX, SAP Signavio, and SAP Cloud ALM – we create end-to-end transparency across processes, applications, and dependencies.

In this way, we reduce redundancies, improve manageability, and ensure the long-term sustainability of your entire value chain. 

Why do so many SAP transformation projects fail?

Most SAP transformation projects do not fail because of the technology. They fail because no one really knows what is in place – which systems are running, which processes are actually being used, and where the dependencies lie. Companies that lack this knowledge plan based on assumptions rather than facts. Historically evolved structures, isolated tools, and a lack of transparency also make it difficult to make informed decisions and drive transformations forward at the necessary pace. 

One Methodology | One Process | One Integrated Toolchain

The SAP Integrated Toolchain provides a solution precisely here: As the official framework within RISE with SAP, it combines enterprise architecture management, process optimization, and application lifecycle management into a holistic approach.

With abat, you have an partner who is familiar with all three products and works with you to analyze how they can be optimally deployed for your needs.
