Process Mining Starter Package
Include Z-coding to lay the foundation for your process analysis.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence automatically reconstructs actual processes and highlights weak points by analyzing real process data from your IT systems. The tool recognizes deviations, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies, and supports data-based process improvements. This lays a solid foundation for your SAP S/4HANA transformation. With the abat Intelligence Extractor, analyzing customer-specific Z-coding and individual processes is considerably simpler and more systematic.
What are the advantages of Process Mining?
- Real-time transparency: A clear view of actual processes instead of theoretical models.
- Increased efficiency: Identification and elimination of bottlenecks, redundancies, and manual activities.
- Cost reduction: Optimization of resources and minimization of process costs through data-based measures.
- Compliance monitoring: Detecting deviations from regulatory requirements and internal guidelines.
- Faster decision-making: Well-founded, data-driven decisions through objective process analyses.
The Process Mining Starter Package from abat
- Get a quick overview of the possibilities that process mining offers your company based on your own data.
- Based on an initial end-to-end process, you will receive a foundation for subsequent process mining analyses, including your customer-specific processes.
This is how we proceed:
- We will reverse engineer a process model based on a system trace analysis of your SAP system.
- We will define our own KPIs or use standard KPIs to evaluate the selected process.
- The abat Intelligence Extractor analyzes Z-coding and individual processes.
We deliver these results:
- A Process Mining feasibility study for an end-to-end process, e.g. order-to-cash.
- Building a process data pipeline to serve as the foundation for your end-to-end processes.
- Process documentation based on BPMN2
In the next step you can start analyzing your process.
