Most SAP transformations are designed against the process a company believes it runs
The one it actually runs lives in the system logs — in the reworked orders, the manual workarounds, the approval steps nobody can explain. SAP Signavio closes that gap. It mines your live SAP and non-SAP data to show how work really flows, models the process you want instead, and measures whether the change stuck.
Altivate, an SAP Gold Partner, uses SAP Signavio as the evidence layer underneath transformation.
Your move to SAP S/4HANA is designed on facts rather than assumptions.

Why process transformation comes before the ERP project
The single most expensive mistake in an S/4HANA programme is carrying old process debt into a new system.
Every undocumented workaround becomes a custom development; every unexamined exception becomes a change request; and the clean core you were promised quietly fills up with the same complexity you meant to leave behind. Process mining inverts that order. You discover the real process first, decide deliberately what to standardise and what genuinely differentiates you, and only then configure — which is exactly the fit-to-standard discipline that RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP are built around.
You may already own it.
SAP Signavio Process Insights is typically included in RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP contracts, and in many direct SAP cloud purchases. A large number of organisations hold an entitlement they have never switched on. Before you buy anything, it is worth checking what your existing agreement already covers — we do that check for free.
The return is not theoretical. Knowing where a process breaks tells you where automation pays back, which SAP best practice you can adopt unchanged, and which of your custom objects nobody has actually executed in eighteen months. That is the difference between a migration that reduces cost and one that merely relocates it.
The SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite
SAP Signavio is not a single tool but a connected suite — discovery, design, collaboration, governance and measurement in one loop. Altivate implements the components you need, in the order that earns value fastest.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence
Process mining on your real event data. Reconstructs how orders, invoices and cases actually flowed — every variant, every loop, every delay — so bottlenecks stop being anecdotes and become measurements.
SAP Signavio Process Insights
A fast read on your SAP system without a full mining project. Pre-built process indicators and improvement recommendations straight from your ERP — the quickest way to a defensible baseline before a transformation.
SAP Signavio Process Modeler
Design the target process in BPMN, against SAP best practice. One modelling environment your business analysts, process owners and SAP consultants all work in — so the design that gets built is the design that was agreed.
SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub
One place the whole organisation can see how work is meant to be done. Process documentation that people actually read and comment on, instead of a slide deck last opened at go-live.
SAP Signavio Process Governance
Turn approved processes into governed workflows with clear ownership, review cycles and audit trails — so compliance is a property of how you work, not a document you assemble before an audit.
SAP Signavio Journey Modeler
See the process from the outside in. Map what the customer or employee actually experiences against what your systems are doing — and fix the steps where the two diverge.
AI-assisted process transformation with SAP Business AI
Process mining used to demand a specialist. That is changing fast. Under SAP Business AI, Joule is now embedded in SAP Signavio, bringing a growing library of skills to process work — so a process owner can ask a question in plain language instead of learning a query syntax. SAP has followed it with Joule Agents for Signavio, introduced in beta, covering onboarding, user experience, process content recommendations, dashboard and SIGNAL query interpretation, and translating a business problem into a concrete process use case.
Alongside them, SAP is rolling out a new generation of Process Intelligence through 2026 — including Process Networks and Process Atoms — aimed at making advanced mining usable by people who are not analysts, and at moving the output from “here is an insight” to “here is the next best action”. The practical effect is that process improvement stops being a project a consultancy runs once and becomes something your own team does continuously. As an SAP Gold Partner certified to ISO 27001, Altivate helps you adopt these capabilities with governance in place from the start.
How Altivate runs a Signavio engagement
Software alone does not transform a process. Our starter-pack methodology takes you from an unexamined estate to a governed, measured process practice — and doubles as the design phase of an S/4HANA move.
Discover the real process
We connect Signavio to your live systems and establish a factual baseline — cycle times, variants, rework, automation rate. No workshops guessing at how things work.
Fit-to-standard
We compare your baseline against SAP best practice for your industry, so every gap is a deliberate decision: adopt the standard, or justify the difference as real differentiation.
Model the target & build buy-in
Future-state processes are modelled with your team and published to the Collaboration Hub — one source of truth that stakeholders can see, challenge and commit to before build starts.
Monitor & keep improving
After go-live, continuous process monitoring shows whether the design held in practice — and where the next increment of value is. Improvement becomes routine, not a follow-up project.
Proven SAP delivery
SAP Gold Partner, ranked by SAP as an Expert in S/4HANA Cloud and SuccessFactors, and certified to ISO 27001 for information security — governance you can audit.
Process discovery, ERP implementation and application management — one team from baseline to run. SAP delivery across manufacturing, chemicals, pharma, consumer goods and distribution, where process complexity is real.
Process mining is not a standalone practice for us. We implement, integrate and run the SAP core that Signavio measures — so when the data shows a bottleneck, the same team can tell you what it would take to fix it in the system itself.

If you are scoping an S/4HANA move, wrestling with custom code you cannot justify, or simply cannot get two departments to agree on how a process works — start with the evidence. A short Signavio-based baseline usually settles the argument faster than another workshop.
