2 SAP Brief Continuously improve your business process efficiency Enterprise business processes are designed to support your operations. But it s not always easy to understand how well these processes are really performing or where they need improvement. To identify process weaknesses, compliance deviations, and opportunities for optimization, business process owners need complete transparency into how processes are executed. Continuously improve your business process efficiency To measure the efficiency and conformance of business processes, you need to be able to objectively assess how well they execute. By using, you can identify all process variants and bottlenecks that may increase costs or lead to compliance problems. SAP Process Mining software by Celonis, powered by SAP HANA, helps you visualize and understand the operative processes running within your SAP solutions and third-party applications. The processmining software distills large volumes of data about business process execution into intuitive graphical representations. You get a clear picture of how tasks are being performed, how well they run, and where they consume the most manual effort. You can understand how things work and where to remediate inefficient, cost-intensive, and noncompliant processes. By enabling complete transparency into as-is processes, the software helps you increase efficiency and enable data-based continuous. 2 / 9

3 SAP Brief To help you gain a holistic, end-to-end view of your as-is processes, SAP Process Mining uses sophisticated Big Data analytics algorithms. These algorithms help you extract, reconstruct, and visualize process-related data in the SAP and thirdparty applications that support your value chain. Every interaction with a business application leaves a digital footprint, known as an event log. SAP Process Mining extracts these event logs and transforms them into a compelling visualization that shows precisely how processes were executed. This view makes it simple to see each activity across every process variant. Using the underlying SAP HANA platform, SAP Process Mining can provide powerful data-based insights. Process owners and business analysts can quickly identify the root cause of problems, spot opportunities for automation, and detect noncompliance and potentially fraudulent behaviors. With this software, you gain enhanced insight that helps you explore and analyze process performance. Get a reality check on your processes with SAP Process Mining. 3 / 9

4 SAP Brief SAP Process Mining offers intuitive, graphical visual representations of your enterprise business processes. Data-based process discovery represents your business transactions as a process diagram, presenting users with complete transparency into business processes. The software automatically identifies and groups cases that follow the same execution path into variants to help users spot process deviations and inefficient loops. The diagrams and charts are annotated with key performance indicators offering details about cycle times and bottlenecks. Users can drill down on specific process steps or single process instances to identify the root cause of deviations and process inefficiencies. Because SAP Process Mining accesses raw data from the source systems, users can choose any level of data aggregation. Get a complete picture of operational processes with an intuitive graphical user interface. 4 / 9

5 SAP Brief By providing holistic, end-to-end transparency into as-is processes, SAP Process Mining helps you stimulate data-based continuous process improvement. Understanding variations in how processes are executed can help you: Discover inefficiencies, process deviations, or errors that bloat the process, increase cycle times, or impact operational costs Identify compliance issues such as missing approval steps and unjustified price changes Pinpoint manual process steps that would benefit from digitalization or automation Perform benchmarking and conformance monitoring to identify differences from the designed process Highlight best practices that should be standardized across business units In addition, you can use the insight offered by SAP Process Mining to facilitate upgrades, consolidation, mergers and acquisitions, and outsourcing projects. SAP Process Mining can also help improve many types of processes, including: Purchase to pay Order to cash Accounts payable and accounts receivable Make to stock and make to order Master data management Discover the truth about your operational processes with insight enabled by SAP Process Mining. 5 / 9
