How to improve SAP process awareness with Microsoft Visio?

Visualization of business processes in BPMN is among strongest features available in recent releases of SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and SAP Solution Manager. Graphical design of new processes and compact visual representation of existing processes significantly simplify user perception of all complexities behind versatile SAP system landscape.

However, direct access to these impressive architectural innovations still demand substantial experience in SAP, relevant education and skills. It might impact the speed and quality of workflow adoption across organizations implementing modern SAP solutions. On another hand, wide process awareness is known as a key factor of success in digital transformation of enterprises.

Microsoft Visio and SharePoint serve as an ideal platform to instantly boost process collaboration across an organization, evangelize benefits of process management to all users, radically decrease learning curves and instantly improve process efficiency due to amplified visual perception of corporate business models and behavioral patterns.

Enterprise Composer and Enterprise Explorer ensure smooth, elegant and affordable discovery, systematization, aggregation, publication and reporting on SAP business processes for organizations of any size in a familiar and widely spread environment of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visio and SharePoint, both on premise and in Microsoft Cloud.

Agile Processes and Customer Experience

Despite all fashionable favor, agile processes are a disaster in terms of customer outcomes . Imagine that you ordered a fridge but received a dishwasher instead. It is unlikely that you will be happy on this sort of creative agility. Customer process must be as precise and reliable as a Swiss clock. It is another story that customers always do their best to break this clock's precision in every possible and impossible manner: change their mind ten times a day, disappear at the moment of delivery, break supplied goods and claim a refund etc. And yet, customers highly appreciate flexibility of a company in response to their instant whims. We must not confuse agility of customers with precision of the company in response to agile client demands. Company can achieve accuracy and flexibility in serving clients only through rigorous process approach with detailed mapping of all possible client scenarios.

Difference between workflow and process

Workflow is an implementation of process. Process is a template defining structure, rules, objects and their relations in a business environment associated with certain business goal or case. Workflow is a concrete realization of process in given business context. In other words, process is a plan, while workflow is a sequence of business actions taken according to this plan. Process is an architectural project, while workflow is a building created on this architecture. Multiple buildings can be erected from the same architecture. Unlimited sequences of actions can run along the same plan. But the plan or architecture behind all these varieties of buildings and sequences is a common ground cementing their distinguished similarity as a family.
