Core IBM BPM for SAP Capabilities
Apply the right mix of process innovation capabilities based on:– Process characteristics– The level of optimization desired– Current process innovation maturity
Business Optimization Potential
Reduce blueprinting time, cost and risk
Improve process reliability, flexibility, visibility and control
Improve process efficiency and reduce business
complexity
Iterative Business
Blueprinting
Process Integration and Orchestration
Process Automation
Process Discovery and
Monitoring
Decision Automation
Guided Workflow
Mine SAP Business Events to discover actual processes and act in real time to business challenges
Use an iterative, experiential-based approach to accelerate traditional SAP blueprinting with SAP Solution Manager
Interactively guide end users through SAP screens to improve productivity, visibility and consistency
Optimize process steps to improve cycle time, manageability and visibility of key processes
Dramatically reduce the cycle time of high volume processes by reducing/removing human interaction
Automate complex decision making to reduce bottlenecks and improve business outcomes
Innovation Transformation

IBM BPM Integration with SAP Solution ManagerBENEFITSScenario 1 – New SAP Implementation (Top-down) IBM BPM helps achieve ‘Process-driven SAP’ for closer alignment between
‘business strategy’, ‘business processes’ and ‘SAP configuration of transactions flow’
– Collaborative modeling of business blueprint using IBM BPM modeling tools (Process Designer, Blueworks Live) to create business models, simulate, analyze and optimize for ‘right business fit’
– Synchronize business processes created in IBM BPM with SAP Solution Manager to ‘drive’ SAP modules configuration.
– Enables to turn business strategy into ‘executable’ processes that drive SAP transactions flows
– SAP Solution Manager users can subsequently access, add, and customize business blueprints and synchronize back with ‘Process models’ in IBM BPM
Consistent, Optimized execution of SAP via processes for – achieve ‘Global Process Template’ for standardized SAP implementation across the
enterprise– increased productivity, lower TCO & improved ROI (through reduced SAP customization
and faster response to business change requests)– business and regulatory compliance via process and business policy / rules– real-time visibility to manage business and respond to changes quickly and consistently

IBM BPM Integration with SAP Solution ManagerBENEFITSScenario 2 – Existing SAP system / Upgrade (Bottom-up) IBM BPM helps leverage business blueprints in SAP SolMan to generate process
models to achieve ‘Process-driven SAP’– Synchronize business blueprint created in SAP Solution Manager with IBM BPM Process
Repository to generate process models and analyze, optimize collaboratively for ‘right business fit’
– Business users can use either IBM BPM or SAP SolMan subsequently to update process models ot business blueprints and keep them synchronized
– Helps use processes ‘drive’ SAP transaction flows using rules and process logic to meet different business requirements for closer alignment between ‘business strategy’, ‘business processes’ and ‘SAP configuration of transactions flow’
Consistent, Optimized execution of SAP via processes for – achieve ‘Global Process Template’ for standardized SAP implementation across the
enterprise– increased productivity, lower TCO & improved ROI (through reduced SAP customization
and faster response to business change requests)– business and regulatory compliance via process and business policy / rules– real-time visibility to manage business and respond to changes quickly and consistently
