In the Design phase of a transformation project, SAP Signavio plays a central role in shaping how business processes are evaluated, redesigned, and aligned to organizational objectives.Value discoveryis one of the fundamental strategies used during this phase. It involves identifying improvement opportunities by analyzing existing processes, determining where inefficiencies occur, and uncovering areas where automation, optimization, or standardization can bring measurable business benefits. SAP Signavio provides process insights and performance indicators that support this discovery work.
Another essential strategy isinvolving stakeholders. Effective process transformation requires input from business users, process owners, managers, and IT teams to ensure that redesigned processes reflect operational realities and strategic priorities. Signavio's collaboration features-such as commenting, sharing models, and approving workflows-facilitate this engagement. Stakeholder involvement helps ensure alignment and increases adoption success after deployment.
Process performance benchmarkingis also a critical strategy. SAP Signavio allows organizations to compare their internal process performance with industry standards or peer benchmarks. This evaluation highlights underperforming areas and guides prioritization in the design phase. While collaborating with IT and best practice use are helpful activities, they are not formalized as the three primary strategies emphasized in the Signavio design methodology.

Joule Agents are SAP's intelligent automation components designed to perform multi-step business tasks across systems. They combine business context with AI-driven automation to execute complete end-to-end processes, such as handling finance approvals, supply chain workflows, or employee lifecycle tasks. They exceed simple chatbot functionality by coordinating actions across multiple applications. Their primary purpose is process orchestration within SAP's cloud ecosystem.
