ARIS for SAP

SAP process design

Save time by re-using SAP processes models as a starting point for ongoing process management and optimization. ARIS Business Architect and Designer for SAP support both SAP and non-SAP modelers so that business and IT can work on common process models in one central repository.

A special wizard guides you through creating consistent SAP-based process models—ready for synchronization with SAP Solution Manager. ARIS Business Architect for SAP supports SAP-relevant concepts like “short-cuts” and attributes. This makes it easy to get started with SAP-compliant process modeling and ensures adherence to specific conventions.

Synchronization with SAP Solution Manager

Synchronizing ARIS Business Architect for SAP with SAP Solution Manager ensures you have all the necessary process information for your implementation or upgrade project. Scenarios, processes and process steps, along with the associated SAP transactions and SAP system landscape, can be imported into ARIS Business Architect for SAP from SAP Solution Manager. You can re-use the relevant organizational and master data, as well as all documentation in ARIS Business Architect for SAP.

Process content imported from SAP Solution Manager is transformed into complete end-to-end processes. You can enhance content related to configuration to include information, such as manual operations and their description, executing end-user roles, as well as data and information used.
