IDS Scheer’s process monitoring software supports SAP in streamlining purchasing processes

~ SAP wins IDS Scheer’s BPE Award at ARIS ProcessWorld 2008 for ARIS PPM implementation ~

September 18, 2008

SAP has won IDS Scheer’s BPE Award following its use of ARIS Process Performance Manager (ARIS PPM) to support best-in-class purchasing processes.

Having implemented ARIS PPM, SAP – the leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software to companies – has increased transparency over its own process execution.

Thanks to the process intelligence approach of ARIS PPM, cycle times and operating time of the purchasing organisation have become traceable, leading to measurable end-to-end processes.

Another related benefit is improved compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley legislations. With ARIS PPM, SAP can now easily monitor whether controls in the process are executed effectively on a global level.

Customer quote

“One of SAP’s mid-term strategic goals is operational excellence,” said Mark Scavillo, head of Process Governance in SAP's Business Process Organisation. “This requires all areas of the company to develop and implement processes that help make SAP a process-driven company.”

He added: “One of our main tasks is transparency and being able to measure our processes. We found ARIS PPM from IDS Scheer to be an ideal tool to do this for us.”
