As the business landscapes have grown more complex, Process Discovery technology is increasingly recognised as a pivotal enabler and accelerator in ERP business transformations.
Here’s how leaders can expect to leverage its potential in ERP programs:
- Faster Process Facts: By generating data-driven blueprints of top process variants, Process Discovery significantly reduces the time and effort needed in extensive as-is process workshops.
- Insightful Operational Analysis: Process Discovery provides in-depth understanding of current processes, pinpointing inefficient habits and their underlying root causes. This level of insight paves the way for cross-functional operational excellence while transforming off from the legacy ERP into the new ERP.
- Improved Data Quality: Data quality and process excellence go hand-in-hand. Improved data quality in legacy landscape leads to higher information quality in the new ERP landscape. This leads to more reliable reporting and happier ERP users after go-live.
- Best-Practice Alignment: Align current as-is processes with ERP's best-practice industry standards to ensure a seamless transition and sustainable new ways of working. This comparative analysis aids Business, IT, and the System Integrator(s) in reaching a consensus on the most effective solutions for development and deployment*.
- Test Case Coverage: Process Discovery supports testing by validating that test cases adequately cover business critical parts of the ERP. Process Discovery can also support automation of test case execution.
- Go-Live KPI Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of business KPIs accelerates the realisation of intended benefits, such as improved On-Time Delivery (OTD), reduced inventories, enhanced accuracy of first-time correct processes etc.
- Business Benefits Realisation: Process Discovery tool provides indisputable operational facts of what happens - or does not happen - inside the new ERP. Business case materialisation can be monitored fact-based in real-time. The explanation of Process Discovery, and instructions for value creation can be read here:
Process Discovery is a great asset preparing legacy ERP landscape for change, and to accelerate the aimed business transformation.
*Note: Process Discovery analysis and design phase acceleration support better Green Field -ERP transformation, than Brown Field ERP -approach.

8 个月There is one more aspect that I would like to add and I'm quite enthusiastic about, and should be or can be beneficial to take into consideration upon taking the ERP business transformation journey - DPP - digital product passport. There are still plenty of open questions to the practice, however, building up digital transparency into the E2E or cradle-to-grave product processes is a must. Also, to build up interfaces with the tiers of partners that enables the visibility through out the supply chain. And, more over, not just for the benefit of product pass and traceability, the opportunity to build up the better understanding on what happens to the product as their lifecycle of the initial use is coming to an end, what happens next? E.g., are there opportunities in co-operation with other companies, in terms of material / product waste being a raw material to another company or industry? And if so, traceability into the initial data - what the product is made off - are at value. https://hadea.ec.europa.eu/calls-proposals/digital-product-passport_en

9 个月Thank's petri, an excellent point of view to highlight! This time I disagree with you only on one small point... (this was a joke, mostly I don't need to disagree), this: You wrote: "Align current as-is processes with ERP's best-practice industry standards to ensure a seamless transition and sustainable new ways of working." It has the word Seamless in the wrong place. Change to the better even SHOULD be made visible and not hidden in the reports, and we still have to remember to even celebrate vigorously when the job is done ??!. Ok ok, this was a deliberate bringing up of small details, but what do you do, if there are no big flaws in the story, let's dig for commas... ?? !

9 个月Thanks Petri for bringing up the role of systematic data-centric process discovery in an ERP transformation. It is something that too rarely gets done, although its value is pretty undeniable.
