Companies still using SAP ECC and considering a move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, or those already in transition, must ensure that the investment generates long-term value, and that the transformation is fast, and manageable. Anybusiness transformation significantly impacts an organization’s value chain; therefore, it is crucial to take a consistent and continuous approach that integrates people, processes, and technology.

However, organizations frequently struggle with ensuring that their transformation endeavors deliver value promptly and are easily manageable. This was one of the core questions that Qorvo, a supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions wrestled with. With the high-tech sector expanding rapidly in domains like biomedical applications, semiconductor capacity, and highly sensitive touch systems for remote-access technology, Qorvo was looking for a business process transformation strategy that aligned with their objective of becoming entirely digital.

However, Qorvo struggled with manual processes of investigating and reporting and challenges with understanding the interlinkages among business departments. Additionally, textual and unshared process documentation, operational divisions, and limited process transparency also resulted in process concerns and blockages not being identified in time.

But achieving a successful transformation involves translating the business strategy into a set of well-defined processes. Thus, it is imperative to leverage technology and automation capabilities during implementation to ensure process success. Once the new processes are defined and laid out and business users are trained to utilize them, it is time to assess the outcomes of the changes. Process performance must be analyzed to identify areas where incremental and ongoing enhancements can be made, refining outcomes and better aligning with business needs. Finally, processes must be adapted as the business strategy evolves to meet the demands of customers, supply chains, employees, and other factors.

Managing transition and realizing value with SAP Signavio

Qorvo used SAP Signavio Process Manager and SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub to document and model business processes in a standardized manner which enhanced collaboration across the business processes. In addition, the organization used SAP Signavio Process Intelligence solution to compare process flows across different business units and geographic areas, which enabled identification of opportunities for optimization. These solutions also offered the advantage of pre-existing best practices that were used immediately, while still allowing for customization and expansion. Qorvo used process mining to unlock the value hidden in the company’s process models, and drive digitalization.

SAP Signavio, a holistic process management platform, enabled Qorvo to enhance and refine their business processes and achieve a continuous cycle of process transformation. The platform offered a range of tools that supported the process transformation journey and included analysis, execution, and a transformation approach that prioritized Qorvo’s people and collaboration.

Quorvo achieved value-focused outcomes by comparing processes across different geographical locations, recognizing the most effective practices, and subsequently implementing the changes throughout the business. By automating various systems and processes, significant cost and time savings were achieved, and employees were able to focus on more people-oriented tasks that contributed to the company’s overall success. Additionally, clear process models were established to enable a detailed exploration of process operations to identify and address bottlenecks and other problems associated with the company’s process structure.
