Lessons from Panasonic: Building a Process Layer to Future‑Proof SAP S/4HANA
Webinar on-demand
Meet the Speakers
Panasonic transformed scattered, legacy approval flows into a unified, compliance‑ready experience by introducing a central process layer for orchestration and automation across SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and key surrounding systems. By standardizing on Camunda and open BPMN/DMN standards, the team decoupled workflow and decision logic from SAP, enabling faster SAP S/4HANA migrations, cleaner core systems, and consistent, JSox‑ready audit trails across regions and product lines.
In this SAPinsider webinar session, you will see how Panasonic designed and scaled this process layer to connect multiple SAP instances and third-party applications via APIs and OData services, allowing approvers to work from a single task experience instead of jumping between systems. The speakers walk through concrete SAP scenarios, such as sales-order and master-data approvals, showing how reusable BPMN models, DMN decision tables, and a custom task UI provide business and IT with a shared language for change, while preserving full transparency into every approval step.
Watch this webinar to:
– Discover how a Process Layer can speed up SAP S/4HANA projects by isolating approval logic from SAP customizations, reducing risk and technical debt.
– See practical, SAP-centric use cases where orchestrated workflows improve user experience, shorten cycle times, and strengthen compliance in a multi‑system landscape.
– Learn lessons from Panasonic’s journey to scaling hundreds of process types and hundreds of thousands of workflow instances, including what they would do again, and differently, on future SAP initiatives.
