SIGNAVIO —- How I started learning Signavio after 15 years in SAP 🔍 When you’ve seen SAP evolve from 4.6 to ECC to S/4HANA, you develop an eye for patterns… and a nose for what’s coming next. Now? It’s Signavio. And I’ve just begun diving into it. But first—let’s simplify this: ⸻ 🔍 WHAT is Signavio? A Business Process Management (BPM) tool by SAP that helps visualize, analyze, and optimize business processes collaboratively. ⸻ 💡 WHY Signavio? Because process understanding is no longer optional. SAP S/4HANA transformations need clarity in how business truly runs. Signavio helps bridge that IT–Business gap like never before. ⸻ 👥 WHO uses it? • Process architects • SAP functional consultants • Business stakeholders • Project managers Basically anyone responsible for making processes better. ⸻ 🕰️ WHEN should you use Signavio? • Before S/4HANA transformation • During fit-to-standard workshops • For harmonizing processes across geographies • While documenting AS-IS vs TO-BE ⸻ ⚙️ HOW to get started? • Learn the Process Explorer • Use Journey Modeling • Explore Process Intelligence • Connect with Solution Manager & SAP Cloud ALM ⸻ 🎓 For me, this is not “just another tool.” It’s an upgrade of thinking—from transactions to transformations. 📈 New tools require new mindsets. And Signavio is where process thinking becomes visible. ⸻ If you’re using or learning Signavio—drop a comment. Let’s create a micro-community of process-driven consultants 🚀 #SAP #Signavio #BusinessProcessManagement #SAPConsulting #S4HANA #LearningJourney #SAPTransformation #BPM #DigitalTransformation #AvnikantLearns

SAP conversations are different today — and more urgent than ever. A few months ago at SAP Sapphire, I met with SAP leaders, technology partners, and enterprise customers across industries. The message was clear: the time to modernize is now. But not every organization is starting from the same place. Some are still on ECC. Others are well into their S/4HANA journey. Many are navigating skills gaps, compliance mandates, or mounting pressure to accelerate. When I meet with customers, I don’t start with a product roadmap. I start with a question: What are you solving for — cost, compliance, innovation, or all three? Because SAP transformation isn’t just about moving platforms. It’s about unlocking business value. At Kyndryl, our approach is consultative, tailored, and focused on outcomes: Start with ambition, not just architecture. Every SAP landscape is different. We co-create the path from where you are to where you want to be — whether that’s cloud migration, clean-core strategy, or broader reinvention. Modernize, don’t just migrate. We focus on reducing complexity, embedding AI and observability, and unlocking agility across hybrid environments. Act as the ecosystem integrator. We bring SAP, hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and leading ISVs together to drive faster, more confident outcomes. Put industry context first. From connected supply chains in manufacturing to payments modernization in financial services and data-residency in public sector — relevance drives impact. One breakthrough we showcased at Sapphire: our partnership with Nova Intelligence, a Silicon Valley startup co-founded by the inventor of SAP HANA. Nova’s platform uses AI to accelerate S/4HANA transitions by analyzing legacy code and generating up to 95% clean-core code. In a recent pilot, Kyndryl transformed two mission-critical apps in just 10 days — cutting implementation time by 75% and cost by 50%. With deep expertise, strong partnerships, and now AI-powered transformation capabilities, Kyndryl is uniquely positioned to accelerate your SAP journey — wherever you're starting from.

📢 I recently spoke at 'The Alpinists of Enterprise Architecture' about 'Why SAP Goes All In on Enterprise Architecture.' Together with Nico Hertwig and Rolf B. Blankenmayer, we explored why Enterprise Architecture (EA) has become such a key priority at SAP and its SAP Business Technology Platform, the challenges and opportunities that come with it, and how organizations can leverage EA as a true strategic foundation. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in EA's role in ERP modernization.👇

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗔𝗣 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲) 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆. Scrolling through LinkedIn, you might get the impression that being a top SAP consultant is all about polished presentations, keynotes, flawless meetings, and effortless success. The reality? It’s often quite different. Great SAP consulting isn’t about glossy PowerPoints or perfect LinkedIn posts. It’s about rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty—digging into complex processes, changing user mindsets, and solving problems that don’t have simple answers. It’s about persistence, grit, and practical know-how. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀. Sure, strategic vision and stakeholder communication matter—but the backbone of success lies in those long hours of detailed preparations, discussions, configuration, troubleshooting, and continuous learning. It’s messy. It’s challenging. And it’s incredibly rewarding. So next time you see those polished success stories, remember: behind every seamless value-generating SAP rollout is a lot of hard work, sweat, and yes, some coffee-fueled late nights. For all my fellow consultants grinding away in the trenches—keep pushing. That’s where real transformation and value creation happen.

🚀 Q4 is here – and the SAP hiring market in Germany isn’t slowing down. We’re seeing high demand across S/4HANA transformation projects, especially in modules like FI, SD, and HCM. Many companies want to lock in talent before budgets reset in January. 🔹 For companies: Don’t wait until January – competition for top talent will only intensify. 🔹 For candidates: October & November are perfect months to interview and secure your next step before the holiday slowdown. If you’re planning your next move – whether hiring or looking – now is the right time to act.
