Improving processes.

We analyze your processes across modules and systems and develop concrete approaches for their further development. In doing so, we combine process understanding with SAP consulting and modern technology.
Overview

Process consulting with the bigger picture in mind

Well-structured workflows are the foundation for efficient work and high-performing IT. We analyze your structures across departments and SAP modules, identify potential for improvement and take into account how organization, IT and data interact.

Our approach combines SAP consulting with a broader perspective. Instead of looking at individual areas in isolation, we analyze the connections between them and use this to develop concrete ideas for evolving your workflows and system landscape.

This creates a solid foundation for optimizing your processes and developing your SAP landscape in a targeted way.

Our focus

Taking your business processes further

Reducing manual handoffs between systems, optimizing master data and standardizing workflows where it makes sense: we identify where digitalization makes a real difference and which steps can be automated. In doing so, we look at how processes, customers, suppliers and internal departments interact. The result is end-to-end workflows that integrate seamlessly into your existing IT landscape.

End-to-end digitalization

From sales and production to delivery and invoicing, we look at the entire process chain and connect data and systems.

Master data and data flows

We analyze master data and data flows as the foundation for efficient processes and identify where there is potential for optimization.

Automation

We assess which workflows can be effectively automated and where SAP solutions or modern technologies can support manual tasks.

How we work

From analysis to sustainable implementation

Understanding processes

We map your existing workflows, structures and systems and make connections and potential for improvement visible. We take both the business requirements and your existing IT landscape into account. A Digital Roadmap is often used as a starting point, as it provides a comprehensive overview of processes, systems and opportunities for digitalization.

Developing opportunities

Based on the analysis, we develop concrete approaches for further improvement. Together, we define which changes make sense and how processes, data and systems should work together in the future.

Supporting implementation

We guide you through the implementation and ensure that the planned changes become part of everyday work. Even after go-live, we continue to advise you and support the ongoing development of your processes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Module consulting optimizes within a single component, such as FI, MM or SD. Process consulting looks at the end-to-end process across module boundaries and avoids local optimizations that create problems elsewhere. This cross-module and cross-system approach to consulting is what defines itprocess.

SAP process optimization improves existing workflows in the SAP system through standardization, automation and the elimination of workarounds in order to reduce lead times and improve quality and transparency. The goal is lean, largely automated processes with measurable added value rather than isolated individual improvements.

A process consulting project begins with an analysis of the current processes and the identification of weaknesses and opportunities. This is followed by the target concept and the implementation in SAP, accompanied by change management. Follow-up support ensures that the improvements become part of everyday work.

Change management plays a central role in this: process and system changes only work if employees embrace them. That is why change management methods are an integral part of every itprocess project rather than an optional extra.

As a product-neutral and independent partner, itprocess assesses SAP initiatives on a factual basis, without any product or licensing interests. This gives you a reliable second opinion that puts your business processes first.

End-to-end processes look at a workflow in its entirety across all departments and systems involved, for example from order to payment or from sales order to delivery. Only this continuous view reliably reveals gaps and duplicated work.

It makes sense to clean up processes with a high level of manual effort, many workarounds or extensive customizing before the migration. This prevents inefficient workflows and unnecessary custom developments from being carried over into the new system. That is why process optimization and migration belong in a joint roadmap.

Lean process optimization eliminates waste such as unnecessary steps, waiting times and duplicate data entry, and consistently aligns processes with the value they create. In SAP projects, this ensures that only the workflows that are truly needed are mapped and automated.

An SAP target architecture describes the desired future state of the SAP landscape, i.e. which systems, modules, extensions and interfaces are to work together going forward. It is the technical counterpart to the roadmap and ensures that individual measures contribute to a consistent overall picture.

itprocess specializes in optimizing and further developing existing SAP processes as an independent partner for existing SAP customers. The starting point is always the business process, not the technology.

Process consulting provides the framework and defines what your business processes should look like in the future. Process optimization then puts this into practice in the SAP system through standardization, automation and the elimination of workarounds.

Process consulting analyzes and improves a company’s business processes and translates them into a suitable IT or SAP solution. A process consultant looks at the end-to-end process across individual departments and SAP modules and ensures that organization, processes and IT fit together.
