Bertelsmann subsidiary Arvato Systems, process mining expert Apromore, and German digitalization specialist GBTEC have jointly developed a process mining connector to the world’s most widely used ERP system, SAP
Apromore and GBTEC join forces with SAP integration specialist Arvato Systems to develop a state-of-the-art process mining solution to increase transparency of business processes running on SAP systems. The connector enables the automatic execution of prebuilt data pipelines to extract, transform and load transactional data from SAP S/4HANA and its predecessor SAP ERP ECC 6.0 into Apromore Enterprise Edition and GBTEC’s BIC Process Mining by Apromore. Enterprises now have an easier way to discover, analyze and optimize key business processes running on SAP.

Gregor Greinke, CEO of GBTEC, said, “More and more customers focus on the digitalization of their processes, structures and services. ERP systems such as SAP in particular benefit from a data-driven management of their processes. With many years of SAP excellence and over 400 SAP experts around the world, Arvato Systems is the right partner to intelligently link process mining and SAP.”
SAP interface offers standard transfers for important end-to-end processes as well as highest IT and data security
The connector supports end-to-end processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and record-to-report. The modules are easy-to-use, highly configurable and meet the highest security standards. They can be flexibly deployed on-premises or on the cloud, and support a range of SAP client customizations, significantly reducing the time-to-value for process mining initiatives on top of SAP. These modules are complemented by custom performance dashboards built on top of Apromore/BIC Process Mining to enable managers to keep track of all relevant performance indicators for their key processes.
Prof. Marcello La Rosa, CEO and Founder of Apromore, said, “To date, many businesses using SAP are still struggling to truly understand the nature of their own processes. Without this intimate understanding, any digital transformation, SAP S/4HANA migration or operational excellence initiative, is destined to fail. Enterprises needed a new secure connector for SAP that could cope with all sorts of SAP customizations without getting mired in lengthy integration projects. Now customers can combine the power of SAP with Apromore’s unique process mining algorithms to identify concrete improvement opportunities in their current processes and simulate interventions before jumping into implementation.”
