Case Study: KWS SAAT strengthens business-IT alignment with SAP Signavio and LeanIX

KWS SAAT unifies 6,000 employees’ process and IT planning with SAP Signavio

KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, one of the world's largest plant breeding companies, faced challenges due to a lack of a single source of truth for its IT landscape and no visibility on how planned changes would impact its mission-critical processes. This lack of transparency made it difficult to plan its transformation to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. To address this, the company used the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite and LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Management.

The solution implemented by SAP Signavio provided enterprise-wide process coverage and visibility, while LeanIX created visibility across the entire IT landscape by connecting processes with applications. This combination gave KWS transparency over its current and target architecture, enabling strategic IT planning decisions. The result was a faster implementation of process optimizations and the ability to define a common language for its S/4HANA transition across all business areas.
