Digitize SAP processes, simplify work and manage change securely – efficiently and transparently.
cenitCONNECT Advanced Process Management (APM) is a solution for modeling, automating, and managing business processes directly within SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP 6.0. It enables business teams to independently design complex workflows, automate routine tasks, and manage processes with greater transparency and compliance.
cenitCONNECT APM is particularly well suited for companies with complex SAP processes, such as approval workflows, change processes, and master data creation. Business teams gain greater autonomy, while standardized processes and clear governance help ensure secure, traceable operations.
As a specialist in SAP and process management, CENIT supports companies from process analysis and design through integration into existing SAP environments to implementation and further development of the solution. Preconfigured solution packages enable a fast start and can be adapted to individual requirements.
Advanced Process Management with cenitCONNECT
Greater flexibility, transparency, and clear ownership for your SAP processes
With cenitCONNECT APM, you can manage and continuously improve business processes directly in SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP 6.0. Business teams gain greater ownership of their processes, while defined rules, roles, and standards ensure transparency and governance.
Manage processes efficiently and transparently
In many companies, processes still depend heavily on manual activities and IT support:
- Changes need to be implemented by IT
- Business teams have to wait for approvals
- Routine tasks consume valuable time
- Status and responsibilities are not always transparent
- Compliance requirements are checked manually
cenitCONNECT APM provides a consistent framework for processes, responsibilities, and standards while aligning business and IT requirements.
Automate SAP Processes Without Custom Programming
Configure instead of program – process management made easy
With cenitCONNECT APM, the certified SAP extension for S/4HANA and ERP 6.0, you can model workflows according to your requirements – without any programming. Processes can be adapted, tested, and optimized during ongoing operations. The solution integrates fully into SAP and combines flexibility with governance and compliance.
Core functions at a glance:
- Graphical process modeling via SAP Fiori interfaces
- Role-based task control and delegation
- Automation of recurring activities
- Configurable review and approval processes (e.g., dual control principle)
- Transparent monitoring and reporting via dashboards and OData connection
Business value first – APM combines process management with innovative strength
cenitCONNECT APM is more than just a workflow tool. Our solution helps you design processes that create real added value. Because every process, whether for product development or changing product data, processes, or structures, should contribute to value creation, not just generate costs. APM is therefore business-centric rather than IT-driven. The solution seamlessly integrates design and supply chain processes, supports agile collaboration, and becomes a control instrument for innovation – not just for compliance.
Workflow Management, Task Management, and Monitoring in SAP
With cenitCONNECT APM, workflows, tasks, and responsibilities can be managed directly within SAP. Role-based processes and transparent status information help process participants see which tasks are pending, who is responsible, and how far a process has progressed.
Monitoring and reporting provide additional transparency into ongoing processes and support traceable process management. In this way, cenitCONNECT APM combines operational task management with an overarching view of processes and responsibilities.
