Why real document data beats any workshop

In many SAP transformation projects, process discovery starts with a workshop. Business units sketch their flows on a whiteboard, a consultant tidies it up — and that picture becomes the basis for far-reaching decisions.

The problem: the resulting target process shows how things should work, not how they actually run.

What document data reveals

Every document in SAP — from the purchase requisition to the order, goods receipt and invoice — leaves a trail. These document flows are an honest record of what happened:

• Variants that nobody mentioned in the workshop
• Frequencies that show where the real effort sits
• Automation rates that expose manual bottlenecks

From trail to decision

Conjola reconstructs exactly these end-to-end chains straight from the document data. Instead of debating the as-is state, it’s on the table — as the basis for the question that really matters: what do we migrate, what do we let go, and where is standardization worth it?

Fact-based instead of gut feeling. That’s the difference.
