Quickly create, model, and simulate your processes

The academic edition of SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite offers numerous capabilities for process model creation, modeling, version control, and simulation.

The graphical editor is a visual process modeling tool that supports common process modeling techniques and conventions. In addition to business process model and notation (BPMN) models, you can create value chain diagrams, use UML, ArchiMate, or DMN, create Petri nets, and much more.

Quickly create, model, and simulate your processes

Use the QuickModel feature to sketch a new process automatically by simply inserting the tasks in a table. Especially for process modeling newbies, this is a great way to get started and learn how to model according to BPMN conventions!

Create process models

Create your processes more simply, add new activities, edit, and review your models in the graphical editor.

Whether you are a student, lecturer, or research affiliate of an accredited university, start process modeling, simulation, and more with the SAP Signavio suite!

Registration will grant you access to SAP Signavio solutions for an initial six months, which may be extended as long as you are part of an academic institution (with a valid institutional e-mail address).

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)

Build your own BPMN diagram to visualize your processes and specify who's responsible for certain tasks by including swim lanes.

Simulate processes for alternative business scenarios

Kick-start process simulation by setting and monitoring case scenarios, and dive into tasks most relevant to you. Uncover hidden opportunities and find the best alternatives.

Petri nets

Use SAP Signavio solutions to visualize your workflow as a Petri net. A Petri net is a powerful formal model for describing the behavior of concurrent systems and is often used as a formal foundation for verifying the control flow of process models.

Dictionary

Use the dictionary to help ensure a central and consistent management of recurring process information. Save modeling elements in the dictionary to reuse them in future processes.
