SAP Signavio and N2ONE CORE Intelligence start from different questions.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is primarily focused on understanding and improving how business processes run. N2ONE CORE Intelligence starts closer to the ECC system itself: how it is configured, customized, used and connected.
The two approaches can complement each other. N2ONE is not positioned here as a replacement for Signavio.

| Primary question |
What exactly is in our ECC system? |
How are our business processes actually running? |
| Starting point |
ECC configuration, transaction usage, Z-tables, custom functions, interfaces, data structures and validated expert knowledge. |
Process and event data used for process analysis, process mining, conformance, dashboards and performance metrics. |
| Main output |
Dynamic technical and operational ECC documentation plus a reusable system baseline. |
Process flows, variants, KPIs, bottlenecks, conformance and process-performance insights. |
| Customized ECC |
Designed to inventory and document the customer-specific ECC footprint, including Z-objects and selected custom dependencies. |
Supports SAP ECC as a source system and also supports custom process analysis, custom attributes and customizable metrics. |
| Consultant onboarding |
Give new consultants a documented system baseline before detailed workshops begin. |
Give process and transformation teams visibility into how selected processes execute and perform. |
| Baseline |
Configuration + usage + custom objects + interfaces + validated process context, refreshed and compared over time. |
Process data, metrics and analysis configurations that can be used to track process performance and improvement over time. |
| Improvement execution |
Findings become prioritized, project-based initiatives in N2ONE Strategy; the ECC system can then be re-assessed and compared with the original baseline. |
Insights support process transformation, harmonization and continuous process improvement initiatives. |
| SAP future |
Understand what should be retained, improved, cleaned, integrated or changed before SAP IBP or S/4HANA initiatives. |
Strong transformation orientation, including SAP S/4HANA transformation and SAP-defined value accelerators for ECC and S/4HANA processes. |
| Integration / automation |
N2ONE CORE can also support ECC integration and transaction automation using SAP data, BAPIs and RFC-enabled functions. |
Primary focus is process intelligence and process transformation rather than serving as the ECC transaction-integration layer. |
THE SIMPLE DISTINCTION Signavio helps you understand the process. N2ONE CORE Intelligence helps you understand the ECC system behind it.
For a mature ECC environment, that system-level view can be especially useful before a new consultant, IBP initiative, S/4HANA program or improvement project begins.
WHERE N2ONE GOES DEEPER
Questions a new ECC consultant may still need answered
Process analysis can show how work flows through the business. N2ONE CORE Intelligence is intended to document more of the underlying ECC system context.
Which Z-transactions are actually used?
Which custom tables support the process?
Which plants use which configuration?
Which custom functions and interfaces are involved?
Which MRP settings are configured and actually being used?
Which parts of ECC appear underutilized?
Which system dependencies should be understood before S/4HANA or IBP?
What changed after the last improvement project?
N2ONE DIFFERENTIATOR
The dynamic ECC baseline
N2ONE CORE Intelligence can create a dated baseline of configuration, transaction usage, Z-objects, interfaces and validated process context. After a project-based initiative, the assessment can be run again to compare the updated system state against the original baseline.

N2ONE and Signavio can coexist. N2ONE CORE Intelligence can provide ECC configuration, customization and system-baseline intelligence, while SAP Signavio provides deeper process mining and process-performance analysis. N2ONE Strategy can then govern the resulting improvement initiatives.
