Intellior, one of the solution partners, on the other hand, understands it as a tool for actively modeling business processes.<\/p>\n<p>For the Walldorf-based company, this is primarily a business management support and improvement that has been developing since the early nineties. Back then, in cooperation with the Saarbr\u00fccken-based company IDS Scheer, the company began to use standard modules to put a large number of transactions in a completely new, process-based order.<\/p><div id=\"great-4218262427\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en great-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ZGXMPyM-nU\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"banner_26-04_29_1200x150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The SAP standard was not built as a model for process control, of course. But a new arrangement of modules and transactions brought together entities that could be used to make a whole new process-driven SAP implementation.<\/p>\n<p>The demand was for business management solutions, not so much for software development. The subsidiaries of the DAX companies (these had \"only\" R\/2) were seen as the target, and their tendency towards a certain independence was met with R\/3.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of business processes turned into business models that did not deny their corporate strategy core. Software solutions had to learn to think in business terms.<\/p>\n<p>A new concept of the company emerged: companies were now to be strategically organized systems whose administration was taken over by a special tool: the Solution Manager. Here, the processes should at least be documented, but so simple that every administrator could work with it.<\/p>\n<p>The process idea continued to develop, even quite independently of SAP. Although there was and still is a wealth of possibilities to influence business processes.<\/p>\n<p>Specialists for business process management (GPM) grew into the market, for example, 25 years ago the Stuttgart-based company Intellior with its flexible tool Aeneis, currently with an integrated interface to SolMan.<\/p>\n<p>The message was now: use the company's own circumstances more freely. If you have a flexible tool for modeling business processes, then it's best that SolMan can take up these models, administer them sensibly, and integrate them so that the whole thing fits together.<\/p>\n<p>From a purely administrative task arose a solution competence dedicated to the active modeling of processes. A challenging field of work that was no longer to be located at the level of lower management.<\/p>\n<p>It becomes clear what significance the business processes from SAP can have in the company if they are also used as the basis for a uniform, integrated company design. The user brings the complete solution documentation from Solution Manager 7.2 into the BPM tool Aeneis.<\/p>\n<p>This has extended its own schema by that of SolMan and thus enables a lossless import. In addition to the structures, libraries and business processes, all BPMN diagrams and documents are also available, both from existing solutions and from the best-practice models of SAP or other providers.<\/p>\n<p>But who is now playing to whom? Intellior plays its modeling jobs into SolMan via the interface, and SolMan in turn responds not only with a professional docu-work, but with a lively exchange program.<\/p>\n<p>In this interaction, the SAP inventory customer has one tool instead of several and one screen with access to his task areas. Two worlds grow together in this interaction: the diverse modeling practice of the business processes and the enriched tool SolMan, regardless of whether this is in ERP\/ECC 6.0 or in S\/4, BW\/4, C4 or on the Hana platform.<\/p>\n<p>This text is based on a press briefing by Professor Frank Morelli with Klaus Neugebauer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing does not mean that one plays and the other watches.
