SAP Signavio’s New Strategic Partnership with Knoa in Task Mining for Business Process Transformation
Knoa Task Mining for SAP, sold by SAP as SAP® User Experience Management (UEM) by Knoa, delivers true observability for critical business processes across both SAP and non-SAP applications.
Knoa task mining is an essential component of SAP’s Toolchain of integrated solutions, delivering unique task mining capabilities that integrate seamlessly with SAP Signavio to provide end-to-end visibility into process execution and user behaviors for optimal business transformation.
Task mining complements standard process mining technology by capturing how processes are actually executed through a detailed log of user interactions with application interfaces.

Why is Task Mining Important?
If you want to maximize the efficiency of your business processes, you cannot rely solely on process logs. You need the user’s perspective. It doesn’t matter how optimized a process is – if users struggle to adopt it or have problems with the execution.
Knoa’s task mining bridges this last-mile visibility gap.
RISE with SAP
Knoa transforms RISE from a technical lift-and-shift into a value-driven transformation by focusing on human elements (user experience and process execution) that often determine project success.
Holistic Business Process Visibility
Knoa Enhances Signavio’s process mining by adding task-level granularity, providing a holistic view of process execution for agile adjustments.
Discovery and Planning Phase
- Assess Current State: Identify bottlenecks, redundant steps, and high-impact processes in legacy SAP systems to prioritize migration scope and build a data-driven business case.
- User-Centric Prioritization: Analyze transaction volumes, user profiles, and custom code utilization to focus efforts on critical areas, reducing migration complexity.
- ROI Justification: Quantify potential productivity gains and cost savings post-migration, aligning with RISE’s emphasis on measurable business outcomes.
Implementation and Testing Phase
- Workflow Validation: Monitor user acceptance testing (UAT) in real-time, tracing error lifecycles and validating new cloud-based processes against as-is baselines.
- Risk Mitigation: Detect deviations early, support automation prioritization (e.g., for RPA initiatives), and ensure compliance with process standards.
Adoption and Optimization Phase
- Adoption Monitoring: Track user engagement with the new S/4HANA Cloud environment, identifying training gaps or resistance to drive hyper-care and proactive support.
- Performance Benchmarking: Compare pre- and post-migration KPIs (e.g., user adoption, proficiency) to quantify improvements and optimize ongoing operations.
- Continuous Improvement: Uncover post-go-live inefficiencies and inform future RISE expansions like AI-driven automations.
