ABBYY ® Timeline SAP Connector™
Access process-relevant data from your SAP system

ABBYY Timeline SAP Connector delivers SAP event logs withfull transparency of each activity
ABBYY Timeline SAP Connector provides an SAP-certified module that removes the timeconsuming steps of data extraction, event log creation, and visualization from SAP applications
with just a few clicks.
ABBYY Timeline allows businesses to use the information contained within their SAP systems
to create a visual model of their processes, analyze them to identify opportunities for process
improvement, monitor them in real time, and predict future outcomes to facilitate decision-making.

Efficient data
extraction

SAP Connector automatically loads only the datathat is needed• Extracts data from custom SAP fields• Allows users to define the tables and fields required from SAP
in order to analyze desired process events• Extracted SAP data is imported directly to ABBYY Timeline

Pre-defined
event logs

For SAP purchase-to-pay and order-to-cashprocesses
Pre-defined SAP event logs include• Company code information• Vendor and customer information• Material master data• Monetary values converted into a reporting currency of your choice• Change events (SAP change log) in the process• All resources, such as who executed the event• Automation insights, such as the level of automation of yourevents (pre-phase for RPA projects)Uploadfunction for
ABBYY
Timeline

SAP event logs are automatically uploaded toABBYY Timeline• ABBYY Timeline allows you to import data from practicallyany packaged applications, such as SAP, ERP, CRM, HCM,ECM, and from databases/EDW/marts• Using advanced algorithms, ABBYY Timeline extracts andreads the event time stamps to order them exactly as theyoccurred in your SAP processes• From all these resources, Timeline extracts and converts
data into events reflecting all the steps of a process

Completevisualization
and analysis

Visualize and analyze SAP business processes
using ABBYY Timeline
ABBYY Timeline visually models SAP event logs,
reconstituting them into process instances in such a waythat users can instantly identify variations from the ideal
process flow to find the root cause of a problem.
ABBYY Timeline empowers organizations to• Make data-driven process optimization decisions• Combine data from desktop activities and event logs fromoperational systems to surface the biggest opportunities
for automation• Gain process transparency by revealing process bottlenecks• Uncover areas where required process execution rules are
violated, including the order of tasks and time limits, andwhen any step is missing or repeatedWith over 25 pre-built tools, ABBYY Timeline allows users
to quickly uncover and understand how their SAP processes
executeOnce SAP business processes are reconstructed, ABBYY Timeline’s discovery, analysis, andmonitoring capabilities are available without any configuration or coding.

Process schema
The process schema visually maps the mostcommon path of SAP business processes, whilealso displaying all of the ad-hoc process flows.
ABBYY Timeline uses advanced statisticalanalysis to specifically choose which steps aremost reliably and commonly occurring at thesame place in the process.

Detailed case (instance) analysis
SAP process instances can be analyzed indetail even when different steps in the process
are performed on multiple back-end systems.
Subprocesses are detected using event patternanalysis.

Path analysis
All SAP process instances are analyzed toidentify hidden execution patterns that can beused to detect behaviors that may be beneficial
or detrimental to SAP operations.

Process query
Users can easily define complex queries using
a simple point-and-click configuration tool andfind the SAP process instances that match thoseconditions with sub-second response time.

Bottleneck analysis
Bottleneck analysis identifies and visualizes
the impact of individual SAP process steps
on process performance and throughput todetect the best automation and improvement
candidates. The impact of the events isdetermined by the time interval. ABBYY
Timeline then produces key metrics that canbe sorted in order to have a clear list of top
processes to improve (root cause).

Protocol analysis
Protocol analysis allows users to specify precise
execution rules (order, timing, count, etc.) thatmust be followed and identify SAP process
instances that fail to meet those conditions.

Workflow/journey mapping
Processes that utilize queue-based routing ofpeople or work items (e.g., customer service, IT
services, or call center operations) are analyzedautomatically.

Side-by-side comparison
Subsets of SAP process instances that meetcertain conditions (e.g., cohorts) can be comparedside-by-side to more easily identify variations of
one cohort versus the other.

Operational dashboards
All users can easily define process monitoring
dashboards to track key process metrics and bealerted to any change in conditions that relate totheir operational areas.

Web page embedding
Web page embedding allows Timeline modules to be embedded in an iframe in otherweb applications. This means that Timeline analytics and visualizations can be included
in other applications, providing an easy way of integrating Timeline in other platforms.

ABBYY Process Intelligence
ABBYY’s Process Intelligence platform empowers
businesses to use the information contained within
their systems to create a visual model of theirprocesses, analyze them in real time to identify
bottlenecks, and predict future outcomes to facilitate
decision-making.

With access to real-time data about exactly how
processes are working and the content that fuels
them, ABBYY enables you to gain end-to-end visibility
into processes where it matters most: customer
experience, competitive advantage, and compliance.
