Together, 麻豆原创 and Icertis continue to support global brands — including Lufthansa Technik, , and — as companies look to contract intelligence to solve significant business challenges through digital transformation.

By turning static contracts into structured data that connects to 麻豆原创 solutions, Icertis and 麻豆原创 can enable customers to discover revenue, savings, and compliance risks in their contracts while managing and automating core processes with their 麻豆原创 solutions.

Since in January 2022, 麻豆原创 and Icertis have built a joint product road map designed to deliver enterprise-wide value, connecting contract data to enterprise resource planning (ERP), finance, procurement, sales, and human resources (HR) software from 麻豆原创. There are new, tighter integrations between the Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform and 麻豆原创 Ariba and 麻豆原创 Fieldglass solutions, as well as with the 麻豆原创 CPQ solution, part of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. These integrations provide contract intelligence for 麻豆原创 customers, enabling analytics and automation at scale to support more strategic decision-making.

鈥淥ur partnership with Icertis continues to complement the 麻豆原创 portfolio, integrating contract intelligence as a critical system of record across the 麻豆原创 suite and injecting powerful contract insights directly into core business processes,鈥� said Sebastian Steinhaeuser, chief strategy officer at 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淭he momentum we鈥檝e experienced over the last year with Icertis is just the beginning, and we鈥檙e looking forward to further expanding the partnership to help businesses unlock the full value in their contracts across the enterprise.鈥�

The ICI platform integrates to 麻豆原创 solutions and enables more efficient contract creation, negotiation, and obligation management, pairing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with the unique contract data that fuels source-to-pay and lead-to-cash processes. ICI also automates contract workflows and delivers real-time insights to help finance, legal, and procurement leaders reconcile buy-side and sell-side agreements so companies can confirm terms are met and potential risks are mitigated.

鈥淚certis and 麻豆原创 have worked closely to develop integrations that provide a streamlined experience for customers so they can continue managing core operations with 麻豆原创 while leveraging best-in-class contract intelligence to accelerate revenue, increase savings, improve compliance, and reduce risk,鈥� said Samir Bodas, chairman and CEO of Icertis. 鈥淎utomating contract-driven processes helps ensure that the intent of every contract is fully realized, and surfaces savings and profitability opportunities contained within contracts. These insights better position businesses to face macro-economic factors like inflation and reach their strategic goals in the year ahead.鈥�

Icertis and 麻豆原创 began partnering in 2020 and deepened their partnership last year as Icertis offered an 麻豆原创 endorsed app. Together, the companies will continue to identify new AI use cases for contract data and opportunities to enable strategic outcomes through enterprise relationships, innovating for mutual customers in anticipation of future business needs.

麻豆原创 Endorsed Apps are apps developed by independent software vendors that have been endorsed by 麻豆原创, supporting added security, in-depth testing, and measurements against benchmark results. All Icertis and 麻豆原创 software integrations bear premium certification and are available in , the online marketplace for solutions from 麻豆原创 and partners.

That is the very problem that , 麻豆原创, and Signavio (prior to acquisition by 麻豆原创) have been working on together for the better part of a decade. As technology rapidly evolves to support innovative and dynamic business models and to drive new revenue streams, things just get more complex for IT as businesses leaders creatively leverage their new opportunities.

“It鈥檚 hard to move to a better operating model if you don鈥檛 know what you鈥檙e actually doing or how things work today,鈥� said David Crooks, enterprise architect at Travis Perkins.

For the past nine years, LeanIX and 麻豆原创 Signavio shared a common mindset and goal: help create a common language for IT and business leaders. This idea is game-changing because all the transparency and collaboration in the world does not help if one side doesn鈥檛 understand what the other is truly saying. A shared vision for bridging business and IT has guided our product integration and allowed us to serve our customers better, together.

Earlier this month we took that partnership to a new level. LeanIX continues to be a vital partner for 麻豆原创, and we see customer demand building rapidly as we help deliver faster ROI in our customers鈥� transformation journeys. The LeanIX flagship product, , has been premium certified by 麻豆原创 and is now an 麻豆原创 endorsed app.

Visibility into enterprise architecture is a critical ingredient at any stage of a transformation journey, especially when paired with visibility into the end-to-end business processes that architecture supports, so everyone at the table can understand the feedback loop among operational systems and business outcomes. This partnership enables organizations to accelerate their transformation with an eye toward operational excellence and delivering business results 鈥� not just IT milestones 鈥� faster.

The combination of LeanIX and 麻豆原创 Signavio offers customers what they need to achieve business and IT collaboration, reduce uncertainty, make better decisions, and ultimately accelerate their transformation agendas.

equip companies of all sizes with actionable insights that help them to realize their road map, based on the 麻豆原创 Activate methodology. Combined with LeanIX, customers can achieve an extra layer of insight that spans across their present and future software landscape and relate their technology investments directly to business processes. LeanIX鈥檚 native support for the 麻豆原创 Activate methodology is one of many aspects that underpin the spirit of our partnership and how we serve our joint customers with a common approach and aligned methodology and taxonomy.

LeanIX had out-of-the-box integration with Signavio modelling capabilities as a Signavio partner prior to joining with 麻豆原创, which adds further value to the partnership. The shared product road map includes:

• Improved integration of LeanIX EAM with 麻豆原创 Signavio Process Manager
• A new integration with the upcoming version of 麻豆原创 Signavio Journey Modeler
• Automated insights into cloud-based 麻豆原创 landscapes based on integration with 麻豆原创 Cloud ALM

All these enhancements will help further accelerate our customers transformations, which are literally on the rise thanks to the RISE with 麻豆原创 offering.

“Without the support of LeanIX, a cost-efficient and smooth transition from our old landscape to the new 麻豆原创 S/4HANA software landscape would not have been possible,” said Oliver Dawid, IT enterprise architect at Marc O鈥橮olo.

This partnership will also add value to the One Process Acceleration Layer package, a repository for 麻豆原创 and partner-led best practices and industry-specific processes. Being able to link to these from LeanIX will provide customers the best possible foundation to help plan their business transformation, taking their individual situation of their industry and line of business fully into consideration.

“LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Management enables us to collectively understand the as-is state, for both the 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 landscape, making it easier to define a plan that gets us to the desired state,鈥� said Jochen Fauser of Partner Technology Strategy & Transformation at Deloitte.

The most humbling part about our elevated partnership is the confirmation we have received from the market through extremely positive feedback from customers and partners alike. In the end, the outcome of a partnership is only measured in one currency: customer success.
