ARIS to
Signavio.
Your full process library moves to SAP Signavio. Structure kept. Naming consistent. Every model checked after the move. We handle the migration; your team keeps working.
ARIS
Models, hierarchies, dictionary entries, conventions
Signavio
Clean, validated, hierarchy-correct process library
The Problem
Where ARIS Migrations
Go Wrong
Many ARIS-to-Signavio migrations focus on getting models across. Few check whether the result works. Three failures come up again and again.
Hierarchy collapse
ARIS folder structures don't map cleanly to Signavio's hierarchy model. Parent-child links break. Orphan models pile up. Your process architecture goes flat and unnavigable.
Naming drift
ARIS conventions (object types, prefixes, abbreviations) don't carry over. Without active normalisation, you get a Signavio library nobody can search or maintain.
Dictionary disconnect
ARIS glossary entries and linked attributes rarely survive the move. Models arrive in Signavio unlinked from their dictionary, breaking governance and traceability from day one.
Our Approach
Four Phases,
Checked at Each Step
Every migration is scoped to your environment. We extract, transform, load and validate, then hand you a checked process library.
Discovery & Inventory
We audit your ARIS environment: model count, object types, hierarchy depth, naming conventions, dictionary entries, and any custom attributes. You get a migration scope document before any work starts.
- Full ARIS inventory report
- Model-type mapping to Signavio equivalents
- Hierarchy structure analysis
- Migration scope and timeline
Extract & Transform
We export your models from ARIS and convert them to Signavio-compatible formats. Naming is normalised. Hierarchy relationships are kept. Dictionary entries map to the Signavio glossary structure.
- BPMN model conversion and validation
- Naming convention normalisation
- Dictionary-to-glossary mapping
- Custom attribute migration
Load & Reconstruct
We import the converted models into Signavio with hierarchy intact. Folder structure rebuilt. Glossary links reconnected. Parent-child relationships verified at every level.
- Signavio import with hierarchy reconstruction
- Glossary linking and verification
- Orphan detection and resolution
- Access permissions configuration
Validate & Sign Off
We run our full 167+ automated test suite against the migrated library. Every model is checked for BPMN compliance, naming consistency, hierarchy correctness, and glossary linkage. You get a validation report before sign-off.
- 167+ automated health checks
- Side-by-side source vs. target comparison
- Exception report with remediation
- Sign-off documentation
What Moves
What
Transfers
Not just models. We move everything that makes your process library usable: structure, metadata, governance links and naming standards.
Process Models
BPMN, EPC, and value chain diagrams converted and validated
Folder Hierarchy
Full tree structure rebuilt with parent-child integrity
Dictionary / Glossary
Entries mapped and linked to the correct model shapes
Naming Standards
Conventions normalised to Signavio-compatible format
Cross-References
Model-to-model links and call activities preserved
Custom Attributes
Mapped to Signavio custom attribute framework
Roles & Lanes
Organisational units and swim-lane assignments carried over
KPIs & Metrics
Performance indicators linked to process context
After Migration: Keep It Healthy
Migration is the starting line. Signavio AMS runs 167+ automated checks every month, so the library you just migrated stays clean, compliant and governed.
