organization's SAP systems and identifies potential areas of
improvement.
Example Areas of improvement
include process, system and
usage refinement.

3. WHAT DOES THE BVA
DIAGNOSE?
The BVA identifies:
User complexity by SAP transaction code
Complexity refers to the volume of fields users typically maintain each time a
transaction code is accessed.
Potential user compliance gaps
Complexity anomalies across user communities identify where segregation of duties
may be overlooked or ungoverned.

9. WHAT DOES THE BVA PREDICT?
Potential time saving opportunities
Time saving (and the related financial saving) is achieved through automation of
manual data entry tasks. Automation of high volume data loads can significantly
reduce utilization of valuable resources.
Potential workflow opportunities
User pattern analysis combined with SAP and business process knowledge
leads to the identification of (sometimes unexpected) business workflow
processes.
