The document summarizes Seneca Foods' business transformation efforts, including establishing an enterprise process model and repository. It outlines a phased approach to 1) baseline current processes, 2) build an ARIS repository integrating SAP and process models, and 3) enable process harmonization across the organization. The goal is to support business growth and strategic objectives through standardized, optimized processes aligned with their SAP platform.
More and more companies are turning towards processes as the cornerstone to transform their business. Additionally, this process-focus is resonating from an organization’s Information Services group as both an end user and champion of processes. This catalyst into process often arises as companies implement SAP.
Seneca Foods, a leading producer and distributor of processed fruits and vegetables, recently implemented SAP and is beginning down the path of process-based business transformation.
Carl Cichetti, CIO, Seneca Foods, and Todd Lohr, VP Business Transformation, Confiance, will show how Seneca Foods partnered with Confiance to fast-track their process transformation effort.

Best Practices for Enterprise Performance ManagementPerficient, Inc.
A special webinar for Finance professionals
Looking forward to budget season? For many managers, the budget process is a painful, manual process driven by disconnected Excel spreadsheets that are error-prone, static, and generally non-collaborative. The result is a budget that becomes irrelevant as soon as the new fiscal year begins.
A more nimble response is needed. Budgeting and planning should be a continuous, flexible exercise based on rolling forecasts, and supported by systems that can adapt as the business climate changes.
Join us as we discuss how applying best practices and using an automated Enterprise Performance Management system can help intelligent enterprises reap the benefits of flexible budgeting, accurate forecasting and dynamic planning. By implementing best practices for budgeting and planning, you can:
- Make the budget process less painful
- Replace spreadsheets with web forms
- Automate the budget roll-up process
- Create budgets based on key business drivers
- Link strategic goals to operational decisions
- Integrate financial “actuals” with budget and forecast data
- Provide easy, real-time variance reporting
- Access a single version of the truth for financial information
Presenter Emil Fernandez is General Manager of Perficient's national Enterprise Performance Management practice.
