Can somebody please explain to me what this company does?

https://www.signavio.com/

Its kinda technical mumbo jumbo for processes?

Appearantly its pretty much worth because they been bought up by sap.

Sorry if it does not belong here. But i really dont understand these management process optimization tools and why they should be so important? We do our stuff with confluence and jira and thats it. But we are also a software conpany nothing todo with hardware...

Reads to me like everything under one roof / software kinda system.

Looks like they specialized in tools and counseling for megacorp administration.
Business process planning and documentation, compliance and risk management amd all that other shit we always try to avoid getting involved in...

@N00bPancakes

Yes but isnt there enough of them already?

Or is this buisnessarea just some weird arcane region every now and then somebody comes around and can say my shit is the best.

Or are most megacorp companies still using windows 95 and mainframes?

@noyb There's enough of a lot of things.

I think a lot of those companies are just there to give folks in management a feel for what is happening, because they're not capable enough to figure it out on their own.

It's a misconception.

Jira/Confluence can be part of a process workflow, but they're not the process itself.

I don't know this tool and as such I can only do guess work...

Example is eg here: https://signavio.com/workflow-examp...

But most of the time these tools are the glue that eg. visualizes a process by incorporating all necessary decisions, related tools and necessary metadata (URLs, PDFs, any data necessary to fulfill the process step).

In a nutshell: all decision (process-) steps describing how you achieve a certain goal.

@IntrusionCM

Jira and confluence can also encompass a lot of processes. I guess there are tools for all overarching layers of workplaces and the pain points for management are especially "painfull"

Thanks for the explanation !
