Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using SAP Process Control as the backbone of our internal control system. It helped us to get rid of offline files, established a single source of truth, and helped us to implement a workflow based way of working. With the possibilities that SAP Process Control offers, we managed to mature our way of working as well as our internal control system.

Pros and Cons

Workflows - The workflows of SAP Process Control are extremely helpful
Reporting - Standard reports as well as the connection to SAP AC is very helpful
Continuous Control Monitoring is the way to go in ICS Topics in the future.
Handling of users - Assignment and Replacements
Spot Checks - Helpful workflows and setup

Connection to SAP AC
Easier workflows for remediation actions
Configuration of workflows - e.g. email templates for workflows
Survey design

Return on Investment

Better maturity of the ICS System
More Awareness on ICS Topics
More Assurance for the Management

Alternatives Considered

ARIS, ServiceNow Governance, Risk and and Compliance

The connectivity with other SAP products out of the SAP GRC suite, like Access Control and so on, was key for the decision. Also we had an already mature SAP System landscape as well as having internal processes that were similar to the SAP Process Control standard processes helped us with the decision to implement SAP Process Control.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my opinion, SAP Process Control is well suited for bigger companies with an already mature Internal Control System as well as for bigger companies who want to completely new/redesign the internal control system. The size of the company, as well as the budget, is quite important when thinking about the implementation of SAP Process Control. A smaller company with e.g., 150 people should think more about implementing SAP FCM.
