FAQ on replacing SAP Signavio

What happens to our content from SAP Signavio?

Documents and lists are transferred to your SharePoint. Which metadata, versions and histories can be exported depends on the old system and your contract and is clarified in the replacement check.

Do we need to run both systems in parallel?

Not necessarily. A short parallel phase can make sense until audits or approval cycles are completed.

How long does the replacement take?

Power IMS is ready to use as a standard Teams app. The duration depends mainly on the scope and quality of the content to transfer.

Where is our data stored afterwards?

In the SharePoint of your own Microsoft 365 tenant; permissions use your existing Microsoft 365 accounts.
