Signify:
Illuminating customer journeys through a redesigned process landscape

Signify N.V. is a world leader in lighting, recognized for expertise in the development, manufacture, and sale of connected and energy-efficient lighting products, systems, and services. Signify has a presence in over 70 countries and is known for innovation and developing the potential of light for brighter lives and a better world.

On a journey to shift from product-centric business models to a more customer-centric approach, Signify started to rethink its business process management practices and company-wide process framework. To enable business process transformation focused on its customer-centric vision, Signify sought modern tools that would allow it to layer multiple customer journeys in a modernized process framework.
