Our Mission;
We identify Enterprise Solution Architectural gaps that prevent large SAP landscapes from delivering their intended business value - and provide a roadmap with E2E services to fix it.
Enterprise Solution Architecture and Maturity Assessment Services for ERP (ESA MAS 4 ERP)
Transform your ERP landscape with our Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) Maturity Assessment Services and our E2E business transformation roadmap services. We help organizations align their business and operating models, simplify complex SAP landscapes, improve end-to-end (E2E) process efficiency, and prepare for the future through AI-driven operations.
Online ESA Maturity Check for architectural benchmark
As a starting point, we offer a quick Online ESA Maturity Check consisting of 9 targeted questions. This online assessment provides the first valuable insights into your ESA maturity, highlighting key strengths and potential improvement areas.
Your results are benchmarked against our global ESA Maturity Benchmark Report, providing a unique perspective on your organization's architecture maturity relative to industry peers.
For additional maturity insights, explore our reference and maturity check pages.
Addressing the Enterprise Architectural Gaps
Many enterprise architecture and SAP transformation initiatives focus primarily on delivering the agreed scope drive on time and within budget. As a result, architectural deliverables are often not developed with the required depth, consistency, and quality, leading to architectural gaps, technical debt, and missed business opportunities.
These shortcomings can reduce the long-term value of your business and SAP investments, increase operational complexity, and limit your organization's ability to innovate, scale, and adapt to changing business requirements. A mature Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) approach helps maximize business transformation outcomes and strengthen future readiness.
Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) life-cycle
Our proven ESA life-cycle, based on the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM), aligns business strategy, operating models, E2E processes, (SAP) solution architecture, data architecture, IT service management (ITSM), and people across the solution domains.
By leveraging SAP best practices and predefined E2E architecture services, we help organizations:
- Simplify business and technology complexity
- Improve E2E process efficiency and profitability
- Accelerate business transformation
- Establish a future-ready foundation for AI-enabled operations
ESA Maturity Assessment services
Based on our ESA Life-cycle and, we can assess the maturity of your Enterprise Solution Architecture through a comprehensive framework of 54 assessment questions.
Our assessment helps organizations to:
- Evaluate current ESA maturity levels
- Identify architectural gaps and improvement opportunities
- Benchmark capabilities across key architecture domains
- Define actionable E2E services and improvement initiatives
- Strengthen the architectural foundation for business transformation
Business Transformation Roadmap services
Our Business Transformation Roadmap is based on the design principles of the Intelligent Enterprise and uses the ESA life-cyle to determine potential AI improvements and identify the required E2E architecture services 4 SAP
The success of the business transformation roadmap depends on the delivery of measurable business value that is actively supported by senior business leadership.
Predefined E2E Architectural services 4 SAP
Based on delivered projects we have predefined E2E architectural services supported by SAP capability maps, EA best practices and collaborative EA governance procedures (see blogs)
Together, these E2E services improve the alignment between the 9 disciplines and their stakeholders throughout the business transformation journey.
Our ESA life-cycle expertise for your success
We apply a pragmatic Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) life-cycle strengthening the alignment between business strategy, Target Operating Models (TOM), (SAP) solution architecture, and End-to-End (E2E) business processes.
The value of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is ultimately measured by the ability to implement new business and operating models faster while ensuring successful operational excellence and stakeholder adoption across the company.
To support this vision, we offer 4 core service areas. Together, these 4 services areas provide a structured foundation for architectural excellence and measurable value realization. The overview below highlights our four key service domains;
Architecture Program & ESA Governance Services
Improve alignment of business model with architectural roadmap. and ESA governance to ensure stakholders cooperation and long-term business value.
Business Transformation Management Services (BTM)
Improve business and operating models integration into the architected project portfolio. Project alignment with toolchains for architectural consistency.
Enterprise Application Management Services (EAM)
Improve End-to-End (E2E) business processes and user engagement. Focuses on optimizing application portfolios, and aligning SaaS platforms / API integrations.
Enterprise Information Management Services (EIM)
Improve reporting quality, reduce data inconsistencies, and create AI-ready enterprise master data that supports faster business decisions for innovation projects.
Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) life-cycle services
Our Enterprise Solution Architecture (ESA) consists of 9 key domains / disciplines that exist within most standard IT-enabled business innovation organizations. The structure of the ESA is based on the following life-cycle that takes you through the 9 domains;
- Business model innovation projects with business requirements are planned by the portfolio manager.
- The agreed end-to-end (E2E) business processes determine the application & integration architecture.
- The project is delivered to the IT Service Management (ITSM) organization for ongoing operations and support.
- The Information architecture delivers E2E business performance and AI reports which are used to innovate the business model
Our ESA Life Cycle ensures that enterprise architecture becomes a practical driver of maintainable and integrated project deliverables that supports end-to-end business value, rather than remaining a purely technical discipline.
Many organizations struggle with the alignment of the project deliverables across the 9 disciplines. These challenges are often caused by organizational silos, misalignment between stakeholders, or limited integration of the established 9 domain methodologies. Our ESA maturity check indentifies the misalignment issues and proposes practical solutions.
The framework is actively used by the Dutch SAP User Group (VNSG) to facilitate architecture workshops and to help organizations align business strategy, enterprise architecture, and SAP transformation initiatives. The ESA Life Cycle is illustrated below;
Our Industry 4.0 Business Transformation services
Our Business Transformation Roadmap Services builds on the design principles for an intelligent enterprise. The design principles are the result of an AI business value research project.
The Enterprise Solution Architecture life-cycle is used to translate the 5 design principles into a solution architecture.
The success of the Enterprise Solution Architecture depends on delivering measurable business value, supported and sponsored by the senior business leadership team.
Business transformation results are measured through E2E reporting and business value metrics, including:
- Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV)
- Supplier Spend Analysis (SSA)
- Operational performance indicators
- Digital transformation value realization metrics
The required business transformation capabilities and asociated business value is covered in our E2E services page.
