E2E Services that improve your business value and reduce costs
The first step can be an Enterprise Solution Architectural (ESA) maturity assessment with 54 questions across the 9 solution Domains, which checks your E2E solution architecture alignment and people collaboration and will identify your main potential architectural improvements and our E2E services. (see our blogs). The results of the detailed ESA maturity assessment are;
- ESA Maturity Score
- Improvement Recommendations
- Portfolio of E2E services
- ESA Roadmap
- ESA Business Case
For almost every improvement we can propose a E2E service which combines the architectural improvements and required SAP solutions, this can vary from a company tailored E2E SAP workshop or end-user training, a servitization roll-out project plan to a company specific Osterwalder business model with potential business model innovations.
Overview 9 Enterprise Solution Architecture domains
Business Transformation Management services
Business & operating model (BOM);
The business model is used to evaluate the impact of innovations, which can result in adjustments in the operating models and the definition of new strategic business objectives and business requirements
Portfolio & Project Management (PPM);
Project portfolio priorities are based project ROI calculations and business requirements priorities. The standard project charter defines project planning and project solution architecture.
IT Service Management (ITSM);
The deliverables of projects are tracked, tested and documented (ALM). The TCO of solution architecture (CMDB) is monitored and maintained (ITIL standards). The IT platforms are managed and monitored.
Enterprise Application Management services
Business Process Management (BPM);
The Business Process Architecture is the basis for process innovations and training. Template management will manage RFC's and UAT tests. OCM must monitor adoption stakeholders and end-users.
Application Architecture (AA);
The EA strategy is the basis for application portfolio rationalization. Application development according to AI standards. Security and quality standards regularly checked and linked to CMDB data.
Platform Integration (PI);
Integrations (API) are linked to processes and (SaaS) platforms. UI integrated across platforms. E2E workflows based on E2E processes. E2E platform monitoring centralized in ALM platforms.
Enterprise Information Management services
Business Performance (BP);
The business reports analyse & improve E2E processes and input for management KPI dashboards. The E2E process reports support LEAN project innovations and are input for AI business research reports.
Information Architecture (IA);
The BI data model and AI lineage is based on E2E processes. ETL pipelines and integration maps aligned with BI-CC development standards. AI data quality standards aligned with meta data mngt
Data Management (DM);
The data-clusters designs are mapped to solution architecture and input for MDM. MDM manages and secures the access to metadata for ECM data, Asset data, HRM data and transactional data.
