Explore Your Business Architecture and

Technical Capabilities
Most businesses begin transformations because
they need to create a new modern foundation
for their business processes or want to improve
the customer and employee experience. What
stands in the way of this vision is most often a
complex network of processes, legacy software,
and data. In short, it’s difficult for your business
to create an actionable plan for transformation
if you do not have a clear and accurate view of
your existing IT landscape and how it supports
your key business capabilities.
EAM creates a single source of truth that reflects
your business architecture and provides trans-
parency into how it’s connected to your existing
software and IT infrastructure. The solution
reveals up-to-date technical details of your
SAP and third-party software, including depen-
dencies and interconnected interfaces between
applications and IT components. It also shows
you the links between specific technologies and
the capabilities and processes they support.
Use the solution to glean greater insights such
as these and even model the architectural impact
of decommissioning or introducing specific
applications.
All of this can smooth the transformation journey
for employees. Insight into your shifting
technology landscape helps enhance change
management as employees’ relationships and
interactions with technology change amid
continuous transformation.

Strategically
Forward-thinking business leaders use trans-
formation as an opportunity to rethink and
reshape their IT landscapes. EAM helps your
business approach transformation proactively
and holistically. With it, you can begin thinking
about transformation as an opportunity rather
than a challenge. Use EAM to create an effec-
tive strategy that considers all parts of your IT
landscape, without leaving out any solutions or
processes.
EAM enables new levels of collaboration at
crucial moments before and during the continuous
transformation of your business. For instance,
during planning, users inside and outside of
your company networks can use EAM and par-
ticipate in architectural reviews. The maps and
diagrams your business creates with EAM help
business and IT users collaborate as they dissect
their ecosystem of applications, interfaces, and
data exchange protocols.

tions from SAP follow the SAP Activate method-
ology. SAP Activate outlines the following six
steps to a successful transformation with best
practices that guide implementation, configu-
ration, and more:

inventory that streamlines the process of
exploring the as-is enterprise architecture –
identifying key stakeholders, dependencies,
and risks.

rable landscape reports. These reports play a
crucial role in mapping business capabilities
to value drivers.
⦁ Explore – EAM interface maps and data-flow
diagrams offer insight to identify gaps, make
changes, and design workflow processes for
the target architecture. These maps support
collaboration between business and IT users.
⦁ Realize – EAM delivers in-depth functionality,
including timeline sequencing and scenario
planning, to help dissect fast-changing IT
landscapes.

completed architecture changes, which are
instantly added to the architecture documen-
tation.
⦁ Run – EAM includes comprehensive tools to
monitor the technical and functional fit of
architectural elements. As business demands
and technical needs evolve, the insights
captured by EAM guide ongoing improvement
efforts.
