With SAP LeanIX we build a living map of your applications, what they cost and how they connect, so you can simplify before you migrate. Then we design the integration, API and data architecture that keeps every system connected.
Living map
every application, what it costs and how it connects
SAP LeanIX
enterprise architecture management from SAP
Simplify first
retire and consolidate before you migrate
Connected
integration, API and data architecture across every system
You can’t simplify what you can’t see. Most landscapes hold more applications, more interfaces and more cost than anyone realises.
What we architect
Choose an area to see the problems we solve, what we deliver and the tools we use.
Application landscape
The problem
- No complete list of applications and owners
- Overlapping tools doing the same job
- Licence and run costs nobody can explain
What we deliver
- Application landscape mapping with SAP LeanIX
- Owners, costs, users and lifecycle for each application
- Overlaps and retirement candidates
- Third-party system landscape assessment
- SAP LeanIX
- Application portfolio management
The result: A living map of your landscape, and a list of what to retire.
Integration architecture
The problem
- Point-to-point interfaces between many systems
- No standards for new integrations
- Old middleware with unclear future
What we deliver
- Enterprise integration architecture design
- CPI and BTP integration roadmap and standards
- Integration patterns and governance
- Middleware migration plan
- SAP Integration Suite
- SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology
- SAP LeanIX
The result: An integration landscape that is simple, standard and secure.
API and events
The problem
- Partners and apps connected in different ways
- No rules for who may use which API
- Batch jobs where real time is needed
What we deliver
- API strategy and integration governance framework
- API design standards and lifecycle
- Event-driven architecture design with SAP
- Security and access model for APIs
- API Management
- SAP Event Mesh
- SAP BTP
The result: Controlled, reusable APIs and real-time events.
Data architecture
The problem
- The same data held in many systems
- No owner for customer, supplier or material data
- Reports that don’t agree
What we deliver
- Data flow and master data strategy
- MDG strategy: central, consolidated or hybrid
- Data ownership model
- Target data platform for analytics and AI
- SAP Master Data Governance
- SAP Datasphere
- SAP Business Data Cloud
The result: One source of truth for each kind of data.
Target architecture and roadmap
The problem
- No agreed picture of where the landscape should go
- Projects designed in isolation
- Migration plans that ignore dependencies
What we deliver
- Target architecture aligned to business capabilities
- Clean-core architecture for SAP
- Transformation roadmap with dependencies
- Architecture governance for new projects
- SAP LeanIX
- SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework
- SAP BTP
The result: Every project moves the landscape in the same direction.

Frequently asked questions
What is SAP LeanIX?
SAP's enterprise architecture management solution. It keeps a living inventory of applications, their owners, costs, interfaces and lifecycle.
Why map the landscape before an SAP migration?
Because many applications can be retired or consolidated first. That makes the migration smaller, cheaper and less risky.
Do you design integration and API standards?
Yes. We design integration architecture, API strategy and governance, and event-driven architecture on SAP Integration Suite and SAP BTP.
Does this include master data?
Yes. We design data flows, master data ownership and the right SAP Master Data Governance set-up for you.
