#EnterpriseArchitecture Office (EAO): 50 Questions for the Leadership Since the last few months, I have been receiving many queries on Enterprise Architecture from various sectors (including #Industry40, Finance and #Banking, #Healthcare, National Overall Ref Architecture NORA, Saudi Arabia). Leadership faces a lot of challenges when setting up their EAO like lack of stakeholders buy-in, shortage of skills and talent, alignment with business goals, complex IT landscape, selecting the right tools and framework, focusing on planning rather than action etc. Right ‘hand holding’ from the “Right Expertise” is MUST to ensure the success of the EAO. Below is the list of questions leadership should contemplate before working on their EA initiatives: Strategic Alignment: 1.   What are our top 3-5 strategic business goals? 2.   How will the EAO directly contribute to achieving these goals? 3.   Does leadership have a clear vision for the role of EA? 4.   Is there a strong sponsor at the executive level for the EA office? 5.   How will the EA office integrate with existing business units and IT departments? Scope & Responsibilities: 6.   What specific areas of IT and business will the EA office focus on (e.g., tech architecture, data architecture, application architecture)? 7.   What level of centralization is desired for EA decisions? 8.   Will the EA office enforce architecture standards or provide more of a consultative role? 9.   How will the EA office measure its success? 10. What are the expected benefits and ROI for establishing an EA office? Organizational Structure & Resources: 11. What is the ideal size and structure for the EA office? 12. What skills and expertise are needed for the EA team members? 13. How will the EA office be staffed (internal or external hires, or both)? 14. What budget and resources will be allocated to the EA office? 15. What tools and technologies are needed to support the EA practice?(e.g., modeling tools, architecture repositories)? 16. How will the EA office leverage existing IT systems and data sources? EAO Governance: 17. Who will be the stakeholders involved in the EAO (business units, IT, etc.)? 18. What level of authority will the EAO have? 19. How will decisions be made within the EAO? 20. What processes will the EA office establishes for architecture governance and decision-making? EAO Functions & Responsibilities: 21. What core functions will the EAO be responsible for (e.g., ref architecture, tech roadmap)? 22. Will the EAO be responsible for IT standards and compliance? 23. How will the EAO interact with existing IT teams (development, operations)? Skills & Resources: 24. What skillsets are needed within the EAO? 25. How will we staff the EAO (internal hires, external consultants)? 26. What is the budget allocated for establishing and running the EAO?

SAP Implementation Journey – Part 2 Successful SAP implementation of SAP starts with a productive kick-off meeting that defines the objectives of SAP implementation, Top Management’s commitment, Assurance of Core Team Members’ dedicated time, Confirmation of Scope, Milestones, etc. In the next phase, “fit to standard”, the users and consultants will discuss with each other to understand the business needs and the best practices in SAP. Preparation for the “fit to standard” phase by users: -     Checklist of all business “needs” covering Process requirements, Workflow, Layouts, and Reports. This will help them to ensure coverage of all business needs. -     Users should be able to explain their processes to the consultants clearly. -     They should have the attitude to appreciate the inputs from the consultants. -     Users should believe that there may be a better solution in SAP than what they expect to meet their business needs. So, they should be open-minded. Preparation for the “fit to standard” phase by the Consultants: -     Consultants should appreciate that the SAP is a new user system. Instead of using SAP terminologies, Consultants should use the business terminologies and slowly move onto the SAP terminologies. -     There will be a high probability of the users saying “YES” or “NO” without understanding what exactly SAP can contribute to the requirements. Consultants should spend quality time with users to link the business needs and SAP functions to get the buy-in from users. -     Consultants should try to convince the users how SAP functionalities will help to perform the business processes in a productive way which will improve the users’ efficiency and in turn possible career growth. Execution of the “fit to standard” phase by both Usera and Consultants: -     Prepare a detailed Business Process Master List (BPML) and keep it as a reference. -     BPML should be compared with the Business Requirement List and mapped. -     Include the following to monitor the progress of the Processes and Reports: o  Discussed Points o  Demonstrated o  Standard o  Workaround o  Customization Management of both User and Partner organizations should monitor the progress and resolve the differences then and there. This may be done with an internal SAP specialist (hired specifically for the project) or an external consultant. With a well-defined BPML list, because of detailed discussions between Users and Consultants, performing the next phase “Blueprint Preparation” will be a smooth one and will be a strong base and guide to follow throughout the project.

The 'practical guide for senior IT leadership' is a document that should be read by anyone looking to build awareness on how to approach #s4migrations systematically. It is a very detailed document (136 pages), but the authors have articulated the concepts and approach in a very structured and easy-to-understand fashion. As someone associated with several #migration projects in different capacities, I kept nodding as I read. Both, when I noticed that we had followed the suggested approach - and reaped the benefits - and when a section made me reminisce the struggles due to the sins of the past; you know what I mean. So, regardless of the fact that you may not be a 'senior' or a 'leader', make use of this practical guide to get a wholistic understanding of the migration process. #Invest the time to read every page, perhaps, prioritizing what is most relevant to you first. But do read it top to bottom; or end-to-end, if you like a printed version. See comments for the document link and key excerpts.
