SAP Landscape Design

Your SAP landscape wasn't designed for what it needs to do today.

Sounds familiar?

The challenges that bring teams to us usually aren't new — but they're hard to solve from inside.

The landscape grew organically

ECC, BW, PI/PO, Solution Manager, maybe a Java stack — added over a decade, each with its own lifecycle. Dependencies between systems are unclear, and every upgrade feels like a risk nobody wants to own.

S/4HANA isn't just a technical upgrade

It changes the data model, breaks custom extensions, and forces integration rethinks. Starting without a target architecture means discovering problems mid-migration — when fixing them is expensive.

Cloud and on-premises aren't either/or

BTP, RISE with SAP, private cloud, hyperscaler hosting — the options multiply, but your compliance constraints, data residency rules, and existing investments don't go away. Which hybrid model actually fits your situation?

Nobody owns the architecture end-to-end

The Basis team knows the runtime layer, developers know their modules, the integration team knows the middleware. But who sees how it all connects — and what breaks when one piece changes?

What landscape consulting delivers

Not a slide deck with best practices — a concrete architecture for your situation.

A clear picture of what you have

Complete inventory of systems, interfaces, dependencies, and technical debt. The foundation for any decision about what to keep, consolidate, or replace.

A target architecture that accounts for constraints

Not a greenfield fantasy. A realistic target state that factors in your timelines, your team's capabilities, your compliance requirements, and your budget.

Documented decisions and a roadmap you can execute

Every technology decision with the rationale behind it — S/4HANA strategy, BTP scope, integration patterns. Sequenced into phases with dependency-aware ordering, so your teams have a working plan, not a 200-page shelf document.

Where we go deep

SAP landscape design is broad. These are the areas where our experience is most concentrated.

S/4HANA Landscape Planning

Before you convert or reimplement: target architecture, data model impact analysis, extension strategy, and integration redesign.

NetWeaver & Java Stack Assessment

NW Java end-of-maintenance is approaching. PI/PO needs a successor. Solution Manager is being rethought. Each system needs a concrete migration path.

BTP & Hybrid Integration Design

Which workloads belong on BTP, which stay on-premises, and how do they talk to each other? Integration architecture for landscapes that span both worlds.

BTP service selection and sizing
Cloud Connector and Private Link setup
Event-driven architecture with SAP Event Mesh
Identity federation and principal propagation

System Consolidation & Simplification

Fewer systems, fewer interfaces, lower TCO. When your landscape has grown beyond what's justifiable, we help you find what can be retired, merged, or replaced.

Not only SAP

SAP doesn't exist in isolation. We design landscapes that include everything your SAP systems connect to.

ERP Integration Layer

Salesforce, Dynamics 365, industry-specific systems — integration architecture that treats SAP as part of a larger ecosystem, not the center of everything.

Identity & Access

Entra ID, LDAP, SAP IdM, Cloud Identity Services — unified identity architecture across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Infrastructure & Operations

On-premises, hyperscaler, private cloud — hosting and operations architecture that supports your availability and compliance requirements.
