Maximize the value of your Enterprise Architecture and ERP landscape with our
ESA Maturity Assessment
Discover how a higher overal ESA maturity level can maximize the value of your Enterprise Architecture and SAP landscape.
The ESA Maturity Assessment delivers a detailed analysis of your current maturity level within the 9 ESA Solution Domains, including specific improvement opportunities and recommendations. The ESA Maturity Assessment is covering 54 topics
The ESA maturity assessment can provide a structured ESA roadmap covering the following potential improvements;
- Enhanced end-to-end process efficiency and transparency
- Increased business process agility and innovation readiness with autonomous business AI agents
- Reduced application architecture complexity
- Reduced integration architecture complexity
- Improved ALM & ITSM template management
- Aligned meta master data management for AI-ready enterprise data
- Improved BI E2E data lineage for quality reporting
- Improved E2E process reporting for improved process innovations and LEAN optimizations
- Improved business model E2E KPI reporting management dashboard
- Prioritized roadmap for SAP transformation and innovation with E2E business case (using SAP VLM best practices)
The ESA roadmap must contain a balanced selection of the proposed improvements to optimize the project alignment and business value and must be supported by Architecture Program & EA Governance Services together with portfolio and project management.
ESA maturity levels
The higher the ESA maturity level (alignment) across the different parts of your organization, the greater the benefits you will achieve through standardization, integration, and economies of scale.
The ESA maturity levels are:
- Individual Formalization (Level 1)
- Project Harmonization (Level 2)
- Domain Standardization (Level 3)
- Domain Integration (Level 4)
- Company collaboration Optimization (Level 5)
These maturity levels are derived from the CMMI maturity model and are applied to the 9 Solution Domains of the ESA Framework.
For a detailed assessment of your organization's current maturity level, including strengths, improvement opportunities, and recommendations, the ESA Maturity Assessment is required.
Based on our ESA maturity assessment report the average maturity level of many companies is around 2.5 (see our references)
Ideal for organizations looking to maximize the value of their SAP landscape
We can assess your E2E process performance and business transformation roadmap , the existing integrated SAP ALM/ITSM toolchain and the utilization of the SAP solution architecture
We start with an Enterprise Solution Architecture maturity check to identify the scope of the ESA maturity assessment.
We have executed ESA maturity assessments at e.g. ; Akzo, Heineken, Friesland Campina and created a blog which analyzes the maturity trends across (healtcare) industries and company sizes. (see our references)
The on-line ESA Maturity Check provides a quick and high-level indication of your current maturity level across the 9 Solution Domains. We use this ESA maturity check to update our global ESA maturity report which gives an overview what the ESA priorities within the different lines of industries are.
ESA Business Value and Stakeholder Alignment
ESA business value is not determined by the sophistication of technology itself, but by its contribution to a higher overall alignment of the 9 domains and the value it delivers to support of stakeholder business objectives.
Each ESA domain area has its own stakeholder, with specific business goals, priorities, and success criteria. As a result, the value of Enterprise Solution Architecture should always be measured in terms of E2E business alignment and outcomes rather than technical capabilities alone.
Within the ESA Framework the domain stakeholders must understand the objectives of every domain area. Alignment of stakeholder objectives is essential for determining the required company maturity level and evaluating the business value delivered by the architecture.
Why Our ESA Maturity Assessment Is Unique
Our ESA Maturity Assessment is unique because it combines broad expertise in SAP solution capabilities, Enterprise Architecture (EA), and IT Service Management (ITSM).
By leveraging this synergy we provide a holistic and in-depth assessment of your current maturity level across the ESA Framework.
We have a track record (see our maturity report) of successful online ESA maturity checks and company maturity assessments (see our references).
Our ESA Maturity Assessment evaluates how your SAP landscape, architectural governance, and IT service management capabilities work together to support stakeholder objectives and drive sustainable business outcomes.
