Evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., SAP BTP, cloud-native platforms, AI, IT4IT tools) through proof-of-concept initiatives to inform the roadmap. Maintain architecture tools and repositories (e.g., SAP PowerDesigner, LeanIX, iServer) to support governance and portfolio management. Guide domain, platform, and solution architects to ensure architectural alignment. Drive the Architecture Community of Practice to foster collaboration and share trends and best practices. Develop and document architecture standards and guidelines, including SAP- and IT4IT-specific best practices. Communicate architecture strategies and business drivers clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. Manage the application portfolio, identifying SAP upgrade needs, IT4IT enhancements, and new technology opportunities. Support the Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) to ensure application and data availability during critical operations. Provide guidance through review boards and influence design and implementation practices to maintain consistency and quality. Identify and address areas for improvement in current architectures, incorporating enhancements into roadmaps.
