VNSG workshop on 18 JUNE will also discuss the required Enterprise Architecture GOVERNANCE structure for the SAP autonomous enterprise which requires a shift from centralized control to a collaborative EA governance model, with shared responsibilities across solution architects, supported by strong portfolio and executive sponsorship.
Many organizations already have Enterprise Architecture (EA) governance structures in place.
However, the biggest challenge in large SAP‑driven transformation programs is not the absence of EA governance, but the lack of:
1 Shared ownership across IT solution areas
2 Business commitment to architectural decisions
3 Effective collaboration between architects, portfolio managers, and senior stakeholders
Architectural governance must be perceived as an enabler of business outcomes, not as an IT compliance exercise.
The following picture gives a example how the different solution architects could collaborate and integrate.
