Business Model Canvas

Explanation
A Business Model Canvas is a strategic management and entrepreneurial tool that allows you to describe, design, challenge, invent, and pivot your business model1. A Business Model Canvas consists of nine building blocks that cover the four main areas of a business: customers, offer, infrastructure, and financial viability2.
These building blocks are:
Value Proposition: The value that you deliver to your customers and the problem that you solve for them.
Customer Segments: The different groups of people or organizations that you aim to reach and serve.
Channels: The ways that you communicate with and deliver value to your customers.
Customer Relationships: The types of relationships that you establish and maintain with your customers.
Revenue Streams: The sources of income that you generate from your value proposition.
Key Resources: The most important assets that you need to create and deliver your value proposition.
Key Activities: The most important things that you do to create and deliver your value proposition.
Key Partnerships: The network of suppliers and partners that help you create and deliver your value proposition.
Cost Structure: The most significant costs that you incur to create and deliver your value proposition.
A Business Model Canvas is a useful artifact to bring all the key dimensions of the Smart Battery initiative together in a single window, to have a unified, consistent, holistic view of the initiative. By using a Business Model Canvas, you can:
Visualize the entire business model of the Smart Battery initiative on one page.
Identify the gaps, inconsistencies, or conflicts among the different elements of the business model.
Align the value proposition, cost structure, revenue streams, partners, and channels with the customer segments and their needs.
Test and validate your assumptions and hypotheses about the business model.
Iterate and improve your business model based on feedback and data.

Q13. Green Elk & Company is the world’s leading manufacturer of agricultural and forestry machinery. The former company slogan “Eik always runs has recently been changed to “Eik feeds the world” One of Green Elk’s strategic goals is to increase its revenue in the emerging markets of China, India, and other parts of Asia by 80 % within three years. This requires a new business model that caters to significantly smaller farms with limited budgets You are the Chief Enterprise Architect and the decision was taken to implement regional S/4HANA productive systems while ensuring a high degree of standardization.
Which of the following implementation approach would you consider best in this case?

Phased by Application

Big Bang

Small buck

Phased by Company

Explanation
The best implementation approach for Green Elk & Company in this case is the phased by company approach.
This approach involves implementing S/4HANA in one company or business unit at a time, while keeping the existing ERP systems running for the rest of the organization. This approach has several advantages for Green Elk & Company, such as:
It allows them to focus on the specific requirements and challenges of each regional market, such as China, India, and other parts of Asia, and tailor the S/4HANA solution accordingly.
It reduces the risk and complexity of the implementation by limiting the scope and impact of each phase, and enabling faster testing and validation of the S/4HANA system.
It facilitates the adoption and change management of S/4HANA by providing a gradual and smooth transition for the users and stakeholders, and allowing them to learn from the experiences and best practices of each phase.
It ensures a high degree of standardization across the organization by leveraging the SAP Activate methodology, which provides a common framework, tools, and accelerators for S/4HANA implementations.
The other options (A, B, C) are not the best implementation approaches for Green Elk & Company in this case, because they have some drawbacks, such as:
Phased by application: This approach involves implementing S/4HANA by functional area or module, such as finance, logistics, or human resources. This approach is not suitable for Green Elk & Company because it would create inconsistencies and integration issues between the S/4HANA and ERP systems, and it would not address the specific needs and challenges of each regional market.
Big bang: This approach involves implementing S/4HANA for the entire organization at once, replacing all the existing ERP systems. This approach is not suitable for Green Elk & Company because it would entail a high risk and complexity of the implementation, and it would require a massive effort and investment in terms of time, resources, and change management.
Small buck: This approach involves implementing S/4HANA for a small subset of users or processes within a company or business unit. This approach is not suitable for Green Elk & Company because it would limit the benefits and value of S/4HANA, and it would not support their strategic goal of increasing their revenue in the emerging markets.

Q14. Which programming model would you suggest that ABAP developers use when SAP extensions should be built following the clean-core strategy?

SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP)

SAP Classic Extensibility model

RESTful Application Programming (RAP)

Q15. Which artifact from the SAP Reference Solution Architecture shows which data objects are exchanged between SAP application components in a given end-to-end scenario?

SAP Data Object Diagram, which is available from SAP API Business Accelerator Hub (api.sap.com)

SAP Data Flow Diagram, which is available from SAP API Business Accelerator Hub (api sap.com)

SAP Data Component Diagram, which is available in SAP Signavio Process Explorer

Explanation
The SAP Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is an artifact from the SAP Reference Solution Architecture that shows which data objects are exchanged between SAP application components in a given end-to-end scenario. The DFD uses a graphical representation to show the flow of data between different components of a system.
The SAP Data Object Diagram (DOD) is also an artifact from the SAP Reference Solution Architecture, but it does not show the flow of data between different components. The DOD shows the structure of data objects, including their attributes and relationships.
The SAP Data Component Diagram (DCD) is an artifact from SAP Signavio Process Explorer, which is a tool for modeling business processes. The DCD shows the different components of a system, including their relationships.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
Here is a table that summarizes the different artifacts and their purposes:

According to the SAP Reference Architecture Content: An Overview – Part 2 , the SAP Data Flow Diagram is an artifact that shows the flow of data through the SAP solution, from the source to the destination. It also shows which data objects are exchanged between the different components and services of the SAP solution, such as master data, transactional data, analytical data, or configuration data. The SAP Data Flow Diagram can help you to understand and communicate how data is created, transformed, and consumed in a SAP solution, and to identify and optimize the data integration points and dependencies.
The other options (A and C) are not correct for the artifact from the SAP Reference Solution Architecture that shows which data objects are exchanged between SAP application components in a given end-to-end scenario, because they either do not exist or do not show the data flow. For example:
Option A is not correct because there is no such artifact as SAP Data Object Diagram in the SAP Reference Solution Architecture content. The SAP API Business Accelerator Hub (api.sap.com) is a platform that provides access to SAP APIs, events, and related resources, but it does not provide any diagrams that show the data objects exchanged between SAP application components.
Option C is not correct because the SAP Data Component Diagram is not an artifact that shows the data flow, but rather an artifact that shows the main components and services that constitute the target application architecture, as well as their relationships and interactions. The SAP Data Component Diagram does not show which data objects are exchanged between the different components and services of the SAP solution. The SAP Signavio Process Explorer is a tool that helps you to model, analyze, and optimize business processes, but it does not provide any diagrams that show the data flow.

This requires a new business model that caters to significantly smaller farms with limited budgets. You are the Chief Enterprise Architect and the CIO asks you to assess the new business model for smaller farms with smaller budgets. Given the principle and statement, which of the following combinations of rationale and implication do you consider well-defined?

Principle: Use packaged solutions, in a standard way. Statement: Buy packaged solutions that support our business requirements and use them in a standard way. Rationale: Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way./Adherence to standard will allow better maintenance and lower the total cost of ownership/Increase the capability to adopt technology innovation. Implication: Reuse vendor and industry best practices, reference architectures and pre- decreed content/Apply guideless, patterns, standards, and naming conventions/Use maximum possible solution standards and avoid custom developments wherever possible.

Principle: Use packaged solutions, in a standard way. Statement: Buy packaged solutions that support our business requirements and use them in a standard way. Rationale: In case custom developments arc required, adhere to defined best practices, standards, and guide ivies (extensibility concept, side-by-s-de extensions)/Reuse before buy, before build/Enable easier future transition to the cloud. Implication:
Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way/Adherence to standard will allow better maintenance and lower the total cost of ownership/Increase the capability to adopt technology innovation.

Principle: Use packaged solutions, in a standard way. Statement: Buy packaged solutions that support our business requirements and use them in a standard way. Rationale: Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way/Adherence to standard will allow better maintenance and lower the total cost of ownership/Increase the capability to adopt technology innovation. Implication: In case custom developments are required, adhere to defined best practices, standards, and guidelines (extensibility concept, side by s4e extensions)/Reuse before buy, before build/Enable easier transition to the cloud in the future

Explanation
The rationale and implication in this combination are well-defined because they both support the principle of using packaged solutions in a standard way. The rationale explains the benefits of using packaged solutions, while the implication outlines the steps that need to be taken to ensure that packaged solutions are used in a standard way.
According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, which is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP that helps enterprise architects define and implement an architecture strategy for their organizations, a principle is a general rule or guideline that expresses a fundamental value or belief, and that guides the design and implementation of the architecture. A principle consists of four elements:
a name, a statement, a rationale, and an implication. The name is a short and memorable label that summarizes the principle. The statement is a concise and precise description of the principle. The rationale is an explanation of why the principle is important and beneficial for the organization. The implication is a description of the consequences or impacts of applying or not applying the principle.
The principle in option D is:
Name: Use packaged solutions, in a standard way.
Statement: Buy packaged solutions that support our business requirements and use them in a standard way.
Rationale: Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way.
Adherence to standard will allow better maintenance and lower the total cost of ownership. Increase the capability to adopt technology innovation.
Implication: In case custom developments are required, adhere to defined best practices, standards, and guidelines (extensibility concept, side-by-side extensions). Reuse before buy, before build. Enable easier transition to the cloud in the future.
This combination of rationale and implication is well-defined because it clearly and logically explains the benefits and consequences of following or not following the principle. The rationale shows how using packaged solutions in a standard way can simplify the process and solution, reduce the cost and effort of maintenance, and increase the ability to adopt new technologies. The implication shows how custom developments should be minimized and standardized, how reuse should be preferred over buying or building new solutions, and how cloud readiness should be considered for future scalability.
The other options (A, B, C) are not correct for the combination of rationale and implication that is well-defined because they either mix up or confuse some of the elements of the principle. For example:
Option A is not correct because it mixes up the rationale and implication elements. The first sentence of the rationale (“Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way”) is actually an implication of following the principle, not a reason for following it. The first sentence of the implication (“Reuse vendor and industry best practices, reference architectures and pre-delivered content”) is actually a rationale for following the principle, not a consequence of following it.
Option B is not correct because it confuses the rationale and implication elements. The first sentence of the rationale (“In case custom developments are required, adhere to defined best practices, standards, and guidelines (extensibility concept, side-by-side extensions)”) is actually an implication of following the principle, not a reason for following it. The first sentence of the implication (“Process and solution will be simplified by using packaged software in a standard way”) is actually a rationale for following the principle, not a consequence of following it.
Option C is not correct because it confuses the rationale and implication elements. The second sentence of the rationale (“Adherence to standard will allow better maintenance and lower the total cost of ownership”) is actually an implication of following the principle, not a reason for following it. The second sentence of the implication (“Reuse before buy, before build”) is actually a rationale for following the principle, not a consequence of following it.

One of Green Elk’s strategic goals is to increase its revenue in the emerging markets of China, India, and other parts of Asia by 80 % within three years. This requires a new business model that caters to significantly smaller farms with limited budgets. You are the Chief Enterprise Architect and the CIO asks you to assess the now business model for smaller farms with smaller budgets. By applying the Sustainable Business Model Canvas, which sequence of steps is best practice?

1. Assess and define the cost structure and revenue streams
2 Define the customer segments and value propositions
3. Detail the customer relationships and channels
4. Identify relevant key activities key resources, and partners
5. Define the eco-social benefits and costs.

1. Assess and define the key resources, key activities, and partners
2 Define the customer segments and value propositions.
3. Detail the customer relationships and channels.
4. Define the revenue streams and cost structure.
5. Define the eco-social benefits and costs.

1. Assess and define the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment.
2. Detail the customer relationships and channels.
3. Identify relevant key activities, key resources, and partners.
4.Define the revenue streams and cost structure.
5. Define the eco-social benefits and costs.

Explanation
According to the Sustainable Business Model Canvas, which is a tool that helps entrepreneurs to design and communicate their business models in a sustainable way, the recommended sequence of steps is:
Assess and define the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment. This step involves defining and describing the products or services that Green Elk & Company offers to its target customers, and how they create value for them. The value propositions should address the needs, problems, or desires of the customers, and highlight the benefits or advantages of Green Elk & Company’s solutions over the alternatives.
Detail the customer relationships and channels. This step involves defining and describing how Green Elk & Company interacts with its customers, and how it reaches and delivers its products or services to them. The customer relationships should reflect the type and level of engagement that Green Elk & Company wants to establish and maintain with its customers, such as self-service, personal assistance, or community. The channels should reflect the most effective and efficient ways to communicate and distribute Green Elk & Company’s value propositions to its customers, such as online platforms, physical stores, or partners.
Identify relevant key activities, key resources, and partners. This step involves identifying and describing the main activities, resources, and partners that Green Elk & Company needs to perform and leverage to create and deliver its value propositions to its customers. The key activities should reflect the most important tasks or processes that Green Elk & Company undertakes to execute its business model, such as production, marketing, or sales. The key resources should reflect the most essential assets or inputs that Green Elk & Company requires to execute its business model, such as human, physical, financial, or intellectual resources. The key partners should reflect the most strategic relationships or collaborations that Green Elk & Company establishes with other entities to execute its business model, such as suppliers, distributors, or competitors.
Define the revenue streams and cost structure. This step involves defining and describing how Green Elk & Company generates income from its customers, and how much it spends to execute its business model. The revenue streams should reflect the sources and mechanisms of income that Green Elk & Company obtains from selling its products or services to its customers, such as sales, subscriptions, or fees. The cost structure should reflect the types and amounts of expenses that Green Elk & Company incurs to execute its business model, such as fixed costs, variable costs, or economies of scale.
Define the eco-social benefits and costs. This step involves defining and describing how Green Elk & Company contributes to or affects the environment and society through its business model. The eco-social benefits should reflect the positive impacts or externalities that Green Elk & Company creates for the environment and society through its products or services, such as reducing emissions, improving health, or enhancing education. The eco-social costs should reflect the negative impacts or externalities that Green Elk & Company causes for the environment and society through its products or services, such as increasing waste, depleting resources, or harming biodiversity.
The other options (A and B) are not correct for the sequence of steps to apply the Sustainable Business Model Canvas, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in this tool. For example:
Option A is not correct because it does not include assessing and defining the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment, which is a crucial step to understand and communicate how Green Elk & Company creates value for its customers. It also suggests defining the cost structure and revenue streams before defining the customer segments and value propositions, which is not a logical order since the latter determine the former.
Option B is not correct because it does not include identifying relevant key activities, key resources, and partners, which are important aspects of executing a business model. It also suggests retrieving the documentation for the solutions that need to be integrated instead of assessing and defining the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment, which is not relevant for designing a new business model.

Q18. As part of the mapping of a Business Architecture to the Solution Architecture, an Environment & Location Diagram must be developed in the Technology Architecture phase. In this context, numerous architecture decisions have to be made. Among other things, you must check which SAP BTP services and which SAP SaaS solutions are available as part of the Solution Architecture in which data center of the desired hyperscaler. How do you go about this validation?

I use the SAP Business Accelerator Hub (api.sap.com) because it provides all the required information regarding SAP BTP service and SAP SaaS solution availability for each hyperscaler, in a central location.

I use the SAP Discovery Center to check which of the selected SAP BTP services are offered by which hyperscaler. With help from the SAP Trust Center, I check in which data center the involved SAP SaaS solutions are available.

I use the SAP Discovery Center to check in which data centers the respective SAP BTP services and the SAP SaaS solutions are available.

Explanation
According to the SAP Discovery Center 1 and the SAP Trust Center 2, the steps involved in this validation are:
Use the SAP Discovery Center to check which of the selected SAP BTP services are offered by which hyperscaler. The SAP Discovery Center is a platform that provides access to SAP BTP services, events, and related resources, and helps you to implement your use cases on SAP BTP with step-by-step guidance and support from topic experts and SAP Community. In the Service Catalog section of the SAP Discovery Center, you can browse and filter the available SAP BTP services by category, region, or hyperscaler. You can also compare the features and pricing of different services, and learn how to use them in your projects.
Use the SAP Trust Center to check in which data center the involved SAP SaaS solutions are available.
The SAP Trust Center is a platform that provides information on cloud performance, security, privacy, and compliance. In the Certification and Compliance section of the SAP Trust Center, you can find certificates, reports, and attestations that show how SAP meets various industry standards and regulatory requirements. You can also filter the documents by solution, region, or hyperscaler, and download them for your reference.
The other options (A and C) are not correct for how to validate the availability of SAP BTP services and SAP SaaS solutions in the desired hyperscaler’s data center, because they either do not exist or do not provide the required information. For example:
Option A is not correct because there is no such platform as SAP Business Accelerator Hub (api.sap.com) that provides all the required information regarding SAP BTP service and SAP SaaS solution availability for each hyperscaler. The correct name of the platform is SAP API Business Hub (api.sap.com), which is a platform that provides access to SAP APIs, events, and related resources, but it does not provide any information on the availability of SAP BTP services or SAP SaaS solutions for each hyperscaler or data center.
Option C is not correct because the SAP Discovery Center does not provide any information on the availability of SAP SaaS solutions for each hyperscaler or data center. The SAP Discovery Center only provides information on the availability of SAP BTP services for each hyperscaler or region, but not for specific data centers. To check the availability of SAP SaaS solutions for each data center, you need to use the SAP Trust Center instead.

Q19. As Chief Enterprise Architect, you want to select an extension option that follows SAP’s clean-core strategy. What are your recommendations to implement the clean-core strategy best?

To follow the clean-core strategy, the so-called “Developer Extensibility” of S/4HANA isn’t allowed.
Extensions must use “Side-by-Side Extensibility” on the SAP Business Technology Platform. These extensions use corresponding public remote APIs of the S/4HANA backend system.

Follow SAP’s Tier 1 to Tier 2 extension model, which enables different extension options: Cloud Extensibility Model and Cloud API Enablement. This allows the development of cloud- ready and upgrade-stable applications and extensions.

Use “Key User Extensibility” functions of S/4HANA for simple extensions. “Developer Extensibility must comply with the rules for a Tier-1 or Tier-2 extension.

Use of public local APIs or public remote APIs for “Developer Extensibility.

Q20. When creating an application architecture roadmap, the WHAT and WHERE are defined in a rather straightforward way, while the WHOM may differ by context. Multiple roadmap clusters may apply a variety of WHOM dimensions. For example, procurement vs. asset management. Which of the following definitions are correct? Note. There are 3 correct answers to this question.

Asset Classes/Vehicles, Production Machines, Office Equipment

Material Groups/Products, raw materials. Spare parts/Direct Materials, indirect materials

Groups of Persons/Permanent Staff, Contracted Staff, Students/Business Expense/Operational expenditure/Capital expenditure

Working model/Home office, head quarter, affiliate

Explanation
The WHOM dimension of an application architecture roadmap defines the different groups of stakeholders or users that are involved in or affected by the application. The WHOM dimension can vary depending on the context and the scope of the roadmap. For example, in the context of procurement vs. asset management, the WHOM dimension could include material groups/products, groups of persons, and working model as possible clusters. These clusters represent different categories of items, people, and locations that are relevant for the procurement and asset management processes. For example:
Material groups/products: This cluster could include different types of materials or products that are procured or managed by the organization, such as raw materials, spare parts, direct materials, or indirect materials. These categories could have different requirements, standards, or regulations that affect the application architecture.
Groups of persons: This cluster could include different types of people that are involved in or benefit from the procurement and asset management processes, such as permanent staff, contracted staff, or students. These groups could have different roles, responsibilities, or access rights that affect the application architecture.
Working model: This cluster could include different modes or locations of work that are supported by the procurement and asset management processes, such as home office, head quarter, or affiliate. These modes or locations could have different technical, legal, or organizational implications that affect the application architecture.
The other option (A) is not a correct definition of a WHOM dimension cluster, because it does not represent a group of stakeholders or users, but rather a group of assets or resources that are managed by the organization.
Asset classes/vehicles, production machines, and office equipment are examples of WHAT dimension clusters, which define the different types of assets or resources that are relevant for the application architecture.

Define the eco-social benefits and costs. This step involves defining and describing how Green Elk & Company contributes to or affects the environment and society through its business model. The eco-social benefits should reflect the positive impacts or externalities that Green Elk & Company creates for the environment and society through its products or services, such as reducing emissions, improving health, or enhancing education. The eco-social costs should reflect the negative impacts or externalities that Green Elk & Company causes for the environment and society through its products or services, such as increasing waste, depleting resources, or harming biodiversity.
The other options (A, B, D) are not correct for the sequence of steps to apply the Sustainable Business Model Canvas, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in this tool. For example:
Option A is not correct because it does not include assessing and defining the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment, which is a crucial step to understand and communicate how Green Elk & Company creates value for its customers. It also suggests defining the cost structure and revenue streams before defining the customer segments and value propositions, which is not a logical order since the latter determine the former.
Option B is not correct because it does not include identifying relevant key activities, key resources, and partners, which are important aspects of executing a business model. It also suggests retrieving the documentation for the solutions that need to be integrated instead of assessing and defining the value propositions for the small size farms customer segment, which is not relevant for designing a new business model.
Option D is not correct because it suggests assessing and defining the eco-social costs and benefits before defining the customer segments and value propositions, which is not a logical order since the latter determine the former. It also does not include detailing the customer relationships and channels, which are important aspects of delivering value to customers.

Q23. Why is it useful to create Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain?

They structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes to existing independent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Considered applications/solutions do NOT depend on the existence of others.

They reduce the total number of solution components in the target state of complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing applications and/or rollout of new applications.
All applications/solutions do NOT depend on the existence of others.

They structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Some applications/solutions depend on the existence of others.

Explanation
According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, which is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP that helps enterprise architects define and implement an architecture strategy for their organizations, Transition Architectures are intermediate states between the Baseline Architecture (the current situation) and the Target Architecture (the desired future state). Transition Architectures describe how to move from one state to another in a feasible and manageable way, taking into account the constraints and dependencies of the project. Transition Architectures are useful for structuring complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Some applications/solutions depend on the existence of others, meaning that they cannot be implemented or operated without the presence or functionality of other applications/solutions.
For example, a new application that relies on data from an existing application, or an existing application that needs to be integrated with a new application. By creating Transition Architectures, enterprise architects can:
Define and prioritize the sequence and timing of the changes and rollouts that are needed to achieve the Target Architecture.
Identify and mitigate the risks and issues that might arise during the transition process, such as technical, operational, or organizational challenges.
Communicate and align with the stakeholders and sponsors of the project, such as business owners, users, developers, vendors, etc.
Monitor and control the progress and performance of the project, and ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of the project.
Transition Architectures are useful in the Application Architecture domain because they can help to structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications.
In some cases, it may be possible to make changes to existing applications independently of each other.
However, in many cases, changes to one application will require changes to other applications. This is because applications often depend on each other for data or functionality.
Transition Architectures can help to identify these dependencies and to plan the changes to the applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business. They can also help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.
The following are some of the benefits of using Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain:
They can help to improve the visibility of complex application architectures.
They can help to identify dependencies between applications.
They can help to plan the changes to applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business.
They can help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.
Therefore, Transition Architectures can be a valuable tool for managing complex application architectures.

1.Document and review the existing integration (architecture)./2. Scope focus areas, for example future required building blocks/3. Identify architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns)/4. Map these use case patterns to integration technology./5. Define Integration Best Practices./6. Enable a Practice of Empowerment.

Explanation
The best answer for the integration approach to take for this solution is C. According to the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M), which is a methodology offered by SAP that helps enterprise architects define an integration strategy for their organizations and derive related integration guidelines, the recommended approach for identifying an integration solution and strategy is:
Document and review the existing integration (architecture). This step involves documenting and analyzing the current state of the integration landscape, including the integration scenarios, technologies, patterns, standards, and governance processes. The goal is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing integration (architecture) and identify the gaps and improvement areas.
Scope focus areas, for example future required building blocks. This step involves defining and prioritizing the focus areas for the integration project, such as new or changed business requirements, integration scenarios, or technologies. The focus areas are derived from the gaps and improvement areas identified in the previous step, as well as from the business goals and drivers of the organization. The focus areas are also mapped to future required building blocks, which are logical components that represent the desired capabilities or functionalities of the integration solution.
Identify architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns). This step involves identifying and describing the use-cases that are relevant for the integration project, such as process integration, data integration, user integration, or thing integration. The use-cases are technology agnostic, meaning that they do not specify any particular technology or service for implementation. The use-cases are also clustered in use-case patterns, which are generic templates that capture the common characteristics and requirements of similar use-cases.
Map these use case patterns to integration technology. This step involves mapping the use-case patterns to suitable integration technologies or services that can implement them. The mapping is based on a set of criteria and decision tables that consider various aspects of the use-case patterns, such as complexity, performance, security, or scalability. The mapping also takes into account the existing or planned integration technologies or services in the organization’s landscape.
Define Integration Best Practices. This step involves defining and documenting the best practices and guidelines for designing, developing, testing, deploying, monitoring, and governing the integration solutions. The best practices and guidelines are based on SAP’s recommendations and industry standards, as well as on the organization’s specific needs and preferences. The best practices and guidelines also cover various aspects of the integration project, such as naming conventions, error handling, logging, tracing, or versioning.
Enable a Practice of Empowerment. This step involves enabling and empowering the different roles and personas involved in the integration project, such as integration architects, developers, testers, operators, or business users. The goal is to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation among the stakeholders, and to provide them with the necessary skills, tools, and resources to execute their tasks effectively and efficiently.
The other options (A and B) are not correct for the integration approach to take for this solution, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M).
For example:
Option A is not correct because it does not include identifying architecture relevant use-cases (technology agnostic/clustered in use-case patterns), which is a key step to define and categorize the integration requirements in a generic way. It also does not include enabling a practice of empowerment, which is a key step to ensure the success and sustainability of the integration project.
Option B is not correct because it does not include documenting and reviewing the existing integration (architecture), which is a key step to understand the current state of the integration landscape and identify the gaps and improvement areas. It also does not include scoping focus areas or mapping use case patterns to integration technology, which are key steps to define and prioritize the future state of the integration solution.

Q25. You design a Solution Architecture, based on SAP S/4HANA, for an internationally active customer that has a national subsidiary in China and other countries that have special requirements for data storage. As the responsible Enterprise Architect, your task is to propose a solution that takes these special requirements into account. How do you proceed when your customer’s Architecture Guideline calls for following a “cloud-first” approach?

This is independent of the solution components required, because SAP S/4HANA Cloud and all SAP SaaS solutions meet all applicable data protection requirements, Private cloud or on-premises options therefore do not need to be considered. The “cloud-first” approach can be fully implemented.

This depends on the required solution components. None of the selected SAP solutions may support the regulated environment, so alternative solutions or custom developed solutions should be considered.

This depends on the required solution components. Public cloud solutions may not meet the necessary data protection requirements. Therefore, private cloud or on-premise options must be considered when developing the solution landscape.

Q26. Wanderlust’s numbers for order booking have been on a free-fall, ever since a recent economic downturn reduced showroom footfall to near zero.
