Empowering Modern Manufacturing: A Data-Driven Enterprise Architecture Approach

The adoption of technologies like IIoT, Cloud Computing, Digital Twins and AI in conjunction with the existing legacy equipment has all led to a stockpile of applications, leaving many manufacturers with bloated portfolios and shadow IT.

How do manufacturers respond to these challenges and how do they prepare for upcoming transformations like SAP S/4HANA?

Join our interactive session:

  • Discover Trends & Explore Possibilities: Learn about the pivotal role of modern EAs in global manufacturing, how to optimise your IT landscape through Application Rationalisation and how to successfully navigate transformations like SAP S/4HANA.
  • Presentations & Expert Talks - Progroup AG, Signify & LeanIX
  • Networking Opportunities and Knowledge Sharing: Connect with other EA professionals and decision-makers from manufacturing.
  • Expert Guidance: Receive first-hand advice from LeanIX experts on how to optimise your Enterprise Architecture practices.

Enterprise Architecture in the I4.0 Environment - dynamic and sustainable

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline that is not self-explanatory. Many colleagues are unaware of what enterprise architects work on and why they should be supported in their work.

Join this presentation as Thomas guides us through the introduction and management journey of Enterprise Architecture (EA) at Progroup AG, a manufacturing company navigating both cultural and disruptive changes. Progroup AG faces the challenge of replacing a ubiquitous, highly integrated monolith while introducing AI and Industry 4.0 technologies. Amidst these transformations, establishing a dynamic and sustainable management approach to enterprise architecture is essential, ensuring its integration into the company's processes and its crucial importance in the company's success.

Best Practices for Navigating Your SAP Transformation with LeanIX

SAP S/4HANA transformations with a hybrid or SAP BTP focus have already been ongoing for many years. Due to the complexity and high-level integration of ERP environments, the key success factors for a successful transformation are transparency of the current ERP and non-ERP landscape and proper milestone planning while maintaining focus on business goals and effectively managing complexity and dependencies.

 

In this track, Thorsten will delve into his experiences and solution strategies from various SAP transformations at large manufacturers, while stressing the pivotal role of Enterprise Architecture as a cornerstone for facilitating successful ERP transformations and driving change.

 

During his presentation and demo session, he will take us through:

  • The benefits and use cases of LeanIX EAM for SAP transformations into a hybrid system world with SAP BTP, or into the SAP Industry Cloud with a strong cloud focus.
  • Mapping and workflow of architecture decisions in LeanIX for successful implementation of a Clean Core
  • The holistic picture of the IT, process, and business landscape for various stakeholders.
  • Real-life customer cases supporting SAP S/4HANA greenfield and selected transformations.
