IT Architecture & Technology
The complexity of enterprise architectures (processes and applications) is constantly increasing due to the wide variety of business application options and new technologies. In this context, IT architecture and technology, as well as the integration of data and processes, play a key role and are critical success factors. In addition to these design considerations, the cloud options also raise the question of how your applications and solutions will be operated in the future. In the cloud, in a hybrid environment, or in your own data center—all while facing the increasingly critical challenge of data and information security. We provide you with comprehensive, vendor-neutral support, backed by extensive expertise in SAP applications and technologies, to help you address the complex issues surrounding your future strategic direction.

Answers to Complex IT Architecture and Technology Questions
Integration is a key component of any enterprise architecture. Systems must exchange data with one another internally; likewise, integration with external partners such as suppliers and service providers is extremely important for business success. We advise you on everything from developing an integration strategy and architecture to selecting technology and implementing the solution. We take your individual needs and goals into account, identify the necessary and appropriate components, and recommend suitable technologies—in the latter case, we take a multi-tool approach to recommend products that truly meet your needs.
Cloud platforms and the path to adopting them play a role in nearly all companies. We’ll help you find the right path—from hybrid to cloud-only strategies—and select the appropriate platforms and technologies. Our experts are here to assist you, particularly in the context of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
Information and data security is an issue of immense importance. Aside from regulatory requirements, every company strives to ensure that data does not fall into the wrong hands, so as not to jeopardize its operations or its reputation in the market. Among other things, we rely on data tokenization and encryption rather than on prevention. This makes the theft of your company’s data—even in the cloud—unattractive.

Information and Data Security
IT security is a complex issue. We help you secure your data through authorization and authentication in order to restrict access to the data as a general rule. In addition, we help you securely store your data in the cloud using encryption and tokenization. If third parties gain access to the data, it will no longer be usable for its intended purpose.
Tokenization and Encryption
Protect your business processes and your reputation by tokenizing and encrypting your data in real time. This makes it possible to store data in the cloud without having to compromise on data protection.
Authorization and Authentication
Do you want to secure access to your portals or platforms? In that case, you’ll need an authorization and authentication tool to ensure that only the people you want to grant access to can actually access the system.

SAP Application Design & Development
The perfect solution for modern applications in the SAP Business Technology Platform is often made available through a template. But it’s not that simple!
A solution tailored specifically to your company and your needs goes far beyond that.
Depending on your requirements, a wide variety of starting points and approaches can be combined to leverage synergies and make your application ecosystem shine in a modern light: integrating existing standard services and apps as the basis and foundation of your design; adapting and extending these standard applications with additional features; or implementing new features. Here, too, there are a wide variety of approaches—such as low-code/no-code solutions via SAP Build Apps or custom application development with the SAP BTP Business Application Studio—that must be carefully selected to create the perfect application.
There is a wide range of options available. We’ll work with you to evaluate the best approach and select the right tools. Together, we design your applications to provide targeted support for your business processes.
By the end, terms like “Keep the Core Clean!”, “ABAP Extensibility,” “Tier Layering,” and “loosely coupled applications” will no longer be unfamiliar to you.
