About #SAPSysArchs
Together we are all #SAPSysArchs, everybody in the SAP Business who is involved in SAP
System Architecture decisions.
A global peer group enabling sharing of discussions, questions, philosophies, throughts and
experiences.
#SAPSysArchs face many challenges including pressure of having to be the subject matter
expert, the final internal technical authority, and without always having access to support.
Where is the documentation, there is not enough architecture documentation around SCN
or SMP, we're lucky if a Master Guide gives some architectural insight.
Architect's don't blog, why ? Often blogging architecture solutions, philosophies, ideas, could
risk sharing company's secrets combined with pride of not wishing to be publicly challenged.
What to do ? #SAPSysArchs creates a peer group where on a monthly basis peers can have
an open discussion on a contempary subject, and compare thoughts.
Less a lecture and more a discussion, there are mountains of documentation on SCN, SMP,
TechEd, the #SAPSysArchs calls are primarily an opportunity for open peer discussion, where
attendees bring their challenges and throughts.
Real challenges faced by real people at real companies, rather than PowerPoint Presentations.
Good architectural design and decisions bring many benefits including:
. creating competitive advantage by
. enabling End User productivity, enabling End Users to be productive and keeping them
productive
. reducing costs
. reducing time
Every company is different, running at different speeds with different budgetary and business
pressures.
What is the best architectural decision for one company, may not for a variety of reasons be the
best architectural decision for another.
However, enabling #SAPSysArchs to share and compare in peer discussions will benefit all.
