SAP Landscape Architect
SAP Landscape Architects help employers design and govern the wider SAP estate across systems, environments, integrations, platforms and support models. They bring control to transformation planning, cloud transition, technical dependencies and long-term landscape stability.
What does a SAP Landscape Architect do?
An SAP Landscape Architect designs how SAP systems, environments, integrations, platforms and operational services fit together across the wider enterprise estate.
The role is commonly used on SAP S/4HANA, ECC, RISE with SAP, SAP BTP and cloud transformation programmes where employers need clear landscape decisions across current state, future state, migration, integration, security, monitoring and BAU support.
