Room & Board’s Post

I have worked for multiple Independent Software Providers (ISPs) in my career, some were better than others. I have worked with others as a consumer of their products. These companies, some have been consumed into other companies, include but are not limited to: IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, FICO, Majesco, Canmax Retail Systems, and others. Some were extremely good at building, purchasing and incorporating new products into their portfolios, others not so good.   Those that were successful (IMHO) had key elements and processes in which they incorporated those products. Here is my list of those resources that the successful ones leveraged. Note: I will not be name dropping on who was successful and who was not.   Resources/Positions: * Enterprise Architecture Team Lead - Facilitates consensus and drives resolution on technical direction. * Enterprise Architect (Lead) - focuses on the Big Picture for all applications in the product suite with a general understanding of each of the areas below.  * Enterprise Data Architect - focuses on the Big Picture for the data and it's flow across all product suites. * Solution Architect for each of the follow areas: * Integration - focuses on the integration of all data between products and to external data sources. * Data - focuses on the data for a particular product. * Application - focuses on the application solution including incorporating any customization.

The best SAP S/4HANA Business Analysts don’t just work harder—they work smarter.  As someone who started my journey as an ABAP developer, I’ve learned a lot about how clear communication and smart habits can make all the difference in a project’s success. Here are 3 habits that can elevate your skills and impact as an SAP S/4HANA BA:  1️⃣ Start every project with the "Why" Don’t just gather functional requirements—delve into the business drivers behind them. Back when I was an ABAP developer, I often found myself asking, “Why are we building this?” It wasn’t just about writing code for a functional requirement—it was about understanding the **business need** behind it.  For instance, a request to modify a custom report wasn’t just about changing an ALV layout; it was about helping the finance team close their books faster. By understanding the bigger picture, I delivered solutions that aligned with the business goals, not just the immediate request.  As a BA, digging into the "Why" will help you leverage SAP S/4HANA’s capabilities—whether it’s embedded analytics, Fiori apps, or real-time insights—to deliver real value.  2️⃣ Visualize before you document SAP S/4HANA implementations often involve complex processes. Skip the lengthy specification documents and focus on creating visuals. When I wrote technical documents as an ABAP developer, I realized that walls of text didn’t resonate with everyone—especially the functional consultants. So, I made it a habit to include:  - Flow diagrams illustrating technical logic (e.g., how a custom IDoc processes data from sales orders).   - Table names with relationships so functional consultants could understand dependencies.  This approach not only saved countless hours in discussions but also ensured everyone was on the same page. As a BA, you can take this to the next level by visualizing complex workflows, integration points. Pro tip: Visuals can help stakeholders quickly validate business processes or integrations, saving time and reducing misalignment. 3️⃣ Make feedback a habit   Don’t wait for UAT or post-go-live to gather input. Incorporate regular feedback loops: During blueprint workshops, confirm alignment with key stakeholders. After each sprint or phase, validate SAP configurations or prototypes through demos. In my early projects, I learned the hard way that waiting until the end to get feedback often meant more rework. I started sharing drafts of my technical designs, diagrams, and prototypes with functional teams and end-users throughout the process.  For example, early feedback on a custom enhancement for Material Management can ensure it aligns with both system limitations and user expectations.  By adopting these habits and bringing your personal touch to each project, you’ll not only bridge the gap between technical and functional teams but also help your organization unlock the full potential of SAP S/4HANA. #BusinessAnalyst #SAP #technical #functional

I set a challenging goal and failed it.   In 2014 I was SAP SCM Consultant and decided that I want to become an SAP Solution Architect as the next step in my career.   So, I searched up people on LinkedIn who already had this title and asked them what to do.   They gave me all different kinds of recommendations but one of them resonated the most.   A seasoned Enterprise Architect told me that I need to gain experience with: 1.      Finance and Supply Chain modules 2.      Master Data Management 3.      Security 4.      Business Intelligence 5.      System integration 6.      Project Management   That sounded quite a challenge. At that point I had only half of #1, #2 and #4.   Unexpectedly an interesting opportunity came in – SCM Consultant in Microsoft Dynamics.   Shall I stay in SAP or go to a different product? – I realized that in this case I will not be able to grow to an SAP Solution Architect.   Because in order to become a Solution Architect I would have to specialize in a product – Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or SAP.   The only way to become a product agnostic Architect is to grow even further to an Enterprise Architect.   Which I decided not to go for.   I accepted an opportunity where I practiced Finance and Security. On my next JD Edwards project, I practiced System Integration.   And to complete the puzzle I gained Project Management as well on my next gigs.   I did not become a Solution Architect, and don’t want to.   But that recommendation from my mentor was directing my career interest for 10 years.   What did it give me? Well rounded profile across multiple ERPs.   And it’s easier to find a contract when I am looking.   To sum up.   It’s OK to be flexible and change goals. #ERP #TheERPguy
