Phase 23 — Enterprise Architect Capstone

This is the final phase of the SAP Datasphere Masterclass.

You will synthesize the entire curriculum into an enterprise architecture that can be defended with evidence: business outcomes, domain boundaries, integration patterns, semantic design, security, governance, performance, lifecycle, migration, operations, disaster recovery, cost, and modernization.

The capstone standard​

You are not being asked to draw a pretty architecture diagram.

You must be able to answer:

  • Why this architecture?
  • Why these boundaries?
  • Why this integration pattern?
  • Why persist here and federate there?
  • How are semantics governed?
  • How is access controlled?
  • How does the platform scale?
  • What happens when a source fails?
  • How is a release promoted?
  • What is the recovery strategy?
  • What does the architecture cost?
  • What would make you change it?

SAP Datasphere provides spaces as secure modeling environments and supports integration, preparation, modeling, cataloging, semantic access, and consumption across SAP and non-SAP data. The capstone turns those platform capabilities into an enterprise operating model.

Final outcome​

Produce an architecture decision record, target architecture, migration roadmap, operating model, and executive defense for a realistic enterprise.
