Enterprise Architecture,
SAP LeanIX & FinOps

We help you shape your IT landscape strategically and steer cloud costs deliberately — using proven methods such as TOGAF, SAP LeanIX and FinOps for Azure.

Enterprise Architecture

Shape your IT landscape strategically — clear, scalable and future-proof.

TOGAF-based consulting

Complex IT systems grow with your business — often faster than the overview can keep up. Professional Enterprise Architecture brings transparency across your entire IT landscape and aligns it consistently with your business goals.

We use TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) — the globally recognised standard for Enterprise Architecture. The structured ADM cycle ensures your architecture work is traceable, repeatable and aligned with your business objectives.

Transparency & overview

Complete visibility across applications, data and infrastructure of your entire IT landscape.

Business-IT alignment

Align IT strategy and business strategy — sustainably and measurably.

Cost reduction

Identify, assess and systematically reduce redundancy and technical debt.

Roadmap & planning

Clear migration paths, transformation initiatives and technology roadmaps.

Service overview
  • Current-state assessment and documentation of your existing IT architecture
  • Target architecture design following TOGAF ADM
  • Governance models, architecture principles and standards
  • Technology roadmaps and portfolio assessment

SAP LeanIX — Implementation & Consulting

Enterprise Architecture Management on the leading SaaS platform — from rollout to productive operations.

Typical challenges

  • No central overview of applications and their dependencies
  • Manual, error-prone documentation in Excel or PowerPoint

As an experienced LeanIX consultant I support you with rollout, configuration and productive operations of the platform. From initial data modelling and team onboarding through to integration with tools such as ServiceNow, Jira or Azure DevOps.

FinOps in the Azure environment

Make cloud costs transparent, optimise them and steer them sustainably — with a structured FinOps approach for Microsoft Azure.

Typical challenges

  • Azure costs grow unchecked and are hard to attribute
  • No cost transparency across teams, projects and workloads
  • No clear ownership for cloud spend across the organisation
  • Idle resources and oversized services driving cost

FinOps (Financial Operations) creates the foundation to not only measure cloud spend in Azure but actively steer it. We combine technical know-how with a business perspective and establish a culture of shared cost accountability between Finance, IT and Business.

From introducing a tagging concept and leveraging Azure Cost Management through to budgets, alerts and showback reporting — we accompany you step by step toward a cost-optimised cloud environment.

Cost transparency

Complete view of Azure spend by team, project and workload.

Cost optimisation

Identify idle resources, apply right-sizing and reservations.

Cloud governance

Clear ownership, budgets and escalation processes for all teams.

Reporting & showback

Automated reports and dashboards for Finance, IT and management.

Service overview
  • FinOps maturity assessment and rollout roadmap
  • Azure tagging and cost-allocation concept
  • Azure Cost Management setup, budgets and alerts
  • Identification of savings: idle resources, right-sizing, reserved instances
  • Showback and chargeback reports for internal cost centres
