Duration: 4–8 days per month
Fractional Enterprise Architect
Director-level judgement without having to fill a permanent executive seat.
The outcome
Ongoing design authority and a dependable sparring partner for leadership — continuity over months instead of one-off opinions.
Technology domains examined
- Enterprise Architecture & GovernanceHow are architecture decisions made accountable to the steering committee and the CFO?
- Integration, BTP & Enterprise PlatformsDoes this capability belong in the core, in an extension, or on a platform of its own?
- Enterprise Apps, Fiori & MobileHow does the interface stay agile without business logic migrating into it?
- Digital Product & Platform LeadershipDo we build, do we buy — and who owns the evolution afterwards?
- Supply Chain & LogisticsWhich stock figure do store, online and planning believe — and why the same one?
The situation
- The organisation needs architecture authority but not another full-time seat.
- A key role is vacant and the search is taking time.
- The system integrator both designs and reviews its own proposals.
- Decisions need a counterpart with no stake in delivery revenue.
Scope
- Architecture board and decision preparation
- Review of partner and vendor proposals
- Roadmap maintenance and sequencing
- Escalation support in critical phases
- Preparation of steering-committee decisions
What you receive
- A running decision log
- Current target picture and roadmap
- Assessed vendor and partner proposals
- Prepared steering-committee material
What it is not
- Three-month minimum; below that nothing compounds.
- No line responsibility and no people management.
- Capacity is limited and deliberately not overbooked.
