Enterprise Architecture: your alignment plan for strategy, business and IT

Bridge the gap between your current business needs, strategic plans and current IT landscape with our enterprise architecture approach – one step at a time.


The challenges of an evolving IT landscape

From monolithic infrastructures to ‘best-of-breed’

Since the 1980s, business IT has continuously evolved from early on-premise infrastructures to all-in-one megasuites all the way to today’s ‘best-of-breed’, decentralized SaaS solutions.



Conquering complexity

In the latter case, every aspect of the business is served by a niche solution with its own data model and restrictions. Ensuring proper communication and integration between these separate entities – for example, to create a 360° customer view – can be pretty challenging.

Redefining the role of IT

IT enables the modern enterprise to adapt to its business environment and meet (customer) expectations. Standing at the forefront of digital transformation, a solid IT landscape allows organizations to navigate internal and external changes and roll with the punches. The key? Keeping pace with the ever-increasing speed of change.

Your supply chain decisions are only as good as your data. SAP + delaware can give you a real-time, AI-powered edge. 
 
In the world of supply chain planning, bad data is worse than no data. It creates misalignment, causes missed deliveries, and triggers a cascade of costly rework. And yet, many companies are still relying on disconnected spreadsheets or legacy planning systems that can’t adapt in real time. If this sounds familiar, it's time to rethink how your business plans.

Best Practices for Implementing SAP MRO in A&D

Modernizing MRO isn’t just about technology—it’s about change. Aerospace & Defense companies need to evolve from siloed, reactive maintenance environments to integrated, predictive ecosystems that support readiness, traceability, and sustainability. 
 
But making that shift requires more than installing new software. It requires strategy, alignment, and a partner who understands A&D complexity. Here’s how successful organizations approach SAP MRO implementation—and how delaware helps them get it right.

Why Modernizing MRO Is Critical for Aerospace & Defense

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) is the backbone of fleet readiness in the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) sector. But traditional MRO systems—often stitched together from legacy tools, spreadsheets, and siloed applications—can no longer keep up with the complexity and scale of today’s operations. 
 
From aging fleets to increased compliance demands, A&D organizations are under pressure to do more with less while ensuring safety, uptime, and mission readiness. It’s no longer enough to track maintenance tasks and spare parts manually. A modern MRO approach is required—and that’s where SAP MRO comes in.

Why Modern Supply Chains Need an Intelligent Cloud ERP Backbone

Outdated systems and fragmented data are holding supply chains back. SAP Cloud ERP + delaware can help you move forward, fast.

But if your core systems weren’t built to manage this complexity, your business is constantly stuck reacting to problems, not anticipating them. That’s where SAP Cloud ERP comes in.
