ERPValue
Architecture Center

The technical knowledge center behind every ERPValue engagement.

Reference architectures, blueprints and best practices — the same ones we use on client engagements — organized by the topics that matter most in modern SAP: Clean Core, Business AI, MCP, Business Data Cloud and platform engineering.

Reference architectures

Documentation built the way SAP architects actually think.

Each blueprint below reflects a real architectural decision we make repeatedly across engagements — not marketing collateral.

Architecture

Clean Core Reference Architecture

How to keep the digital core upgrade-safe while extending it safely on BTP.

Business Suite

SAP Business Suite Modernization Blueprint

A structured path from legacy customization to governed, capability-based processes.

Business AI

Business AI Stack

How Joule, agents, grounding and RAG fit together on top of governed data.

Business Data Cloud

Business Data Cloud Architecture

The data foundation pattern behind every trustworthy Business AI use case.

MCP

MCP Reference Architecture

Connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Joule to SAP through one governed protocol.

Platform Engineering

Cloud Foundry vs. Kyma Deployment Guide

Choosing the right SAP BTP runtime for each extension pattern.

Integration

Enterprise Integration Blueprint

Event Mesh and Integration Suite as the governed backbone for SAP and AI traffic alike.

Methodology

ERPValue Enterprise AI Framework™

The six-pillar methodology behind how we sequence strategy, architecture and platform work.

At a glance

Two patterns behind almost every engagement.

Clean Core and enterprise integration are the architectural decisions that shape everything downstream — including what AI can safely do.

Need a blueprint for your specific landscape?

These are reference patterns. Every engagement starts by adapting one — or several — to your actual architecture.
