Digital transformation is no longer a future ambition – it’s a present necessity.
Technologies like AI, business automation, and data intelligence have become embedded into daily operations. The challenge for many enterprises is not if they should transform, but how fast and how effectively it can be done.
With certified LeanIX consultants and as a certified SAP partner with Enterprise Architecture capabilities aligned to the SAP Business Transformation Management framework, we help organisations turn strategic vision into operational reality. Where appropriate, we deliver this capability through our Architecture as a Service (AaaS) model, providing flexible and expert architecture support on demand.
AI is here to stay – integrated, embedded, and rapidly reshaping how businesses work. But digital transformation only delivers results when systems, data, and processes are aligned around a common purpose. Here’s how leading organisations are achieving that alignment and how On Device Solutions can help turn strategy into execution.
Enabling Scalable Architecture for AI and Beyond
It’s easy to describe AI as the future. But it’s already here – transforming how finance teams process transactions, how procurement forecasts demand, how supply chains respond to disruption, and how HR delivers onboarding and support.
However, simply adding AI on top of disconnected legacy systems rarely works. What’s needed is a self-reinforcing cycle: AI, data, and applications working in sync to continuously generate value. For many, that means aligning systems, removing duplication, and improving cross-functional visibility.
From Assistants to Agents
AI is no longer limited to back-end automation. Today’s systems act as embedded digital agents, supporting finance, procurement, HR, and more. These assistants complete tasks such as invoice matching, onboarding workflow creation, disruption analysis, and real-time recommendations.
But the power of these tools lies in the architecture that supports them. They’re only effective when operating within a well-defined business architecture allowing real-time context and trusted data.
Our clients often already have tools like LeanIX but struggle to unlock their full potential. That’s where we come in and where Architecture as a Service proves invaluable. We integrate architecture tools with the existing IT landscape to enable cross-functional visibility, support better decision-making, and create the foundation for scalable technologies – including AI agents where appropriate.
Data That Makes AI Work
Data is at the core of every intelligent system, but only when it’s accurate, structured, and available in context. Inconsistent or siloed data creates roadblocks for AI, analytics, and business decision-making.
Modern digital transformation efforts depend on harmonised data models and a single source of truth. Whether you’re analysing recruitment metrics, sales performance, or supply chain risk, your data must be trustworthy.
At On Device Solutions, we help clients rationalise their data architecture. With LeanIX and business capability mapping, we connect people, processes, systems, and data. While not all aspects of this fall under our Architecture as a Service model, much of it does – particularly when it comes to aligning architecture resources with transformation goals.
The New Rhythm of Digital Transformation
Transformation no longer follows long timelines. Change is now expected to happen in days or even hours – especially as AI becomes more embedded in business processes. But that speed only works when you have the tools, structure, and governance in place.
Low-code platforms, SAP Business Transformation Management tools, and digital adoption technologies now allow business users – not just developers – to deploy AI solutions, redesign workflows, and track performance. But this must be done without bloating the ERP core or introducing new risks.
Our Architecture as a Service model helps enterprises adapt to this new rhythm. By providing on-demand architectural expertise, governance frameworks, and a clean digital foundation, we support faster execution without compromising compliance or control.
From Clean Core to Connected Enterprise
A clean core is becoming central to successful digital transformation – reducing customisation, enabling seamless updates, and allowing innovation through secure extensions.
Through our work with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), Signavio, and LeanIX, we help organisations build connected, adaptable systems. Much of this work takes place within the scope of our Architecture as a Service offering – ensuring clean integration, reduced technical debt, and visibility across change initiatives.
As AI capabilities continue to evolve at a revolutionary pace, having a clean, well-governed architecture is what allows businesses to adopt and scale effectively – instead of patching legacy systems.
Putting Digital Transformation to Work
Whether you’re using multi-tier AI models to predict supply chain needs or streamlining HR onboarding processes, digital transformation is already in motion.
But achieving sustainable transformation doesn’t happen by chance. It requires the right architectural foundations, embedded governance, and systems that scale. That’s our focus – helping clients build these foundations through both strategic consulting and our Architecture as a Service model.
With our Enterprise Architecture certification, LeanIX consulting capacity, and outcome-driven delivery model, we’re helping enterprises not just imagine the future but build it.
