SAP SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT / ENTERPRISE TRANSFORMATION

Architecture forwhat comes next.

I’m Martin Andrade. I connect enterprise platforms, modernize complex SAP landscapes, and bring AI into real business operations.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Complexity is a given.
Clarity is a choice.

I work where business ambition meets enterprise reality. My role is to make the architecture clear, connect the right people and platforms, and turn a long-term vision into decisions teams can act on.

BUILT ON HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

Architecture. Integration. Transformation.
  • SAP experience since 2013
  • Solution architecture
  • S/4HANA transformation
  • RISE with SAP
  • SAP BTP & Integration Suite
  • Identity & security
  • SAP Business AI & Joule
  • From security to solution strategy

01 / HOW I HELP

A strong architecture connects technology choices to the way an organization needs to work. I bring both perspectives to the table.

01

A clear path through transformation.

I turn complex SAP estates into practical architecture decisions and migration roadmaps. Technical direction stays connected to business priorities.

S/4HANA · RISE with SAP · Hybrid architecture
02

Platforms that work together.

I design the connections between ERP, planning, data, and cloud services, with clear ownership and an integration foundation teams can operate.

03

Trust built into the architecture.

I bring identity, access, and connectivity into the design from the start. Security supports the user experience and the way the business works.

AI with an enterprise foundation.

I connect AI adoption to clean data, secure identity, and useful workflows. I evaluate readiness and integration before expanding the scope.

02 / SELECTED ARCHITECTURE WORK

Decisions that
move things forward.

A selection of the transformations I’ve helped shape, from the core ERP landscape to the services around it.

01 / Cloud transformation2025

From on-premise complexity to a managed cloud core.

I led the solution architecture for the move to SAP RISE Cloud ERP Private. I connected landscape and network design, migration planning, cutover, integration, and security into one delivery roadmap.

THE FOCUS

A coordinated transition to managed cloud ERP.

02 / Integration & data2026

Connecting the platforms behind better decisions.

I oversee the architecture for the Revenue Growth Management initiative, connecting SAP IBP, Business Data Cloud, and identity services through SAP Integration Suite. The work brings data flows, access, and platform decisions into a coherent design.

THE FOCUS

One architecture across planning, data, and identity.

03 / Enterprise AI2025

Bringing enterprise AI into the landscape.

I led the deployment of SAP Joule across RISE PCE and SAP cloud solutions. I aligned identity, connectivity, and integration so the copilot could operate within an established enterprise environment.

THE FOCUS

AI enablement grounded in trusted enterprise services.

More from the landscape

Integration, modernization, and the foundations that make transformation possible.

2024SAP Integration Suite - End-to-End Implementation

I designed and implemented Cloud Integration, API Management, connectivity, and monitoring to establish an integration backbone across cloud and on-premise systems.

2020S/4HANA Migration & Conversion (DOC)

I was technical lead for the S/4HANA brownfield conversion using the downtime-optimized conversion approach. I reduced business downtime from 68 hours to 8 hours and documented the architecture in a 500+ page cookbook.

2017Enterprise Security & SSO Modernization

I managed and delivered the SSO rollout across 15 SAP solutions and 70+ environments using SAML, SPNEGO, and Kerberos, with HTTPS enabled across the landscape.

03 / MY APPROACH TO ENTERPRISE AI

The question I start with is simple: where will AI make the work better?

I focus on the architecture that makes the answer practical: connected data, trusted identity, clear ownership, and integration into existing processes. My SAP Joule work brings that thinking into the enterprise landscape.

As AI moves toward more autonomous workflows, I evaluate access boundaries, human oversight, and operational readiness before widening the scope.

Let’s discuss your AI readiness
FROM FOUNDATION TO APPLICATION
01

A useful business problem

Start with the workflow and the people doing it.

02

A trustworthy platform

Align data, identity, integration, and clean-core design.

03

A controlled path to adoption

Define ownership, oversight, and operational boundaries.

04 / THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE WORK

My path at Maple Leaf Foods runs from SAP security and hands-on operations to leading solution architecture. That foundation shapes every decision I make today.
