Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® P_SAPEA Enterprise Architect certification, built for the 2026 Scenario-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: Practising enterprise architects and senior consultants who guide how an organization's technology landscape supports its business strategy — professionals who want a recognized professional-level credential proving they can lead architecture engagements with the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, from vision and business architecture through application, data, and technology layers to actionable roadmaps.
The SAP® P_SAPEA certification confirms that you can take on the enterprise architect role — shaping an end-to-end architecture that reflects an organization's business strategy and keeps its technology landscape aligned with corporate goals. It is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment built around a single extended activity, so it rewards applied architectural judgment rather than isolated recall. The scope draws on the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework and its tailored TOGAF-based development method, spanning the preliminary and vision phases, requirements and decision management, business architecture, application and data architecture, technology architecture, and the transition to opportunities, solutions, and roadmaps. Because it targets an experienced architect profile, the exam emphasizes holistic design and the ability to justify decisions consistently across every layer of the landscape.

The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Understanding what enterprise architecture is, how the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework tailors the TOGAF development method, and how its methodology, reference architecture content, tooling, and services come together to accelerate engagements and mature an architecture practice.
Running the preliminary phase to set up an architecture engagement, then handling requirements, risk, and decision management as cross-cutting concerns that persist across the whole method rather than sitting in a single step.
Articulating a clear architecture vision that connects the engagement to the organization's business strategy, framing scope and stakeholder expectations so the downstream architecture layers have a coherent direction to follow.
Defining the business architecture — capabilities, processes, and the organizational context — so that the technology decisions taken later demonstrably serve business goals and remain traceable back to strategy.
Exploring the concepts of application and data architecture, designing robust and scalable application landscapes, and building data architecture that supports business intelligence and analytics while respecting clean-core and maintainability principles.
Defining the technology architecture that underpins the application and data layers, ensuring the infrastructure and platform choices are consistent with the vision and capable of supporting the intended solutions at scale.
Identifying opportunities and candidate solutions and developing transition roadmaps that sequence the move toward the target architecture, turning design work into an actionable, strategy-aligned implementation path.
