In order to achieve the best possible
cost/benefit ratio when designing
the functional architecture, it is
recommended that you map the
business processes using as many
off-the-shelf standard services as
possible. The number of customer
individual services should be reduced
to a minimum. The more business
capabilities that can be supported
by standard services the less budget
will be required for individual service
development and maintenance.

Another important factor to consider
during this phase is the structure of
the existing landscape. It needs to be
segmented along the same principles
as the target landscape so that you
can already be considering options to
transition functionalities towards the
To-Be and optimize the target design
accordingly.
Within the SOPS approach
Capgemini uses industry specific
reference models (process models,
domain models) to accelerate the
required categorization and mapping
activities (Figure 13).
