SAP vision: alignment of domain models*

Definition of an (application) domain: “Set of common requirements, terminology, and functionality for any
software program constructed to solve a problem.”**
Following domain-driven design*** principles:
▪ Placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic
▪ Initiating a creative collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively refine a conceptual model that
addresses particular domain problems

Example
Finance Application Travel Application
Accounting Controlling Travel expense report Travel itineraries
 Cost Center  Cost Center
… …
= Core Domain Supporting domain

*For newly developed applications, applied on a case-by-case basis
