Executive Summary
Reduce IT Complexity and Accelerate Transformation with LeanIX
SAP LeanIX is an enterprise architecture and application portfolio management platform that gives organisations a clear, dynamic, and real-time view of their IT landscape. It consolidates information scattered across teams and systems into a single source of truth—covering business capabilities, applications, technology stacks, integrations, and lifecycle details. With LeanIX, transformation teams gain the visibility they need to plan intelligently, reduce complexity, and support strategic initiatives such as cloud adoption or an SAP S/4HANA transition.
Many organisations face challenges such as redundant applications, outdated documentation, siloed decision-making, and limited visibility into technology risks. These issues slow down transformation projects, increase operational costs, and make long-term planning difficult. Without accurate architecture data, digital initiatives often stall, leading to uncertainty, rising technical debt, and misaligned investments.
SAP LeanIX addresses these challenges by offering a structured, collaborative, and continuously updated view of your enterprise architecture. It helps teams understand dependencies, assess risks, prioritise investments, and streamline their IT landscape. When paired with SAP Signavio’s process insights, organisations gain an end-to-end view—from business processes to underlying applications—making transformation decisions faster, clearer, and more reliable.
