SAP LeanIX

LeanIX (now SAP LeanIX) is an enterprise architecture management platform that gives organizations a single source of truth for their IT landscape during technology transformation and post-merger integration.

SAP LeanIX, founded in Bonn, Germany in 2012 and acquired by SAP in November 2023, centralizes an organization‘s applications, technology components, risks, and roadmaps in one repository. For M&A integration teams, this matters because combining two companies usually means combining two IT landscapes — LeanIX maps both, flags redundant or end-of-life systems, and builds a roadmap for rationalization and modernization. The platform‘s three core products (Application Portfolio Management, Technology Risk and Compliance, and Architecture and Roadmap Planning) cover the cycle from documenting the as-is landscape through executing a target-state transformation, with AI features assisting in inventory building and content generation along the way.

Key Features

  • Application Portfolio Management for documenting and assessing the full application landscape

  • Technology Risk and Compliance module for obsolescence and security risk tracking

  • Architecture and Roadmap Planning for target-state design and transformation milestones

  • AI-powered inventory builder that extracts architecture elements from diagrams and images

  • Prebuilt dashboards, reports, and diagrams for stakeholder reporting

AI Capabilities

AI-powered inventory builder extracts architecture elements from diagrams and images. AI-assisted text creation and translation inside fact sheets. AI Agent Hub for governing AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers across the IT landscape.
