It's for what it's intended for, which is Enterprise Architecture. I've mapped our business capabilities inside of LeanIX platform. When I do that, I'm actually integrating it to see what technologies, what data objects, and what interfaces are being used to support not just the business capability but also our business processes. So that's the example.

I have experience using LeanIX and have generated a report on our platform. I have 2 years of experience with LeanIX. I've worked with clients such as Kendrill, and in my former years with IBM, we used spreadsheets and other applications for enterprise architecture to look at the entire process and architecture infrastructure for all systems. We moved to SAP LeanIX in the past 2 years because one of my clients, Subway, started to use SAP LeanIX as part of their transformational journey.
We are using LeanIX ( /products/leanix-reviews ) to enable all the solutions that are available in a consolidated view of the entire architecture portfolio and the application portfolio mapping. This is done with respect to the business capabilities. We use these capabilities to develop dashboards related to business functions, allowing our leadership to take immediate actions based on various factors such as IT and business consumption, future upgrades, and capacity improvements.
I use LeanIX primarily as an enterprise architecture tool. It allows me to load applications, IT components, and map them to business capabilities. The objective is to identify gaps between existing and missing resources and to check for obsolescence in hardware and software that need upgrading. It also facilitates the identification of integration options, like using CPI for SAP, especially for risk management and delivering IT value to businesses.

I use the solution in my company for access control and landscape maintenance. It is used to put the life cycle and technical fit. The tool is used to swim through the life cycle and also for building maybe target architecture pictures by adding the objectives, the application, and the business capabilities.
I was part of an international bank and suggested this product for implementation. So our use cases include Portfolio rationalization and transformation.
Primarily, our use case is app rationalization. First, get a clear inventory of what applications we have and how they're categorized. Secondly, identifying obsolete ones for retirement or replacement. Those were the key reasons we bought it.
We use the solution for: * Application Portfolio Management * Portfolio Rationalization * Democratizing the EA decisions rolled up to CIO/CxO Dashboards * Model the current state architecture and prepare for the target state architecture * Business architecture-related activities like business capability model, and landscape views for change management/transformation/tech refresh. It helps to map the EA components with project/program management data, costs, and where to invest next (risks and opportunities) based on the TIME framework (tolerate, invest, migrate, eliminate).

It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications. It allows logical mapping and basic architecture design, making it similar to other tools used for creating schemas. The tool is easy to adopt and has a low barrier to entry in terms of usability. Overall, it is a user-friendly and comprehensive solution for optimizing IT landscapes.

We are system integrators for LeanIX. LeanIX works in the petroleum industry towards the production of petroleum products, supply and demand, supply chains. The company was looking for an end-to-end view of its environment and business capabilities across the organization. LeanIX is indicative of that process. I'm a company partner.

This is what we're using LeanIX for: clients come to us with a lot of apps they want to manage. There are too many apps out there, so they're not quite sure which app is doing what, so they come to us to rationalize these things, and they want to make sure that the landscape of the apps that they have are functional and actually fit their purpose. We utilize LeanIX for assessing the apps, and we come up with integrations. For example: how these applications are talking to each other, how data is exchanged, etc. We then come up with a target application landscape: which apps we'd maintain and which apps we'd sunset. From the CXO level, they'd get the overall view, in particular, how the IT landscape is, and that will help them increase capability and make it more aligned with their business needs.

LeanIX is an enterprise architecture management tool. In general, enterprise architecture is a comprehensive practice and this tool can be used for many aspects of the practice. Primarily, the tool manages Business Capabilities, Application, Technology and Data catalogues and linkages between them. The base package also includes the following catalogues that can be linked as well: User Groups - as the name suggests, user groups definition with different attributes Projects/Initiatives - very helpful for roadmapping exercises Interfaces - useful for various integrations modelling Technical Stack/Domains - for technologies/software/tools categorization Providers - providers of the items in the IT Components list In addition, there are add-on tools for the lifecycles of third-party tools - useful for technology/software currency management on the corporate level.
