UNLOCK ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE VALUE

LeanIX - Enterprise Architecture Management Platform

Modern enterprises thrive on agility and innovation, yet many still struggle with fragmented application landscapes, outdated dependencies, and hidden SaaS sprawl. Without transparency, IT and business leaders face blind spots in cost, risk, and strategy.

LeanIX changes this by illuminating the entire application portfolio, enabling smarter decisions, continuous modernization, and enterprise-wide collaboration. From eliminating redundancies to linking IT with business capabilities, LeanIX provides the visibility needed for true digital transformation.

Einar & Partners accelerate this journey, embedding governance, aligning enterprise architecture, and integrating LeanIX with frameworks like ServiceNow CSDM and operational systems. Done right, LeanIX becomes more than a platform; it’s the foundation for business agility — connecting architecture, operations, and strategy through living data.

LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Management

LeanIX provides the transparency enterprises need to manage complex IT landscapes and align them with business priorities. Whether it’s eliminating redundant applications or bridging the gap between IT and business capabilities, LeanIX serves as a central hub for decision-making.

By combining a living application portfolio with actionable insights, organizations can reduce costs, improve agility, and accelerate digital transformation.

Application Portfolio Management

Gain full visibility into your application landscape. Identify redundancies, optimize costs, and align IT applications directly with business capabilities and strategic goals. Factsheets in LeanIX capture the core data model, creating a shared source of truth across architecture, operations, and governance.

Business Capability Mapping

Create a shared language between IT and business. LeanIX connects applications and technology to business processes and capabilities, enabling data-driven transformation and investment decisions. This capability mapping can seamlessly integrate with ServiceNow CSDM, ensuring your CMDB and service models reflect real business impact.

Integration with ServiceNow CSDM

LeanIX and ServiceNow together provide a powerful combination. While LeanIX focuses on business capabilities and application portfolios, ServiceNow CSDM anchors this information in the CMDB and operational workflows. The result: a connected view where enterprise architecture insights directly drive IT service management, operations, and governance, ensuring operational data and architectural models evolve together.

Pillars for a successful LeanIX Implementation

Rolling out LeanIX is more than introducing a tool – it’s about creating a culture of transparency and business alignment. Enterprise architecture is often seen as abstract, but LeanIX transforms it into actionable insights for both IT and business leaders. To succeed, organizations must focus on governance, collaboration, and keeping the data relevant and alive.

Data Quality & Ownership

Who owns the application data? How often is it refreshed? Ensuring high-quality input and clear ownership of applications and capabilities is the foundation of making LeanIX a reliable source of truth. Factsheets must be actively governed to maintain their accuracy across teams.

Business Engagement

LeanIX only delivers value if business stakeholders are involved. Mapping business capabilities, aligning IT spend with strategy, and creating shared visibility requires strong collaboration beyond the IT team.

Governance & Processes

What is the lifecycle of an application in your portfolio? How do contracts, services, and applications connect to business outcomes? Defining and managing lifecycle stages in LeanIX, from planning to retirement, ensures architecture insights remain consistent with reality and linked to operations.

Continuous Modernization

Enterprise architecture is not a one-time project. LeanIX enables continuous rationalization, cloud migration support, and modernization efforts, especially when connected to ServiceNow CSDM and Operations, ensuring IT services remain relevant to evolving business needs and regulatory frameworks.
