SAP LeanIX Use Cases & Products

As an Enterprise Architect, you steer the initiatives that shape the digital landscape of your organization. One of your initial tasks using SAP LeanIX is conducting an application portfolio assessment. This involves systematically reviewing and documenting your organization's applications, and assessing their inter-dependencies, usage, and business contribution. Beyond this foundational task, SAP LeanIX helps you with a range of use cases:

Application Portfolio Assessment

Application Portfolio Assessment is usually the first step on your journey with SAP LeanIX. It helps you build a repository of your applications and drive faster technical and functional assessments, for example, when migrating applications to the cloud, integrating IT systems and acquiring or retiring technologies.

Below, we explain the typical business drivers for application portfolio assessment and how to use SAP LeanIX to realize this use case. You learn step by step:

  1. Why application portfolio assessment is a primary use case for most organizations, and which typical questions can you answer with it?
  2. What application portfolio assessment is?
  3. How you can get started to build your SAP LeanIX repository and run the first assessments of your application portfolio with SAP LeanIX?

Why Application Portfolio Assessment?

No matter if your organization's priority is to save costs, reduce risks, do a cloud migration, or do another transformation. Getting a 360° overview of the IT landscape is the initial step to realizing any use case. Getting an overview of the portfolio is not a trivial task. It is an increasing challenge given the expansion of IT usage in companies, the constant changes organizations undergo (for example, transformation, new customer needs), an increase of SaaS usage, and, more recently, of microservices and software companies, building themselves.

IT has become a significant cost factor and an aspect of innovation and competitiveness. Knowing the state of all IT assets they have is a crucial responsibility and concern for CIOs and their teams. Application portfolio assessment helps EAs to understand their IT landscape.

Application Rationalization

The application portfolio is an essential aspect of any IT landscape. Ensuring that the portfolio is optimized to meet an organization’s operational and financial needs is the key to ongoing business success.

By reducing complexity, managing cost, and aligning applications with critical business capabilities, organizations can improve their overall effectiveness and competitiveness. A well-organized, up-to-date application repository is essential for all these initiatives. Complex spreadsheets just can’t do the job.

Why Is Application Rationalization a Relevant Use Case?

For most of the organizations that are using SAP LeanIX, application rationalization is a key use case. The goal is to clean up their application landscape and achieve efficiency gains and reduce costs right away.

Application rationalization can also pave the way for other use cases. These initiatives are easier to realize once you have an efficient IT landscape in place and all redundancies and inefficiencies have been removed.
