2. Why- Current Business and IT Challenges_1.mp4

Linax was founded more than 11 years ago to help organizations manage and transform their business and IT landscapes. Since then, Linax has become a leading provider of enterprise architecture management solutions, because it enables an intuitive, standardized and collaborative approach to EAM. Today, organizations need an EAM solution that makes it possible for IT to level up and meet the challenges posed by the need for continuous transformation. There are three key drivers behind this need. need. First, business transformation. Companies have had to pivot several times over the last years, moving to digital-first business models, remote-first work environments, and ongoing supply chain disruptions. Often, these changes demand the replacement or modernization of a company's ERP system. In addition to its strategic importance, an ERP transformation is one of the biggest projects an organization can undertake, touching every part of the business. Due to its complexity, such a transformation needs consistent transparency over the current R&P and non-R&P landscape, ongoing planning, change management, and close tracking. Secondly, the rise of digital platforms. In the automotive industry, for example, software will account for 80% of future innovations. Making the transition from a traditional manufacturing business to a software business calls for wide-ranging organisational change. Third, Generative AI. This technology brings the potential for massive disruption. Aside from potentially increasing the productivity of workers by 40%, Generative AI opens the door to incredible and unpredictable innovation. Adapting to these innovations will reside in ongoing re-architecturing of businesses and the solutions they sell. These are just three examples of trends impacting IT organizations around the world. They bring with them growing levels of complexity to the IT landscape. Much like an iceberg, these levels of complexity can be easily hidden below the surface. Failing to address this complexity reduces an organization's agility when it comes to transformation while increasing costs and risk. Without visibility into the complexity of the assets landscape, transformation stalls out. The question every organization must ask itself is, how can we design and build a technical infrastructure that supports continuous transformation in the business while fostering agility and promoting innovation? Enterprise architects have long helped organizations visualize and understand the complex relationship between the business and the technology that supports it. The transparency EAs provide also makes it possible for them to envision an optimal enterprise architecture and create a roadmap for getting there. As companies invest more and more in building their own software, and as software as a service decentralizes IT procurement, the need for a comprehensive overview of the evolving IT landscape, the kind of overview EAs can provide, becomes even more critical. Here is where LenaX comes into play. LenaX provides a well-integrated single source of truth regarding the IT landscape. It's many interdependencies and its connection to the overall business. This single source of truth democratizes architectural transparency, supports data-driven decisions, enables collaboration across an often siloed organization, and drives better business outcomes, higher agility, reduced risk, and lower costs. Let's look at the linear x-value proposition in the next lesson.
