From rigid EA
to Agile EA.

One connected repository — strategy, initiative, business, application and technology — as a live “digital copy” of your organization. As an EA tool, a documentation tool, a diagramming tool, and a governance-ready repository.

LeanIX landscape pan-out — whole organization as one connected graph
Capture 01 — Landscape The whole organization as one connected graph, strategy → capability → application → technology.

The EA Shift

Bringing all domains together

05 min

Customers usually run separate, disconnected tools per domain. EA unifies them into one connected view — the meta model aligns with the SAP EA metamodel.

The three core layers
  • BusinessBusiness Capabilities, Organization, Business Context
  • ApplicationApplications, Interfaces, Data Objects
  • TechnologyIT Components, Providers, Tech Categories
  • Strategy & TransformationObjectives, Initiatives, Platforms — the steering layer on top
EA = (Solution Architect + Business Architect) + Strategic

Think of a tower — every floor (domain) must connect to build something taller. EA is the steel frame that links them, with a strategic layer guiding the ascent.

Tool & EA Framework

Overview LeanIX

07 min

A digital repository — it taps in and pulls source (ServiceNow, BMC, custom databases), and it does not replace your operating tools; domain experts stay. Fact sheets are simpler than ArchiMate/TOGAF, still aligned and interchangeable, and extensible to your needs.

The SAP EA Approach & Fact Sheet types

11 fact-sheet types across 4 layers — a best-practice meta model that’s opinionated by default, so you get value faster, yet extendable.

Repository · Governance · Data Freshness

Governance & data that stays fresh

10 min

The repository is only as good as its data. LeanIX keeps it governed and current through automatic validation, a full audit trail, and periodic surveys to owners.

LeanIX Quality Seal — automated rule validation
Capture 06 — Quality Seal Each quality rule is validated automatically — pass/fail at a glance.
LeanIX fact-sheet history — interactive audit trail
Capture 07 — History Who changed it, when, and exactly what — an interactive audit trail.
LeanIX survey questionnaire to the application owner
Capture 08 — Survey A short questionnaire to the application owner drives the periodic refresh.
What I show in LeanIX
  • Open a fact sheet and read its default attributes.
  • Open the Quality Seal panel — rule-by-rule pass/fail.
  • Open fact-sheet history — who / when / what.
  • Create and run a survey, and show the owner’s response flow.

Visualization & Regulatory Compliance

Diagramming, history & risk

08 min

Easy, drawio-like diagramming — but data-driven: relations come from fact sheets, so diagrams always match the repository. Revisit the past via diagram history, and meet audits with a color-coded risk dashboard.

LeanIX data-driven diagramming from fact-sheet relations
Capture 09 — Diagramming Build/edit diagrams from existing fact-sheet relations — like drawio, but always consistent.
LeanIX diagram history — timeline slider of previous architecture states
Capture 10 — Diagram history A timeline slider — see the architecture from last year to today.
LeanIX self-service portal
Capture 11 — Portal Self-service: find an app, order software, see the approved technology catalog.
LeanIX technology risk & EOL dashboard
Capture 12 — EOL dashboard Red / yellow / green technology risk matrix — answers audit & compliance.
What I show in LeanIX
  • Open a diagram and build/edit it live from fact-sheet relations.
  • Flip through diagram history states.
  • Open a portal view.
  • Show the tech risk / EOL dashboard with color-coded risk.
05
AI Capability & Integration

AI + the connected ecosystem

10 min

AI describes, creates, and connects: natural-language search, AI-generated descriptions, the AI Inventory Builder, and an MCP server that lets agents query your architecture. Integrations flow out-of-the-box (ServiceNow) or over a custom REST/GraphQL API.

AI — describe, create, connect
  • Joule / AI Copilotask in natural language — “cloud apps with no data owner”
  • AI descriptionsAI-assisted text on fact sheets
  • AI Inventory Builderupload an image/diagram → auto-extract fact sheets & relations
  • MCP server (optional live)an AI agent queries the inventory securely
Click a sample prompt to see the instant result the audience would see in LeanIX.
Capture 13–15 — AI Joule prompt result, Inventory Builder extraction, and an MCP-connected agent.
Integrations — out-of-the-box & custom

Native, certified connector — syncs CMDB / SAM / software-hardware, aligns IT Components → Applications → Business Capabilities, and syncs lifecycle data back.

LeanIX ServiceNow integration config
Capture 16 — ServiceNow The out-of-the-box data flow.
What I show in LeanIX
  • Type a Joule prompt and show the results.
  • Generate a description on a fact sheet.
  • Run the Inventory Builder on an image.
  • (Optional) Query via MCP from an AI chat.
  • Show the ServiceNow config and a sample API call.
  • Do an Excel export (or import) round-trip.
