LeanIX once again lead partner at "Rethink! IT"

The SaaS company positions itself with microservices topic at the leading European IT event.

Bonn, April 19 – LeanIX, the startup from Bonn, is the reconfirmed lead event partner at "Rethink! IT Europe" in London and André Christ (34), founder and Co-CEO, will present his company to 200 top IT decision-makers.

It is only for the second time that "Rethink! IT" is hosted in London from April 27 to 28. Nevertheless, the event has already made a name for itself among CIOs and IT decision makers. For the second time, LeanIX will take part as the lead event partner, which includes a keynote presentation, workshop, and a branded booth during the two-day event. Under the slogan "Defining the future enterprise IT stack" representatives of high-ranking companies will come together at the Hilton London Canary Wharf hotel. "This development of "Rethink! IT" not only confirms our early engagement, but also motivates us to continue along this path together with the organizers," says André Christ. "It is a well-made and successful event, which is becoming increasingly important and we look forward to being the lead event partner again this year."

"To realize the leading IT event for CIOs and senior IT directors across Europe, the right partners are crucial. Which is why we are looking forward to seeing LeanIX spearheading the event again this year. The keynote of André Christ will be one of the highlights," says Taz Shariff, Chief Conector and Co-Founder UK of We.Conect, the organizers of the event. “There will be a LeanIX workshop on DevOps and Microservices on the first day, which complements the keynote perfectly.”

The German start-up provides the leading enterprise architecture management (EAM) solution as software-as-a-service in the public cloud or in the data center of the customer. The application seamlessly combines the elements of information technology with the business activities and provides companies with a simple and fast inventory of their IT. "We provide our customers with a type of map of their information technology," says Co-Founder André Christ.

LeanIX enables companies of all sizes not only to transform digitally with technology "Made in Germany", but also to change the way EAM is used. Customers such as Adidas, Axel Springer, Beiersdorf, DHL and RWE already trust LeanIX and the "TÜV"-certified technologies. The start-up from Bonn has also expanded its customer base to the US market and has won well-known companies such as Haworth and Flagstar Bank as clients.
