Customer Session at LeanIX Connect Summit EMEA 2022

SAP’s EA management practice is the bedrock of their digital transformation and continuous evolution

SAP’s digital transformation has been ongoing for over a decade, including a massive “cloud-first” transformation. Enterprise architecture was a foundational element to SAP’s strategy-to-execution process.

In this enlightening presentation, SAP SE’s Head of Enterprise Architecture Marco Michel shares his experiences in leading EA for this massive undertaking, including facilitating collaboration between EA management and SAP's corporate strategy unit. He goes on to reveal how LeanIX is instrumental in providing the data and insight SAP needs to create roadmaps to successful digital transformation and cloud migration. Michel also shows how LeanIX is interconnected to many core processes and products, including SAP Analytics Cloud, Flexera and ServiceNow.

"We have successfully positioned LeanIX very centrally as the repository for architecture-relevant information and data."
