Define your transformation objectives, aligned with your business goals and measurable outcomes, based on the information you gathered using SAP LeanIX Application Portfolio Management:

  • Map your transformation objectives to your initiatives and business capabilities to understand how they support your strategy
  • Design your target architecture scenarios based on your goals using inventory data, best-practice reference content, and extensive diagram capabilities
  • Leverage architecture decisions to evaluate transformation options, align on choices, and maintain transparency from strategy to execution

Plan your transformation journey

Model your vision for your target architecture based on your current IT landscape to understand what impact your transformation will have before you start your initiative:

  • Link your overarching transformations to your planned projects in a single centralized view you can share with your stakeholders
  • Add completion dates and project milestones within your road map to ensure transparency and collaboration
  • Leverage our road map report to gain an overview of planned initiatives and check for conflicts before committing to implementations

Govern your transformations

Move from transformation road map to transformation reality by tracking your progress, updating your IT repository as changes are executed, and keeping stakeholders informed at every stage:

  • Automatically update your IT inventory and reports as you execute changes with a single click
  • Empower everyone in your organization to maintain oversight of how your IT landscape has changed over time in the executive dashboard
  • Track progress against transformation KPIs, and quickly identify when adjustment is needed
