Requirements for a Solid
APM Use Case

Linking Business Capabilities with Applications is essential for Enterprise Architecture repositories.

These relationships can easily be established in LeanIX by importing both raw or already related data via Excel or through its integrations with IT Management solutions and Open APIs.
