SAP LeanIX’s Continuous Transformation Platform® offers SaaS solutions to help IT architects, IT asset managers, business leaders, and DevOps teams achieve transparency and control over their enterprise architecture, SaaS, and microservices landscapes.

In a great workplace, employees are more engaged by having information in an understandable context and by feeling confident that decisions are made based on facts.

SAP LeanIX is the single source of truth for Corporate IT and Product IT to create transparency of the present and derive actions, shaping the future in an understandable business context.

We are offering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for managing Enterprise Architecture and multi-cloud environments to enable organizations to take faster, data-driven decisions in their IT.

Experience how SAP LeanIX empowers organizations to plan and navigate transformations with confidence by defining a clear and actionable target architecture. In this webinar, we’ll explore why many transformations fall short today and demonstrate how SAP LeanIX brings business-wide transparency and collaboration when deciding on and planning your target architecture. You’ll learn about the role of target architecture planning, see the current capabilities in action, and uncover best practices to overcome common challenges. We’ll also share a preview of upcoming innovations designed to further enhance how you define and realize your future-state architecture.

Companies that depend on self-built software to drive revenue need greater visibility into the microservices and technology frameworks used in their IT portfolio. Self-built software visibility is essential in preventing tech sprawl and in establishing better tech stack governance. 

The Github Enterprise integration enhances self-built software discovery by providing visibility into the microservices available in GitHub repositories, and into dependencies to technology frameworks and teams developing them.

What we will cover:
- How the out-of-the-box GitHub Enterprise integration works
- Best practices for modelling microservices in SAP LeanIX
- How to use built-in reports to prevent tech sprawl and establish better tech stack governance
- Why preventing better governance and tech sprawl prevention support the CIO and CTO goals.

Ready to enhance your visibility into self-built software? Request a demo of SAP LeanIX today! (https://www.leanix.net/en/demo-eam)

Join this session and understand how the GitHub Enterprise integration automates self-built software discovery and why visibility into microservices helps the enterprise architect support the CIO and CTO agenda.

Tech debt is unavoidable. For this reason, rather than trying to eliminate it, companies need to figure out ways to manage it. This involves making conscious decisions about the real risks associated with tech debt, where tech debt needs to be address head on, and where a certain amount of tech debt is acceptable. In this panel discussion, you will hear how different organizations approach tech debt and learn how you can think through your own tech debt challenges.
