LeanIX was founded because technology change and business alignment are unsolved challenges in many organizations. Complex and outdated IT landscapes often hold enterprises back from becoming fully agile, maximizing their customer experience or accelerating their time to market.

André Christ, LeanIX CEO & Co-Founder, describes the new approach: “LeanIX is like Google Maps for a company’s IT landscape: We provide information in the appropriate context to determine the exact location and to plan the future journey in a way the business understands.
