Guidance on how to map relationship between Application & Organisation fact sheet to define who owns, manages, uses application?

Our organization has experienced significant growth through acquisitions, leading to a diverse IT landscape. We have multiple sites within the same country using different applications for the same business capabilities. To better manage and streamline our IT environment, we need to capture detailed information about these applications. Specifically, we are looking to gather the following details:Application Ownership: We need to identify who is responsible for each application. This includes understanding who pays the bills, who makes key decisions regarding the application, and who has overall ownership. Application Maintenance: It is crucial to know who is in charge of maintaining each application. This includes not only vendor-provided applications but also the internal administration tasks such as user management, permissions, and monitoring. Application Usage: We want to understand who the end-users of each application are. This will help us in mapping the application usage acros

Inclusion of Application/Provider sub-processors into LeanIX

Hi folks, Just curious as to whether anyone is currently including information on sub-processors for Applications/Vendors in LeanIX based on application reviews etc. If so, have you found value in doing so and what have you found to be the most manageable way to reference these so that they are reportable/searchable if required? Thanks Anthony.

Searchable fact sheet fields

As far I could find in LeanIX documentation, LeanIX supports searches by fact sheet name, display name, description, tags, and sometimes alias.It seems that enabling other textual fields to be designated as searchable could provide significant value. Is this being considered as a future capability?In the meantime, are there any workarounds that could offer similar functionality?

Architecture Assessment calculation

Hi All - for each new application, we are performing an architecture assessment. We have 9 questions, each with 4 options that are rated 1-4.I’d like to create a calculated field that can get those values from 4 questions and create a calculation what is the total score Is it possible to somehow visually indicate for each answer (with colour etc) that the answer tends to be weak (e.g. not secure) or perfect fit to the landsscape.Is there a possibility to do that in LeanIX?

is there a way to query factsheet data as of a date in the past

I have a need to report on factsheet changes. however to use the audit logs, i have to query them factsheet by factsheet which is expensive. So I was looking to find the rev as of a date and get that rev data and compare with current version.Any other suggestions are welcome too

Application mastering in LeanIX & sending it to ServiceNow

Hi In my organization, we master applications in ServiceNow where Architects set up an application & multiple teams (Product, Support etc.) enhance the application with relevant details.We are working to pivot to LeanIX where Architects master the application in LeanIX, send the application to ServiceNow & other teams carry on enhancing the application.I am assuming we are not the first one doing such a change. I wish to connect & learn from LeanIX users who have done such a change in the past & if at all this is a good idea!Please share your experience on the journey & any best practices you recommend. ThanksHimanshu

How to Approach APLM: Starting with the Right Fields

Hello LeanIX Community 👋I’m currently working on Application Portfolio Lifecycle Management (APLM) and one of the most important steps I’ve found is to get the field model right before diving into deeper analysis or tool automation. To begin with - I’m going with below but, at this point I’m underconfident - given the new role. NameApplication StatusApplication TypeBudget OwnerFunctional OwnerBusiness CriticalityDescriptionHosting TypePerson ResponsiblesubtypeLifecycleBusiness CapabilitiesFunction User GroupGeography User GroupFunctional FitStrategic Application TypeTIME ClassificationTIME Classification DescriptionQuestion for the community: Which fields have been the most useful or impactful in your APLM journey? What do you think of above fields - good enough? Are there any fields you started with but later dropped as unnecessary noise? How did you drive cross-team agreement on field definitions? Looking forward to learning from your experiences.

Where did you (all) start?

Hi everyone,as I already mentioned in my personal introduction, I`m a freshman, so I hope that question doesn`t reach to far.Where did you start, as you started with LeanIX (EA)? (I hope the following thoughts narrow down a bit what I mean.)I understood, that you should start with Business Capabilities - which kind of makes sense. In the second step, you connect the application landscape to these business capabilities. Now to the…. First question: I read, that todays approach in EA is more agile (project by project). Means for me, you shouldn`t create that monster map, that shows “all” the dependencies and connections between business and IT. Is that correct?So have you generated your first content by joining a first project (e.g. new application XY) and then iteratively grew your EA by continuing that “process” (project by project by project)? Or have you at least started with the core applications or something similar? Second question:How “deep” your information is defined (by partit
