SAP LeanIX
A cloud service that records an organization's applications, technologies and business capabilities as linked fact sheets, scores them for cost, risk and fit, and plans target architectures and roadmaps from that inventory. Application Portfolio Management is the base product, with roadmap planning and technology risk as add-ons; priced by application count.

How to read maturity and confidence
Maturity · how much it covers
- core
- What the product is built around; the capability is covered end to end.
- strong
- Covered well, with a few gaps a buyer would notice.
- partial
- Covers part of the capability; expect to pair it with something else.
- emerging
- New or thin; on the roadmap more than in the product.
Confidence · how well it is evidenced
- Evidence confidence: high
- The vendor's own documentation describes this module doing it.
- Evidence confidence: medium
- Documented, but how far it reaches into the capability is our reading.
- Evidence confidence: low
- Our judgment; we found no public page that confirms it.
