Tie it all together and make sense of IT with the LeanIX Meta Model.
The predefined Meta Model allows you to quickly categorize and map the connections between your enterprise architecture’s fundamental components. Based on years of industry best practice, the Meta Model lets you focus on business impact, rather than reinventing the wheel by designing your own taxonomy.
- Our Meta Model defines relationships between the different Fact Sheets you can use to collect and consolidate information about architectural objects like apps, business capabilities, or IT components
- A pragmatic Meta Model both accelerates the implementation of LeanIX and ensures long-term success by providing a common framework for the entire organization to envision and execute technology transformation
- While our Meta Model is based on proven best practices, you are free to configure it for your own unique situation
