Enables us to present data and objects visually, in diagrams, and to make them available via the web. Also enables web-based editing of data.
We tried their collaborative web modeling and we used it with a few people but we tend to not use that piece. We tend to collaborate with the people and then my team of architects draws up the diagram using the modeling tool. We then iterate through those. I would like to use it, but it was a little clunky when they first rolled it out. Overall, it's more about the company having room for improvement. What they need to do is to consolidate more of their products. For example, I was just looking and I couldn't figure out what erwin DT is. It's on the website but it would help if they could put information together and make it more clear as to what products they have and how they work with other things. I hear them talking in the support forums and, when I talk to the representative, they say they're going to do a bunch of stuff but it seems the progress is slow. The changes they need to make are to take their old, legacy product, which we use, and focus a lot on it so they can transform it into a modern cloud tool so that we have fewer little pieces to deal with. They could also fix their security model. It's very confusing to get new people onto the tool and to make sure that your content isn't being exposed to the wrong people.

Streamlines the process of identifying apps nearing end-of-life or requiring retirement and facilitates informed decisions about app retention
When we input our inventory and components, it tells us which ones are nearing end-of-life, deprecated, or obsolete. It also categorizes them. We've added flags, essentially tags, to mark certain things as non-strategic technologies. Using LeanIX, we made conscious decisions about which technologies are strategic and which aren't. This allows us to generate reports highlighting applications written in non-strategic technologies, giving us a better picture of our inventory size and what needs to migrate to the cloud or our target technology. So, it's about understanding what we have, seeing how it aligns with our strategic direction, and then driving the movement towards that direction.
