Obsolescence Risk Management

Interactive Tour

See how it works in action

Applications running on outdated infrastructure components create many enterprise risks and can cause significant financial, reputational, and regulatory consequences. Knowing which components are reaching their end of life/end of support – and when – is crucial in addressing risks before they become threats. SAP LeanIX empowers enterprise architects to control tech obsolescence risk and make more informed rationalization, modernization, and budgeting decisions.
