Obsolescence Risk Management

Make obsolescence risk manageable

How does LeanIX assist enterprise architects in managing tech obsolescence risks and making informed decisions?

Applications running on outdated infrastructure components create many risks for enterprises. These include security breaches, unplanned downtime, and system crashes. The financial, reputational, and regulatory consequences can be significant. Luckily, Enterprise Architects can minimize these risks with proactive tech obsolescence management.

Knowing which components are reaching their end of life/end of support – and when – is key to addressing risks before they become threats. LeanIX empowers enterprise architects to control tech obsolescence risk and make more informed rationalization, modernization, and budgeting decisions.
