• Where is the business impacted when IT applications fail (SLA)?
• Which dependencies are preventing a faster sunset of legacy?
• In what priority can we move applications into the cloud?

• Which applications can I reuse instead of investing twice?
• Which (IT) owners do I need to involve when I start a project?
• Which applications store sensitive data objects (GDPR)?
• Which applications are at risk due to legacy technology?
• Which standards should I use to avoid technology proliferation?
• Which products & vendors are we using, where can we consolidate?

CONFLUENCE
INTEGRATION

25. Add any LeanIX Report to your Confluence pages
25
• LeanIX comes with a variety
of built-in and custom
Reports that can all be
included in your Confluence
pages to help you make use
of your visualized data in
the relevant context.
• Amongst the Report types
are Roadmaps, Application
Portfolios, and Application
Landscape Heat Maps.

26. Configure the view of the Report to your needs
26
• Narrow down the result set
of your desired Report
through filters and facets
and save it as a Bookmark in
LeanIX. Simply insert your
Bookmark into any
Confluence page. Make the
Report fit your page by
simply configuring height
and width.
• Once inserted, you can use
further view settings of the
Report, like zooming in or
out or selecting the levels
that should be displayed in
the Report.

27. Have real-time data on hand
27
• Whenever something
changes in LeanIX, it
changes live in the Report in
your Confluence page as
well, no matter if the view
on the Report is changed or
something in the Fact
Sheets itself changes.
• Also, you can easily navigate
out of your embedded
Report directly into the
corresponding LeanIX
Factsheets.
