Dura Vermeer takes control of IT with SAP LeanIX

Together with Dura Vermeer, we explored how to bring more structure and clarity to their diverse IT landscape. SAP LeanIX proved to be the ideal solution, offering a centralized view that supports informed decision-making and future-proof planning. SAP interviewed Dura Vermeer about the approach - you can read the full version via the link below.

From that story, we’ve outlined the five key steps that made the greatest impact.

5 key steps to impressive results

1. Start with clarity
   Workshops and demos gave IT architects and application managers a clear picture of what LeanIX could offer. A six-week training program laid the foundation
   
2. Centralize information
   All IT projects and applications were brought together in one shared environment. No more scattered spreadsheets, just one central knowledge base.
   
3. Smart surveys and roadmaps
   With LeanIX surveys, Dura Vermeer now quickly gathers targeted information about applications and their owners. Roadmap planning helps structure and track projects more effectively.
   
4. Tool rationalization
   In an initial workshop, the team discovered 15 different PDF viewers in use. After analysis, only 4 remained: a clear win.
   
5. Focus on adoption and collaboration
   Internal champions and clear communication helped build support. IT teams, product owners, and developers now work together toward a shared vision.
