Catalog applications and vendors, map dependencies and business capabilities, then use AI-assisted TIME analysis to support rationalization decisions with evidence your architecture and IT portfolio teams can review.
Answer first
Iyene by Archiet is application-portfolio and capability intelligence for enterprise architects and IT portfolio teams. It brings application and vendor records, ArchiMate-grounded capability mapping, dependency context, and AI-assisted TIME rationalization into one workspace so teams can make better-supported portfolio decisions. Community access supports one user and up to 10 applications without a subscription fee.
Iyene covers inventory, capability mapping, dependency modeling, and TIME rationalization for teams that need a lighter starting point than SAP LeanIX. It is not presented as feature-for-feature parity with the full LeanIX suite.
| Capability | Iyene | SAP LeanIX |
|---|---|---|
| Application inventory | Applications, vendors, owners, lifecycle, cost, and technical health | Broad enterprise portfolio management suite |
| Capability mapping | ArchiMate-grounded business and application-layer mapping | Confirm required modeling depth with SAP LeanIX |
| Rationalization | AI-assisted TIME scoring plus duplicate detection | Confirm current rationalization features and licensing |
| Starting access | Community: $0 for one user and up to 10 applications | Enterprise pricing |
Iyene by Archiet is application-portfolio and capability intelligence for enterprise architects and IT portfolio teams. It brings application and vendor records, ArchiMate-grounded capability mapping, dependency context, and AI-assisted TIME rationalization into one workspace.
Iyene is a focused option for teams evaluating application inventory, business-capability mapping, dependency modeling, and TIME rationalization. SAP LeanIX is a broader, mature enterprise suite, so buyers should compare each product against their required integrations and governance workflows.
Iyene offers Community access at no subscription cost for one user and up to 10 applications. Teams with larger portfolios should contact Archiet for current expanded-access options.
No. A CMDB focuses on operational configuration items and infrastructure relationships. Iyene focuses on strategic application-portfolio context: ownership, cost, lifecycle, business capabilities, application dependencies, and rationalization decisions.
Iyene uses an ArchiMate-grounded model for business capabilities and application-layer elements, including components, services, functions, data objects, and typed relationships. It also includes import and mapping workflows for structured architecture data.
Iyene uses the TIME framework—Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, or Eliminate—to assess applications across technical health, business value, cost efficiency, and vendor risk. Its AI-assisted analysis also supports duplicate and redundancy detection.
AppFolio connects portfolio records to the capabilities and dependencies that give them strategic context, then supports evidence-based rationalization.
Create a structured inventory of applications and vendors, or use the spreadsheet import workflow to bring existing portfolio data into Iyene.
Connect applications to business capabilities, owners, costs, lifecycle information, and typed dependencies in an ArchiMate-grounded model.
Use portfolio views and structured records to review technical health, business value, costs, vendor risk, and application relationships.
Use AI-assisted TIME analysis and duplicate detection to develop rationalization recommendations for human review.
Iyene adds a decision layer to structured portfolio data. Recommendations remain visible for an architect to review.
Iyene's AI-assisted portfolio analysis supports:
Applications that are redundant or overlapping in function
TIME recommendations: Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, or Eliminate
Scores across technical health, business value, cost efficiency, and vendor risk
A named decision framework makes the reasoning easier to inspect, challenge, and explain to stakeholders.
Traditional tools track assets. Iyene connects applications to business value.
Limited context. Static data. No strategic insights.
Strategic portfolio context for architecture and investment decisions.
Iyene doesn't replace your CMDB. It gives application-portfolio data meaning, context, and intelligence.
Iyene helps you answer questions your organization has been avoiding:
How many applications do we actually have?
Which apps support our most critical business capabilities?
What's the real cost per business capability?
Which tools are redundant, unused, or past their lifecycle?
What systems would be impacted if this app failed?
Who owns each application, and what is its lifecycle status?
Iyene gives teams one structured place to investigate and maintain the portfolio questions that matter most.
Build a structured application inventory, connect it to business capabilities, and use a named rationalization framework to support the next portfolio decision.
