The high-level representation of the out-of-the-box meta model below shows the associated relationships:
The SAP LeanIX meta model covers all layers of enterprise architecture, allowing for structured data across four crucial dimensions to support comprehensive business transformations in strategy and transformation, business architecture, application and data architecture, and technical architecture. With a predefined meta model, organizations can achieve fast time to value, quickly transforming data into insights, insights into actions, and actions into results.
