Siemens Healthineers modernizes IT Demand Management with Stackgini & SAP LeanIX
Siemens Healthineers shows Stackgini & SAP LeanIX integration at SAP The Hague
Stackgini, the first platform for modern IT Demand Management, will be a Gold Sponsor of this year’s SAP Transformation Excellence Summit 2025 in The Hague, Netherlands. With more than 2,000 participants from across Europe, the event is recognized as the leading conference for business transformation. As an exclusive Gold Sponsor, Stackgini will play a key role in shaping this year’s summit.
A special highlight will be the joint session by Armin Hoffmann (Head of Enterprise Architecture Methods & Processes, Siemens Healthineers) and Michael Stedler (Co-Founder, Stackgini). With the presentation “IT Demand Management 2.0 – Maximize application portfolio re-use, cut costs, and manage complexity”, they will demonstrate how Siemens Healthineers is modernizing the interaction between Enterprise Architecture, IT Demand Management, and Compliance using SAP LeanIX and Stackgini.
At the core of this transformation, SAP LeanIX serves as the strategic hub for managing enterprise-wide transformation. Stackgini extends this foundation as the operational extension, enabling SAP LeanIX’s strategic architecture data with further external market intelligence and AI capabilities. This way, IT teams seamlessly translate business ideas into IT solutions, while maximizing reuse of the existing IT portfolio.
And there’s more. As an independent provider of market intelligence, Stackgini enriches SAP LeanIX’s inventory data with valuable market insights, making SAP LeanIX even stronger for the transformation journey.
This tight integration creates a win-win effect for both platforms:
- With intuitive, natural language access to internal IT portfolio data, business units can instantly see whether existing solutions meet their needs — driving reuse, reducing redundancy, and delivering faster time-to-value
- By combining SAP LeanIX and Stackgini, Enterprise Architecture teams gain a scalable, data-driven foundation that evolves continuously — empowering better IT decisions, deeper risk insights, and strategic investment choices.
“Stackgini enables companies to truly understand business needs, leverage existing solutions, and prevent unnecessary new purchases,” says Michael Stedler, Co-Founder of Stackgini. “This allows IT teams to maximize the return on their existing IT investments rather than continuously adding new tools and applications.”

“With the SAP LeanIX and Stackgini integration, we enrich the IT demand funnel with context directly from the organization’s enterprise architecture. Together, we're connecting the business's IT needs to real-time architecture data — reducing complexity, enabling smarter reuse and facilitating continuous IT cost optimization across the enterprise.”

Driving IT Cost Optimization Through Intelligent Reuse
The technology partnership empowers organizations to automatically evaluate incoming business requests against their existing application portfolio in SAP LeanIX, promoting the reuse of technology they already have before considering new purchases or custom development. By enriching the internal SAP LeanIX factsheets with the external Stackgini market data assets, enterprises gain crystal-clear visibility into the entire IT landscape. This tool combination prevents new redundancies in the IT portfolio and maximizes the Return-On-Investment of IT. Static inventory data is turned into intelligent and enriched demand-intake systems that are highly accessible to business stakeholders.
This not only reduces redundancy and accelerates decision-making but also directly supports enterprise-wide IT cost optimization. The partnership further underscores SAP LeanIX’s and Stackgini’s commitment to an open ecosystem - working with partners to drive continuous, data-driven optimization across the entire IT4IT stack.
“IT Demand Management is not about workflows and approvals anymore but data and intelligence. Joining forces with SAP LeanIX reflects our shared belief in the power of an open ecosystem. By combining both solutions, organizations obtain true data-driven control over their IT portfolio. Together, we’re turning architecture data into actionable intelligence that empowers teams to prevent unnecessary IT spend and maximize reuse of their IT portfolio."
