LeanIX is a software company that provides Enterprise Architecture and Cloud Governance solutions for organizations worldwide. However, LeanIX itself is a private company, so it doesn't have a parent company that owns it.

LeanIX's software allows organizations to visualize, manage, and analyze their IT landscapes, enabling them to make data-driven decisions about their IT systems, applications, and infrastructure. The company has received several awards for its innovative solutions, and its customers include well-known brands such as Adidas, DHL, and Merck.
