The integration between SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX is designed to create a transparent link between the business and IT landscapes. SAP Signavio models the business processes ("how" the business runs), while SAP LeanIX documents the enterprise architecture, including business applications ("what" IT assets are used). By linking specific business processes in Signavio to the corresponding application fact sheets in LeanIX, organizations gain a clear line of sight. This enables them to perform impact analysis, understanding how changes in the IT landscape affect business operations and vice versa, which is the cornerstone of effective business and IT alignment.

A. Integration solely enhances reporting capabilities.

This is too narrow. While reporting is improved, the core value lies in enabling collaborative transformation, impact analysis, and strategic decision-making, not just reporting.

B. The tools only provide visualization without actionable insights.

This is incorrect. The primary purpose of the integration is to generate actionable insights by correlating process performance with application data, enabling informed decisions on optimization and transformation.

C. Business processes are directly controlled by SAP LeanIX applications.

This misrepresents the relationship. The integration provides visibility and linkage; SAP LeanIX manages the IT application portfolio, but it does not directly control the execution or design of business processes, which are managed in SAP Signavio.
