CTO & CIOs: stop burning AI talent rewriting ERP/HCM/CRM and others. IT is 10% of company budget; and you're missing security, compliance, and enterprise basics along the way. The other 90%? Procurement, ops, finance - still running on spreadsheets. That's your asymmetric AI bet.

„Win your category“ is what we believe in at @leanix_net too. The category of Enterprise architecture was 10+ y old and had 15 vendors in the @Gartner_inc MQ when we entered. Difficult for early investors. Now we have the highest ARR. Persistence and passion made it possible.
"Now that there are 100+ public SaaS companies, we can finally answer a question — is it better to start a company that remakes an existing category, or that creates a new one?"

ChatGPT is one of those rare moments in technology where you see a glimmer of how everything is going to be different going forward.
Could not agree more. If @leanix_net was started purely on microservices, company would not exist. We stayed monolith during bootstrapping and still run a large core service. It has saved us from tons of distributed systems complexities. Microservices around core to scale teams.

Architectures drawn on whiteboards are outdated the moment you are done. @elonmusk a data-driven tool like @leanix_net might save you a lot of headache 😀
