The AI-augmented IT governance platform for budget planning, enterprise architecture, and portfolio management.
Built by an IT director who got tired of duct-taping spreadsheets, wikis, and project tools together.
Website | Documentation | Source docs
IT departments juggle budgets across spreadsheets, track applications in wikis, and manage projects in yet another tool. Nothing connects. When the CFO asks "what are we spending on that system?", the answer takes days to assemble.
KANAP replaces that patchwork with a single platform where costs link to applications, applications link to projects, and projects link back to budgets. One source of truth, zero complexity theater.
Budget Management: Multi-year OPEX and CAPEX planning with six allocation methods, multi-currency support, CSV import/export, and executive reporting including chargeback and analytics dashboards. Track contracts with links to OPEX/CAPEX items, attachments, deadlines, and automated expiration warnings.
IT Landscape: Document and visualize your information system: application portfolio, infrastructure assets, network interfaces and connections with interactive architecture maps, location and subnet management, and business process catalog.
Portfolio Management: Manage the project lifecycle from initial request through delivery with roadmap scheduling and capacity analysis.
Unified Tasks: One task system spanning budget items, contracts, CAPEX items, and projects with status tracking, assignments, and email notifications.
Knowledge Management: Govern your IT documentation with a built-in markdown editor, structured libraries, review and approval workflows, version history, and export to PDF, DOCX, and ODT. Documents link directly to applications, projects, assets, and tasks.
AI Agents: Ask questions, create documents, manage tasks, and explore all your data through natural-language chat. KANAP's AI layer works across all modules and is also available as an MCP server, so external AI tools can interact with your governance data directly.
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | NestJS, TypeScript, TypeORM |
| Frontend | React, TypeScript, Vite, MUI, AG Grid, TanStack Query |
| Database | PostgreSQL 16 with Row-Level Security |
| Infrastructure | Docker, Nginx, S3-compatible storage |
Multi-tenant by design — single database with RLS isolation, subdomain routing, and RBAC.
KANAP on-premise runs in single-tenant mode with Docker. Two ways to get started:
- AI-accelerated installation: Let an AI assistant guide you through setup interactively. Fastest path to a running instance.
- Manual installation : Step-by-step guide with full control over every configuration detail.
Both paths require PostgreSQL 16+, S3-compatible object storage, and a TLS reverse proxy.

KANAP is free to self-host using the on-premise deployment mode. A managed cloud service is available at kanap.net starting at EUR 49/month.
