agree Paul Cohen : Yep, a kindred creative bod. My first thought was 'rapidly growing'... but 'mushrooming' does the trick for me.

--> simplification of a varied [and] "matured" IT landscape
Peer comment(s):

neutral Paul Cohen : Why would anyone want to reduce something that is 'mature'? Could you elaborate on that? / 'Mature' does not imply in need of simplification (or streamlining).

no one is 'reducing' anything; this isn't a soufle that we're talking about here - reduzierung hier im sinne von simplification ...
disagree Stephen Gobin : Peter - Are you thinking of "aufgewachsen"? grown up?
15 mins
no..., not erwachsen; IT landscape is a mature landscape that requires simplification; other options are reductions on this thought

diverse IT landscapes that have developed over time

may be too unwieldy for your purpose though.
