Evaluation of enterprise architecture complexity enables organisations to assess their current situation. More specifically, it allows optimize the alignment, business strategy, organisational culture, business, people, process and technology. This optimization architecture provides a cost-effective and also helps to ensure the proper execution of objectives and organisational goals. However the whole evaluation of EA regarding its quality and benefits is rather difficult. This paper presents a new method to evaluate the enterprise architecture complexity and facilitating deciding between different TO-BE architecture scenarios. The proposed method is based on the network graph and fuzzy AHP.
