“…Leading examples include: Zachman's Framework [Zachman, 1999]; The Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) and the Open Group's framework TOGAF and derivatives [Wisnosky andVogel, 2004, MoD, 2008]. Regardless of the specifics of the framework, as Tang et al note there are common deficiencies such as: (1) the level of detail required in an architecture model is not generally specified; (2) support, specification and management of non-functional requirements is lacking and (3) software configuration modeling is also generally lacking [Tang et al, 2004].…”

Business and IT alignment remains an ongoing concern for organizations. Enterprise Architecture has emerged as a possible tool for understanding and planning for BIA, but the current range of methods and frameworks for EA do not support precise measurement. In this paper, we propose a set of technologies and concepts -notably goals and computable functions which can be used to provide a measure of equivalence between as-is and to-be enterprise architectures. The goals enable description of business level requirements whilst the functions enable the goals to be evaluated at a technical architecture level. The technology is evaluated with a detailed and authentic case study from higher education.

“…Todas las arquitecturas analizadas incluyen en su marco de modelado la vista de información y sus relaciones con otras vistas (Tang et al, 2004;Cuenca et al, 2005;Boza et al, 2007). En algunas ocasiones se distingue entre el modelado de procesos de negocio y sus técnicas asociadas (Diagramas de flujo de proceso, IDEF0, Redes de Petri) y el modelado de sistemas de información (Diagramas de Flujo de datos, Diagramas Entidad Relación, UML), distinguiendo por tanto entre integración de la información e integración de procesos (Giaglis, 2001;Ni et al 2007).…”

ResumenEste artículo presenta una herramienta de software para la vista de información de la arquitectura CIMOSA (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Open System Architecture). El objetivo es permitir a los usuarios del negocio modelar las necesidades de información con un conjunto finito de constructores de modelado, completando el ciclo de vida de modelos de empresa definido por CIMOSA. En el desarrollo se han seguido las fases de la metodología METRICA para el análisis, diseño, construcción e implantación de sistemas. Entre los resultados obtenidos destacan el modelado a nivel de propiedades o elementos de información y sus características asociadas. Se concluye que la herramienta favorece la alineación entre negocio y sistema de información, evita redundancia e inconsistencias y facilita la flexibilidad del sistema de información. Palabras clave: integración empresarial, CIMOSA, vista de información, herramienta de software Development of a Software Tool for the Information View of the CIMOSA Architecture AbstractThis paper presents a software tool for the Information View of CIMOSA architecture (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Open System Architecture). The aim is to allow users to model the business information needs with a finite set of building blocks, completing the life cycle of models defined by CIMOSA. The METRIC methodology has been followed for the analysis, design, construction and implementation of the system. The results highlight the modeling of Information Elements and their associated characteristics. It is concluded that the tool promotes alignment between business and information system, avoiding redundancy and inconsistencies and provides flexibility for the information system.

“…EA is a coherent set of principles, methods and models used in the design of an enterprise's organisational structure, business processes, information systems and infrastructure (Lankhorst 2004). EA is the outcome, albeit an evolving one, of a strategic planning and management process to which an EA framework is applied to describe both the current (as-is) and future (to-be) states (Tang et al 2004).…”

Information systems and information technology (IS/IT, hereafter just IT) strategies usually depend on a business strategy. The alignment of both strategies improves their strategic plans. From an external perspective, business and IT alignment is the extent to which the IT strategy enables and drives the business strategy. This article reviews strategic alignment between business and IT, and proposes the use of enterprise engineering (EE) to achieve this alignment. The EE approach facilitates the definition of a formal dialog in the alignment design. In relation to this, new building blocks and life-cycle phases have been defined for their use in an enterprise architecture context. This proposal has been adopted in a critical process of a ceramic tile company for the purpose of aligning a strategic business plan and IT strategy, which are essential to support this process.
