A Reference Model for the Information-Based Support of Enterprise Transformations

Abstract

Enterprises from time to time have to go through radical changes, oftentimes referred to as enterprise transformations (ETs). Depending on the type of ET that is conducted, different information requirements exist. In order to support ETs, a reference information model should therefore distinguish different ET types. Based on the empirical analysis of ETs that is used to determine four ET types with different information requirements, we construct such a reference model in the paper at hand. The application of the model is exemplified with the case of enterprise architecture management as an information provider.

Gestaltungsbereiche der Digitalen Transformation von Unternehmen: Entwicklung eines Reifegradmodells

“…Damit verbunden ist die Fähigkeit, Fehler offen zu kommunizieren und als Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeit für das Unternehmen zu begreifen. Der dritte Gestaltungsbereich ist das Performance Measurement der Transformation, also die Definition und regelmässige Überprüfung von Zielwerten für entsprechende Aktivitäten (Janssen et al 2011;Buchwald et al 2014;Labusch et al 2014).…”

Information Provision as a Success Factor in the Architectural Support of Enterprise Transformations

“…Asfaw et al [10] analyze enablers and challenges in driving ETs using EA concepts. They decompose ETM in three components: communications, 1 Additional parts of the survey are presented and applied in [22]. The original contribution of this paper is the analysis of data related to the success of the ETs and the available information.…”
