“…Alignment, though not explicitly stated, has been one of the required steps in deriving sector-specific reference architectures from generic ones. In the agri-food sector, for instance, many reference architectures have been developed by adapting and extending existing generic reference architectures, such as EPCIS, EDI, ISA-95 (Scholten 2007) and SCOR (Verdouw et al 2010, Medini and Bourey 2012, Bruno and Viola 2016, Kidane and Kim 2016, Jung et al 2017, Kruize 2017. The reference architectures are derived by considering many different use case scenarios.…”

Businesses today rarely operate in isolation but must collaborate with others in a coordinated fashion. For supporting collaboration, it is important that business processes and the supporting IT systems of participants are well aligned. Although the business-IT alignment problems have been broadly addressed in the literature the focus has been mainly on alignment within an organisation, and less attention has been given to the alignment across multiple organisations. Specifically, the alignment of business collaboration processes and the supporting distributed IT system has not been addressed systematically. In this paper, we propose BITA*, which is a business-IT alignment framework for multiple and diverse collaborating organisations. BITA* includes both the required alignment modelling abstractions as a coherent set of design viewpoints, as well as a systematic approach for applying the modelling abstractions. BITA* provides three viewpoints to be used by three groups of stakeholders. The BP2BP alignment viewpoint is used by business analysts to align diverse business collaboration process models. The IT2IT alignment viewpoint is used by software architects to align diverse models for the distribution of data and IT systems. The BP2IT alignment viewpoint is used by an interdisciplinary team to align diverse models for supporting the business collaboration processes with the distributed IT system. The application of the framework is demonstrated using a real-life business case.
