Enterprise Architecture Functions for Villages in Indonesia: a Perspective on Indonesia’s Village Law

Abstract

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is often used by organizations as a tool to support for achieving organizational goals. The EA supports achieving organizational goals because of its functions. This paper discusses the results of literature review for the EA function. There are at least three reasons for using EA in organizations: its complexity, external force to change, and the alignment of business with Information Technology (IT). Furthermore, this paper also discusses how the EA functions can offer benefit for the Village Law. The Village Law is a legal product in Indonesia that is used as a legal umbrella to build Indonesia. A proper EA function perspective is needed to build a village supported by information technology.
