Enterprise Architecture Management: Requirements for Conception of Key Figures to Ensure Transparency and Efficiency

Abstract

Companies are more and more dependent on information technology (IT) and the buzzword digitization is present everywhere. Information technology needs to be managed, serviced, and supported by IT organizations to ensure business continuity. Traditionally heads of the IT departments have been fully responsible for all aspects of IT usage in the company -including IT cost, IT governance, IT & process planning & implementation and IT operation. The change of technology offerings by external partners, results in a need to focus on strategic tasks like strategy and roadmap planning, IT governance, IT budgeting and enterprise architecture management (EAM). This results in the fact that there is a need of more intensive Business-IT alignment to ensure that IT architecture of a company supports the business processes at its best and to ensure the economic value contribution of IT as a hole. The development of a key figure system for EAM supports responsible managers to ensure efficiency of IT.The scope of this research in progress is, to understand the concept of Enterprise Architecture Management and Key Figures. Additionally, to explore the current state of scientific publications regarding the requirements and conception of Key Figure Systems. Purpose: The outcome will be used in future research to design a key figure system framework to enable practitioners to measure the efficiency of EAM. Methodology: This research is carried out using different methodologies of literature research and clustering techniques. Results: The literature review gives a structured overview over requirements for Key figures and their conception.

Metodología para la evaluación y comparación de marcos de trabajo de arquitectura empresarial

“…La definición de arquitectura empresarial surge de una analogía con la construcción (Perroud y Inversini, 2013;Vermeulen, 2013;Ferreira de Santana, 2017), sobre todo por el término arquitectura (Alwadain et al, 2014). También utilizada en la industria del software, el término arquitectura llevado al ámbito empresarial evolucionó para describir el diseño o plano de una organización en sí misma (Marini, 2019;Höpfner y Roscher, 2021;Ari y Utami, 2022).…”

“…Nunca se imaginó este importante académico estadounidense, la relevancia que tendría su concepto en la era de la industria digital (Chávez y Villar, 2020a; Galena et al, 2021). La arquitectura empresarial ha sido aclamada como un enfoque holístico para organizaciones complejas y fragmentadas (Hylving y Bygstad, 2018;Jayakrishnan et al, 2019;Sergeev y Solodovnikov, 2020), al mismo tiempo que se usa para describir de manera integral las organizaciones (Banaeianjahromi y Smolander, 2017;Caruso, 2019), para facilitar la transformación digital (Höpfner y Roscher, 2021), para la creación de sistemas ágiles (Lauvrak et al, 2017) y para manejar la complejidad (Brée y Karger, 2022).…”
