Roadmap for building effective complex enterprise architecture in digital transformation: An experience-based industry best practices summary

Managing digital transformation of smart cities through enterprise architecture – a review and research agenda

“…While the literature on digital transformation offers clarity on adoption, there are fewer studies that investigated digital transformation in the context of smart cities. However, at the moment, only fewer studies (Vobugari, Srinivasan, and Somayajulu 2017;Bosdriesz et al 2018;Gampfer 2018) has explored the phases of digital transformation in urban environment (Mendhurwar and Mishra 2019). Thus, this section resolves this gap in the literature.…”

“…Similarly, the main challenges lie in the need for cities to develop platform-based ecosystems that breaks system silos (Dapp 2017). Therefore, there is need to transcend traditional silos in order to create new paths interlinking systems software and hardware (Vobugari, Srinivasan, and Somayajulu 2017). By addressing complexities and achieving optimum integration of cities systems can be linked into the value network of digital ecosystems that enables processed data produced from other sources to be seamlessly integrated to provide value added services to citizens (Dapp 2017).…”

“…The on-going transition of economies and societies towards different institutional paradigms deeply managed by digital technologies is at the epic centre of existing debates, involving researchers and ranging from science, technology to humanities (Vobugari, Srinivasan, and Somayajulu 2017). Digital transformation is a means by which enterprise initiates changes in their business models and ecosystem by leveraging digital capabilities and technologies.…”

“…Digital transformation involves applying digital technologies to several areas of an enterprise, which lead to important changes in enterprises' activities and the way values are created for stakeholders. Digital transformation aims to re-align processes, technology, and business models to create value for customers as well as enterprises (Vobugari, Srinivasan, and Somayajulu 2017). Digital transformation can bring about increased productivity and revenue, decreasing costs, improving client service (Aliee, Kashfi, and Farahani 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, the increasing dynamics in both economy and technology imposes serious challenges for cities since there is need to adapt to complex changing conditions while at the same time ensuring system integration (Vobugari, Srinivasan, and Somayajulu 2017;Bosdriesz et al 2018;Gampfer 2018). Although, findings from the literature (Salem 2016;Antonova 2018;Tomičić Pupek, Pihir, and Tomičić Furjan 2019;Hämäläinen 2020) examined digital transformation in smart city domain.…”
