“…Thus [20] asserts that EA is an agent of change, in the quest for competitiveness. It formalizes the organisation and its information systems to manage the risks that are related to changes [25]. To keep up with the accelerating pace of technology, enterprises should employ the EA [9].…”

Key Competencies in ICT and Informatics. Implications and Issues for Educational Professionals and Management

Through different approaches, organisations strive to evolve their competitiveness, as well as their addressing their operational and strategic needs. Some organisations employ Enterprise Architecture (EA), to bridge the gap between the business and IT, and to providing strategic goals. However, there exists scarcity of EA Skills in many developing countries. This could be attributed to the uniqueness of the discipline. The skills are instrumental in the development and implementation of the EA. What is even more challenging is that EA skills cannot be developed from any training facility, due to its nature of specialisation and seniority of the specialists. The limited training facilities contribute to the scarcity of EA skills in many developing countries, which have impact skill and transfer, and other resource developmental factors. This study therefore explored how and where EA skills can be developed, and what constitute the competency. The study was carried out in Namibia, using the survey technique, in the data collection. Some of the findings include education and training, leadership, and political implications on EA skill development.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) has evolved based on the practice of information systems architecture design and implementation. EA is a rigorous description of a structure, and the objectives of EA modeling not only include clarifying corporate strategies, visualizing business processes, and modeling information systems to manage resources but also include improving organizational structures, adjusting information strategies, and creating new business value. Therefore, EA models cover a wide scope that includes both IT and business architectures. Typically, EA modeling is the initial and most important analysis step for researchers, architects, and developers. ArchiMate is the dominant modeling language for EA and it has been shown to improve visualization of EA models. However, few studies have systematically introduced general modeling methods using ArchiMate to meet a broad range of needs and few studies have empirically evaluated the modeling method using ArchiMate. This paper introduces an EA visualization approach to fill that gap and conducts a case study on a wilderness weather station system. Strict controlled experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of this modeling method, and the experimental results show that this modeling procedure is not only feasible, but also can effectively transform the system metamodel and restore the EA scene.

A Systematic Literature Review on Enterprise Architecture Visualization Methodologies

et al. 2020

EA (Enterprise Architecture) visualization methodologies have been explored by researchers and engineers to conduct EA modeling. The objectives of EA modeling are to clarify enterprise strategies, visualize business processes, and model information systems to manage resources, improve organization structure, adjust information strategy, and create new business value. Therefore, EA models can be broadly applied in various fields. For example, the applications include business modeling, information system architecture design, technology infrastructure configuration, software maintenance, and system security analysis. As the primary source of information, EA models are of paramount importance to researchers, architects, and developers. However, up to now, the purpose and means of these EA visualization methods have never been systematically analyzed and discussed, and a generalized EA visualization methodology with the ability to meet different demands is needed. The paper narrows this gap by conducting a systematic literature review on enterprise architecture visualization methodologies. In this study, 112 papers are retrieved by a manual search in 5 academic databases, a systematic literature review on EA visualization is explained to show a systematized category of visualization approaches, and then a general visualization approach is proposed by systematically reviewing the papers. Finally, the paper is concluded by discussing the contributions and limitations of the study.
