In this practice paper, we report the outcomes of a case study in a new Dutch hospital, where enterprise architects are working toward a 'lean' and 'simplified' EA model to align existing IT systems to new requirements. The objective of the case study was to examine if the developed EA model could support architects in selecting components of an existing IT infrastructure for re-use, with regard to radically new requirements. We have developed an EA model in close collaboration with enterprise architects. This study reflects on the use of this model in the hospital. The approach combines analysis of the content in the model, a study of documents in the organization, and communication with the architects. We signal that the existence of an integrated suite for an Electronic Health Record system largely determined how the model was used. Reflection disclosed that a lack of information on requirements and applications, as well as low adaptability of existing systems, negatively affected the flexibility of IT in the organization.

“…Our study does confirm the findings in the study (Labusch, Koebele, Aier, & Winter, 2013), that a radical renovation of existing EA has to overcome the traditional structure of working and supporting IT. Our study adds new information by showing in some detail how the current IT architecture made up of integrated applications has obstructed innovation.…”

This work could not have been realized without extensive support and effort of professionals and friends that believed in the project during the many years since 2012.My plan to study the IT systems in organizations in healthcare has been made possible by IT architects that opened doors for me to the Princess Máxima Center, Ziekenhuis Rivierenland, the Carintreggeland organization and GGZ Nederland. I am grateful to Ronald de Vries, René Verschoor, Jos Geesken, Richard Derks, Cees van der Zwaag and Martin van der Meer of Code24, not only for their inspiring words, but also for their support in organizing meetings with IT experts.During the project I have been lucky to meet with many researchers at the Landelijk architectuur congres (LAC) and the openGroup conferences for sharing their thoughts and doubts with me. Many conversations have not been included in the research, e.g. the contacts with Midwifery Netherlands (KNOV) and Angela Verbeeten.Theoretical insights were formed in discussions with Simon McGinnes in Exeter about conceptual independence and in meetings with Nam Suh and scientists at the conferences of axiomatic design.I thank friends, colleagues and students that have contributed, Christian Köppe, for introducing me to Viking PLOP and Willy Koning, Emiliano Heyns, Laura Kaiser, Albert Geurtsen and Ria van Kessel for helping out with chapter 7. They have read and evaluated lists of terms that pop up in open source software to determine whether they were healthcare-related or not. Students of the Bachelor of ICT study developed prototypes and tools for application in the research. I would also like to thank Ulrike Goossen for accompanying me to European conferences and being a good friend.Then, in the last stage of the project, many professionals in IT in mental healthcare (GGZ) gave their time and informed me about their work. The interviews with these IT professionals provided essential information for the study.I really appreciate the time and support of Hans Davids, who designed the book cover and set the text in the new lay-out, and the advice of my two aces in English language, Lidy and Niko Berndsen, who helped to improve the text of the publication.From the start and during the course of the project informal discussions with Cor Baars were very valuable for me. And last but not least, I am grateful to the supervisors that have guided me into the scientific community, René Bakker, Rogier van de Wetering, Sjaak Brinkkemper, Stef Joosten and Stijn Hoppenbrouwers. These supervisors were tireless in reading my papers in different versions and providing helpful feedback.Thank you all.

Therefore, the resources in the system transformation of the research of enterprise is mainly analyzes the effect of resource on the enterprise competitive advantage, that is to study the influence on the transformation of the enterprise's competitive advantage and core competence from the human resources, technical resources, economy and environmental resources and goodwill resources in four aspects.…”

Abstract:The purpose of enterprise transformation is to obtain the sustainable competitive advantage, and the strong reflection of sustainable competitive advantage is the effective transformation and matching of resources and capabilities. In this paper, the matching relationship between resources and capabilities of enterprise transformation system is analyzed, and the evaluating index system for the resources and capabilities of enterprise transformation system are developed. Using the concept of 4 dimensional space distances between 2 points, the model for computing the matching degree between the resources and capabilities of enterprise transformation system is constructed. Finally, through case analysis to the transformation of K enterprise concluded the influence degree of the matching degree of resources and capabilities of enterprise transformation system to enterprise transformation.
