“…A general view on EA maturity is given in [20] and the link of EABV and EA maturity is described in [21]. Critical problems in EA are described in [3] although the sections about assessments and metrics are very limited. EA measurement drivers and enablers are discussed in [22] without going into detail about challenges and problems.…”

“…Therefore, the motivation for our main research endeavor stems from the fact that the EA function in an organizational context is not entirely understood in terms of performance and business value [3][4][5][6][7]. Notably, we measure performance and communicate business value as proposed in [8].…”

“…Many EA function fall into the category of intangible assets [9] and are therefore difficult to measure. In our research we aim to develop appropriate metrics to measure these intangible assets [3,10]. But not only the design of metrics alone is of our concern, we have to align them with appropriate goals according to the current strategy in organizations [11].…”

Abstract. In our research we aim to assess the value contributions of Enterprise Architecture (EA) to an organization that allows a structured and effective way of strategically aligning business with information technology. We have designed and built an Enterprise Business Value Assessment framework within an organizational context following a Design Science Research (DSR) methodology. Our challenge presented in this paper is to evaluate this approach and show how we can effectively determine the relevant criteria and adapt an appropriate evaluation method. Discussing this challenge we propose an evaluation approach using the Measurement and Analysis Infrastructure Diagnostic (MAID) method.

“…The ability to model and align business operations and processes in ERP architecture is lacking (Kaisler et al, 2005). While there are a number of tools such as Metis, Popkins SA, Troux, Orbus, and Casewise Corporate Modeler that are beginning to address these issues, a well-integrated solution was not available in [2004][2005].…”

Purpose -To provide background for senior and middle management in information technology organizations who may be in the implementation phase of compliance for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). As the information technology (IT) organization looks forward to additional compliance or other IT control frameworks such as COBIT, the paper can help construct a roadmap. Other audiences include senior management, accountants, internal auditors, and academics who may wish to evaluate the impact of SOX on the information technology organization. Design/methodology/approach -SOX is surveyed to understand the four major compliance areas that must be supported in the IT organization. Recently published works are integrated into an evaluation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) research to identity several ongoing themes that point to practical advice for implementing SOX. The private sector of US business is saturated with ERP applications and provides a useful benchmark of what to expect with SOX compliance. The sections of this report include: SOX and IT governance; ERP systems: recurring themes; after the initial implementation of SOX; frameworks to support SOX compliance; IT governance and SOX: where we go from here; to best practice and competitive advantage; and conclusion. Findings -Competencies in several related core disciplines including project management, change management, and software integration should be the top priority for SOX implementation. Enterprise architecting and related areas such as security and outsourcing can be managed more effectively with the appropriate competencies.Research limitations/implications -The authors' observations are based on several research reports but are not exhaustive, and are not specific to a particular industry. Originality/value -The content is a very useful source of information for senior management, IT management, accountants, auditors, and academics to understand the impact of SOX on the IT organization and how to develop a roadmap to respond.
