“…One of the key initiatives to support the successful digitalization of cities is the adoption of Enterprise Architecture (EA) (Anthony Jnr, 2021a). EA aims to guide the development of an organization's operation of ICT systems, i.e., the digitized enterprise processes and IT systems that digitalized the organization's main capabilities (Al-Kharusi et al, 2021). This facilitating role is geared to provide a sustainable institutional-wide vision of IT systems and enterprise processes (Tamm et al, 2011).…”

PurposeEnterprise architecture (EA) is usually adopted as an approach for managing enterprise complexities and aligning business and information technology (IT) capabilities. Although IT practitioners and researchers agree about the potential applicability and benefits of EA in smart cities, little is known about the factors that influence the acceptance and usefulness of EA in smart cities. Thus, EA acceptance and usage remains a central concern of urban research and practice. Similarly, there are fewer studies that explored EA adoption from the context of enterprises that provide digital services in cities grounded on empirical evidence. Therefore, this study assesses the acceptance and usefulness of EA in smart cities context by developing an EA adoption model drawing on the DeLone and McLean Information System (IS) success model.Design/methodology/approachBased on the identified factors survey questionnaire was designed and sent out to participants which includes IT professionals, senior managers and consultants from 18 organizations in Norway and Ireland involved in a smart city project (+CityxChange) (https://cityxchange.eu/). Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and structural equation modelling using partial least square was applied for data analysis.FindingsThe results suggest that service quality and system quality positively impact user satisfaction of EA and user's intention to use EA. More importantly, information quality does not influence user satisfaction of EA, and the user satisfaction of EA and user's intention to use EA significantly influences the net benefit of EA.Originality/valueThis study provides a complete understanding for academicians and IT practitioners regarding the factors and impacts on EA acceptance and use in smart cities. Finally, this study discusses the implications of this research and provides recommendations for future research.

“…Consultancy reports have indicated that two-third of EA initiatives failed in the past (Roeleven, 2010), and about 40% of EA programs were shut down within three years (Sessions, 2009). EA scholars also indicate that many organizations are either unable to implement their EA plans or only able to implement a part of their plans (e.g., Al-Kharusi et al, 2021;Hope et al, 2017). In some circles, EA is blamed for being over-budget, over-time and costly without the expected return on investment (Gerber et al, 2020).…”

Enterprise architecture (EA) initiatives consist of functions, processes, tools, instruments, and principles to guide the design of IT and its alignment with business. EA is often presented as a silver bullet to ensure that IT contributes to business. Yet, many EA initiatives do not work out or even fail, but in the literature this area is undertheorized. This study aims to understand the factors influencing the failure of EA initiatives. We identified 15 factors and invited 8 EA experts to evaluate the factors and their influence based on an approach combining grey systems theory, Decision-Making and Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM). The findings indicate that the factors are correlated and interwoven in complex causal chains. This study reveals the root factor and suggests enhancing high-level managers' EA knowledge and ensuring communication and leadership skills of enterprise architects as the starting point to avoid EA failure. Only later, organizing the EA function becomes important.

“…The future architecture model needed to be modified Business Architecture (BA) components that emphasize on existing execution hole or backing another vital activity, operational necessity, and innovation arrangement. The future architecture is driven at both the key and strategic levels in three perspectives as (1) new direction and objectives, (2) changing business needs, and (3) rising advancements. The future architecture should emphasis on systems approached to rehearse.…”

“…The future architecture should cover arranged changes to BA segments in the close to term, just as changes to vital, IS parts that are resulted in the usage of long-haul working situations. BA facilitates gap analysis to understand why certain plans operate more efficiently than others [2]. Measuring the industry impact of BA can be difficult as performance improvements are attributable to factors beyond BA.…”

“…Early recognizable proof and advancement of BA is the way to limiting its negative impacts and to getting the RSC destined for success [6]. Besides, the early improvement of BA in RSC is a significant key to decreasing complex working models later on [2], [7]. The RSC indicators are an important element to encourage BA adoption and further contributed to usage.…”
