“…There are other views on EA's usefulness and reach, which stem from its various definitions (Saint-Louis, Morency & Lapalme, 2019). Nandico (2016) and Goerzig & Bauernhansl (2018) confirm Valenduc & Vendramin's (2016) observations, as they also show that it can contribute to creating sustainable competitive advantage, when used in the process of organizational modeling, by determining the logical components to use in applications, with their respective services, according to the established scope.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the association between the capacity to use enterprise architecture tools and the effectiveness of business model digitalization in companies.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used two research strategies – survey and focus group – to analyze the relationship between maturity in using enterprise architecture (EA) and digital maturity, under the perspective of sociomateriality.FindingsThe use of EA is not a strategic competence that contributes to building sustainable competitive advantage, in the process of business model digitalization. On the other hand, top management’s determination and clarity, expressed by its sponsorship to communicating the strategy, contribute to the integration, engagement and adaptability of those involved and are responsible for higher maturity in the digitalization of business models.Research limitations/implicationsThe statistical treatment used does not allow understanding the causality between the variables.Practical implicationsIt provides executives with important elements for clarifying and operationalizing digital business models.Originality/valueThe study operationalizes a theoretical and measurement model, through a strategy that used simultaneously a survey and a focus group, which allowed to know associations between technological capacities and maturity in digital business models.

“…Researchers such as Saint-Louis et al ( 2019); Dang and Pekkola (2017); Foorthuis et al (2020); Banaeianjahromi and Smolander (2019); and Szabó and Öri (2017) led studies whose findings showed the importance of EA in supporting organizations in addressing complexity if EA is involved in the process of managing organization. These scholars established that organizations must develop models of EA frameworks in line with their business context to gain the maximum benefit of EA as a tool for addressing complexity.…”

The paper focuses on exploring the perceptions of stakeholders (medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, IT staff and other employees) in healthcare organizations in Canada on how they developed Enterprise Architecture (EA) to improve managerial decision making and align business activities and Information Technology (IT). Both quantitative and qualitative methods were adopted for this research. A total of 120 questionnaires were sent out but only 72 responses were received. Participants included industry professionals involved in implementing information systems (IS) within healthcare organizations. Data was collected physically and through emails. Also 3 subject matter experts (experts) were interviewed for the study. These experts each have over ten years’ experience in EA practice and are doctorate degree holders (PhDs). The results of the study showed that stakeholders see the potential for EA to be a tool for planning IT/IS projects, breaking down organizational silos, creating digital transformation, and proactively responding to disruptive forces. They do not see EA as the necessary tool for integrating IT solutions.

“…For example in smart cities context, the need to develop complex information systems has been amplified. Therefore, EA helps to address the problems of complexity of information systems deployed in cities [16]. Authors in [17] stated that the growing complexity and lack of integration across systems results in organizational barriers to stakeholder collaboration in smart cities.…”

Most of today's software development projects depend on the usage of existing solutions to save time and development cost. We target in this research work the design of a software capability profile that provides a broader view of an organization's internal and external software, along with an exploitation model in line with requirements engineering and enterprise architecture to fill the gap between the goals of the stakeholders and what can be delivered as a practical solution. For this purpose, we define a Framework that offers a qualification that helps to gather the initial requirements that guided the development of existing software. This qualification is based on a proposed Enterprise Architecture Capability Profile and its associated ontology covering business, operational and technical aspects for serviceoriented software. Furthermore, an exploitation methodology is proposed and based on the alignment of requirements engineering with software architecting actions that evolve together, to investigate the highest compatibility of the desired functionalities. Our contribution aims to improve the reuse of existing services, by upgrading these technical components to the level of end-user's requirements for accelerating future business application development. An implementation and a case study are proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
