From enterprise architecture to business models and back

Abstract

In this study, we argue that important IT change processes affecting an organization's enterprise architecture are also mirrored by a change in the organization's business model. An analysis of the business model may establish whether the architecture change has value for the business. Therefore, in order to facilitate such analyses, we propose an approach to relate enterprise models specified in ArchiMate to business models, modeled using Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas. Our approach is accompanied by a method that supports business model-driven migration from a baseline architecture to a target architecture and is demonstrated by means of a case study. Keywords Business modeling• Enterprise architecture • Business Model Canvas • ArchiMate • Business Model Ontology • Cost/revenue analysis 1 Introduction Many expensive IT innovation projects suffer from the fact that the technical solutions they propose never materialize.

Enterprise Architecture: Transition From IT-Infrastructure Design to Business Transformatio

“…детально анализируются в [Azevedo et al, 2013] и появляются в языках моделирования АП [Aldea et al, 2015;Iacob et al, 2014]; • проводится спецификация методов и инструментов стратегического менедж-мента [Bock et al, 2016]; • методы моделирования становятся до-ступными не только узким специали-стам [Sandkuhl et al, 2016], развива-ются легковесные подходы к моделиро-ванию [Kudryavtsev, Gavrilova, 2017]; • оптимизируются способы представле-ния информации об устройстве пред-приятия [Kudryavtsev, Menshikova, Gavri lo va, 2016]. Основанные на инженерном подходе методы АП позволяют решать важнейшие для стратегического управления задачи -формирование и воплощение вариантов выбора.…”

Challenges in Governing the Digital Transportation Ecosystem in Jakarta: A Research Direction in Smart City Frameworks

“…To this end, development of architectural perspective of the ecosystem that represents the interaction of the stakeholders within the ecosystem is needed. This architectural perspective is important since it can capture the structural, behavioral, and informational aspect of the ecosystem in an organized manner, so as to facilitate quantitative analysis of the ecosystem [18]. Further, to provide improvement recommendation for the ecosystem, it is important to develop suitable model-based and data-driven analytical tools to continuously monitor and assess the ecosystem, leveraging the architectural perspective of the ecosystem [19,20].…”

“…In this research, the Archimate framework can be used to formally describe the architectural perspective of the ecosystem, since it is considered to be a comprehensive framework that can visually represent the ecosystem in three layers-Business, Application and Technology-and considers the structural, behavioral, and informational aspects within each layer [18,36].…”

“…As shown in Figure 3, to comprehensively capture the interaction between all involved stakeholders in the ecosystem, the Archimate framework represents the ecosystem in three layers; namely, the business layer, the application layer, and the technology layer [18]. Furthermore, the Archimate framework identifies relationship between and within layers by considering the structural, behavioral, and informational aspects of the ecosystem [18].…”
