Crafting a literature review on enterprise architecture can be a daunting task.

It requires extensive
research, critical analysis, and synthesis of existing literature to provide a comprehensive overview of
the subject. From identifying relevant sources to evaluating their credibility and synthesizing key
findings, every step demands meticulous attention to detail and thorough understanding of the topic.

The process of writing a literature review involves:

1. Identifying Relevant Sources: Searching through numerous academic databases, journals,


books, and other scholarly resources to find literature pertinent to enterprise architecture.
2. Evaluating Credibility: Assessing the credibility and reliability of each source to ensure that
only reputable and authoritative information is included in the review.
3. Synthesizing Information: Analyzing and synthesizing the information gathered from
various sources to identify common themes, trends, and gaps in the existing literature.
4. Providing Critical Analysis: Critically evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the
studies reviewed, including methodologies used, findings, and implications.
5. Structuring the Review: Organizing the literature review in a logical and coherent manner,
following an established structure such as chronological, thematic, or theoretical.
6. Ensuring Clarity and Coherence: Writing clearly and coherently to effectively
communicate the key findings and insights derived from the literature.

Given the complexity and time-consuming nature of writing a literature review, many individuals
may find it challenging to undertake this task independently. In such cases, seeking assistance from

It helps the organization run smoothly and achieve its goals. It provides a standardized notation to
describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships between various architectural domains. Whenever
different the company’s requirements differ from one sector to another the EA group is in a good
position to foresee the prospective system incompatibilities and interdependence. Nevertheless,
uptake of Enterprise Architecture in hospitals has been slow. A large number of companies have
committed an enterprise architecture group that oversees all business processes so that the companies
are able to deliver services and goods in a Enterprise Architecture 3 more efficient way and
effectively. The result is something that cannot interpret End of preview Want to access all the pages.
All of this despite working towards the same goal as everyone else in a company. We complete jobs
in the ways we want—sometimes logically, sometimes irresponsibly—and by using whatever tools
and resources are before us. However, some companies have gone forward to splitting enterprise
activities among small business units. The aim of the case study is to explore EA evaluation from the
practical view of primarily enterprise architects and project managers. This means not knowing the
importance of EA in determining the value of businesses. Results: It was established that there is a
possibility to understand how a sustainable cooperative business model can be designed to create,
deliver, capture, measure, communicate and 'destruct' value in the changing contexts and periodic
phases for self-adapting and self-renewal for sustainability. In short, Dragon1 defines Enterprise
Architecture as a conceptual blueprint for your company. Enterprise architects lose when they forget
that it is all about business value - pretty charts and graphs can keep you busy for years but your
paycheck is for delivering value to shareholders. Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing,
vol 131. New version of Cooperative is called New Generation Cooperative (NGC) that has
characters as: NGC may issue shares, individuals may hold higher levels of equity through purchase
of share, and membership may be limited to shareholders. It is all and only about Enterprise
Performance Management (EPM). However, not all companies conquer on what effective
governance of EA constitutes. A mission organization can be associated with multiple functions and
a function can be associated with multiple mission organizations. Analyzed database domains lead to
the identification of Database Object Classes, enterprise data elements, and property classes. The
Department of the Treasury is comprised of a number of offices that function as individual
enterprises. Without that clarity, ongoing confusion and issues with collaboration and alignment will
likely be created. It provides a holistic view of the organization, enabling effective decision-making,
optimization of resources, and adaptation to changes in the business environment. The architectural
segments are developed individually, within structured guidelines, with each segment considered to
be its own enterprise within the Federal Enterprise. In this paper, we propose the Enterprise
Architecture Realization Scorecard (EARS) and an accompanying method to discover the strengths
and weaknesses in the realization process of an EA management function. EA is in a domain where

ArchiMate 1.0 specification. The Open Group, Reading. The problem faced by cooperatives today is
that cooperatives are less able to become business institutions that provide good services to all
members and society in general. Living in the world inundated with information systems, designing
services based on information technology entails a suitable architecture framework.
EA delivers value by presenting business and ICT leaders with recommendations for adjusting
policies and projects to achieve business goals. The strategy must always be used by architects as the
most important set of requirements. In: Proper HA, Harmsen AF, Dietz JLG (eds) Advances in

the impact of change and implementation costs. Held at CAiSE 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands,
June 2009. This could involve conducting a comprehensive IT audit to evaluate the organization’s
hardware, software, networks, and security. Hoogervorst JAP (2009) Enterprise governance and
enterprise engineering. Conclusion: The result of this study stimulates structured strategic thinking,
managerial practices, and the setting up of value propositions for the sustainable cooperative business
models in the changing environment. The dividing of the practice into a number of domains allows
enterprise architects to describe an enterprise from a number of important perspectives, dividing the
descriptive task between many participants and allowing the practice as a whole to make good use
of individual domain-specific expertise and knowledge. To browse Academia.edu and the wider

these criteria, five frameworks which had the highest rank were chosen. If a resource is missing then
the enterprise is incomplete. The purpose of the research is to design the Enterprise Architecture for
NGC. In: 20th enterprise architecture practitioners conference. We applied the EA elements on a
running case at a large multinational firm, which is currently migrating towards an e-business
platform. The Open Business approach places value on transparency, stakeholder inclusion, and
accountability. Shaw M, Garlan D (1996) Software architecture: perspectives on an emerging
discipline. Included for example are facilities, assets, staff, money, and even abstract concepts like
reputation. EA was not useable for prescriptive purposes such as the design or redesign of
information systems in relation to changing business processes. It starts with an exploration of the
concept of enterprise transformation, including the enterprise engineering perspective. Current
enterprise architecture approaches have limited ability to model and reason about the adaptiveness
that is available or desirable in various parts of an enterprise. TOGAF explains rules for developing
good principles, rather than providing a set of architectural principles. The low number of active
cooperatives and those who apply ICT because of the constraints and limitations of them; weak
entrepreneurial board, capital, quality of human resources who have accounting knowledge and
active participation of members. Too often an EA attempts to take ownership of a business process
and ends up getting blamed. Enterprise Architecture methodologies, frameworks, and strategic
planning are the keys to planning, coordinating, and implementing an organization’s business
objectives. The arrival of distributed computing in the 1980s resulted in increased EIT complexity
due to additional scale, diversity, and connectivity in the computing environment. Most of the time
the enterprise architecture governance is not always spotted as a weakness thus companies
stakeholders go on criticizing the architect department. In other words, Governance and Compliance
inward are extremely important. ISSN: 09243275. Department of Information and Computing

visualize the current state, future state, and what needs to happen to migrate, determine where there
are gaps between the current state and future requirements, understand how different processes
overlap with each other, create a business continuity plan so that people can continue to work in the
event of a disaster, and, finally creating an IT architecture that is scalable. EA delivers value by
presenting business and IT leaders with signature-ready recommendations for adjusting policies and
projects to achieve targeted business outcomes that capitalize on relevant business disruptions.”. Van
Haren, Zaltbommel. In Dutch. ISBN-13: 9789087534066. Enterprise architecture needs continuous
refinement because no business operates in a stationary environment. The main cause of this is the
lack of comprehensive tooling support, something that will hamper using EA for developing and
deploying e-business solutions in the future. This makes the enterprise less productive and seems to
be useless. Tribolet J, Winter R, Caetano A (2008) Special track on organizational engineering:
editorial message. The informant is a cooperative for savings and loan managers who are willing to
be interview. During an assessment, representative EA goals are selected, and for each goal, the
results, delivered during the different stages of the realization process, are analyzed, discussed and
valued. After creating the EA (or other architectures) they are tasked with creating communicative
and visual products that help tell the story and ensure that the enterprise architecture is used in
digital transformation programs to manage risk, projects, strategy, data, and change for decision-
making. The three levels of principles support decision-making across the entire enterprise; provide
guidance on IT resources; and support architecture principles for development and implementation.
IT Governance directs Enterprise Architecture Planning. They are in charge of analyzing current
trends in technology architecture and educating technology departments about new frameworks and
best practices. Property classes, in turn, often become tables in databases. The framework does not
provide guidance on sequence, process, or implementation, but rather focuses on ensuring that all
views are well established, ensuring a complete system regardless of the order in which they were
established. One can also, like below, show in a layered blueprint all the elements of all concepts
together. That's why EA best practices can help you tackle complex challenges in a tried and
controlled manner from the ground up. This framework should provide a comprehensive view of the
organization, including its IT assets and business processes. This study purpose on developing a
cooperative economic development through a strategic partnership approach between cooperatives
and other financial institutions so that cooperatives can grow, develop, and be sustainable. NGC
Enterprise Architecture shall purpose the Technology part of Strategic Management, which can relate
New Generation Cooperative, Enterprise Architecture, and Open Business Model. Specifically, the
study was to (1) explain the key elements of the CME business model from the epistemological,
axiological, and taxonomical viewpoint, and (2) demonstrate how the cooperative business model
canvas (of attributes component and building blocks) can be integrated from a conceptual
perspective, (3) illustrate how the cooperative business model might be reconfigured to ensure
cooperative sustainability. This is particularly when there is a need for system replacements and IT
infrastructure updates are required in multi-millions. Here you see entity classes that together make
up a major part of your strategy. It shows how all the different parts fit together, like people, tasks,
tools, and information. The future state architecture should align with the business goals and
objectives and be designed to address any weaknesses identified in the current state assessment.
