Abstract

Several scholars have argued for the need to integrate both the IT perspective and the business perspective during development of enterprises and IS/IT architectures. In this process, it is necessary to be able to deal with a number of sub-areas to succeed with the transformation. One challenge is the need to move beyond a narrow focus on one tradition or technology, as well as to use and integrate different concepts within an enterprise. This integrated view also includes the use and development of guidelines (methods, tools, etc.), in addition to research methodologies and human aspects. Therefore, enterprise modeling and enterprise architecture must treat all slices in a comprehensive alignment context. In this paper, the author presents a conceptualization of the research area Enterprise Modeling and Enterprise Architecture with a focus on transformation and alignment of business and IT.
