Although enterprise architecture is evolving into a multiple billion-dollar business, it has received limited attention in the accounting information systems literatureRecently, The Hartford implemented a unique and robust approach that used Kaplan and Norton’s well known “strategy maps” as part of the enterprise architecture process to transform the finance department and embed strategy into accounting and finance. The Hartford developed a strategy map and used that map as the basis of enterprise architecture integration. The process generated a creative future state that included a linear flow of information that mirrored the information life cycle, while providing a “single source of truth” archive for financial information in order to redesign the finance function to attain “high performance finance.” In so doing, the paper investigates a unique approach, an “innovative practice,” that allows grounding accounting and financial information systems in an organization’s strategy formulation process.
