The main intention of the Architecture-Governance-Growth (AGG) model introduced by this book is to be a representation of the evolving steps of the modern digital (or digitalized) enterprise. In this section of the book, the first dimension of the AGG model (the architecture realm), how it has emerged as an entrepreneurial concept (embedded in the concept of enterprise architecture), why it is an important and indispensable concept to describe the main components of the digital (or digitalized) enterprise, and how they interact and function are presented. In this chapter, it is argued that the most valuable tool to perform this task is the concept of enterprise architecture, a concept derived from the field of architecture or from the building sector of the economy. The chapter examines how this concept evolved from the concept of information systems and how it is important to the understanding of the concept of market architecture.

Concept Of Information

The creation of information models requires the use of known methods and the development of new methods of formalizing the pre-design research process. The modeling process consists of four stages: data collection on the object of management - pre-project research; creation of a graphical model of business processes taking place in the enterprise; development of a formal model of business processes; business research by optimizing the formal model. To support the creation of workflow management services and systems, the complex offers methodologies, standards and specialized software that make up the developer's tools. This can be ensured only by modern automated methods based on information systems. It is important that the information collected is structured to meet the needs of potential users and stored in a form that allows the use of modern access technologies. Before discussing the effectiveness of FIM, it should be noted that the basic concept of information itself is still not the same. In a pragmatic way, it is a set of messages in the form of an important document for the system. Information can be evaluated not only by volume, but also by various parameters, the most important of which are: timeliness, relevance, value, aging, accuracy, etc. in addition, the information may be clear, probable and accurate. The methods of its reception and processing are different in each case.

The Relationship

This study proposes a management model by business processes for science parks based on the premises and concept of enterprise architecture (EA). The model offers integrating business processes with activities and information that can be generated by adopting customized information systems to meet the science parks’ needs. The proposed model’s main contributions included EA as a means for shaping and enabling reconfiguration through descriptions of the structures of business processes and information systems that connect these structures, forming business and information architecture frameworks. In association with these frameworks, the managers need to define a coherent set of patterns, policies, procedures, and principles that sustain the business processes integrated with the information systems. As a result of the study, this model can help management execute and control activities related to business processes in the parks through interaction and alignment with the information system intended to facilitate the execution. The model will also lead to greater agility and efficiency in these business processes, considering their specific nature and the relationship with the parks’ actors. As a practical contribution, knowledge of these processes aids the management of the parks in their drive for a competitive advantage by maintaining and developing their management models.

Construction and development of enterprise architecture and information systems are appropriately planned and well designed and suit to the needs and the abilities of the organization. Good planning will provide great benefits for construction and development of enterprise architecture, both in terms of human resources, budget and organization's readiness to implement the plan. In this study did not use all the phases of TOGAF ADM, this study only uses seven from nine phases TOGAF ADM namely the preliminary phase, architecture vision phase, business architecture phase, architecture of information systems phase, technology architecture phase, opportunity and solution phase and migration planning phase. The first phase of the enterprise architecture development is the prelimary phase, output from the preliminary phase becomes input to the early phases of the TOGAF ADM phases, which is named architecture vision phase and from that input device produced the new organizational structure that will be proposed. In the next phase of business phase was also analyzed using Value Chain analysis.

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.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the enterprise architecture process from the perspective of information systems controls, which refer to attempts to influence the behavior of employees in order to achieve organizational goals. Although controls have been extensively studied in processes such as systems development, there is little research examining control within the enterprise architecture process, despite its rising importance in today's organizations. This paper examines how enterprise architecture controls are employed in practice and considers the challenges faced in their design and operation. Drawing on empirical data from two in-depth case studies, enterprise architecture controls are classified and analyzed using COBIT 5. Our findings identify a series of specific challenges with enterprise architecture controls. Based on these challenges, we outline recommendations to practitioners in overseeing the enterprise architecture process and develop propositions to help guide future research initiatives to enhance enterprise architecture performance.

This article outlines a business and application architecture for policy-making organisations of public administrations. The focus was placed on the derivation of processes and their IT support on the basis of the policy-cycle concept. The derivation of various (modular) process areas allows for the discussion of generic application support in order to achieve the modular structure of e-government architectures for policy-making organisations of public administrations, as opposed to architectures for operational administration processes by administrations. In addition, further issues and spheres of interest to be addressed in the field of architecture management for policy-making organisations of public administrations will be specified. Different architecture variants are evaluated in the context of a potential application of the architecture design for policy-making organisations of public administrations. This raises questions such as how the issue of interoperability between information systems of independent national, state, and municipal administrations is to be tackled. Further research is needed to establish, for example, the level of enterprise architecture and the depth to which integration in this area must or may extend.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is employed primarily to resolve and address factors and challenges, such as complexities, inconsistencies and disparities in information systems (IS) and technologies. This includes collaborations, implementations and integrations of systems and technologies, and the all overall governance of the computing environment of an organisation including governments' administrations. However, the challenges persist even with the emergence and deployment of EA in organisations. Some of the challenges have cost and affected many organisations in their zeal and goal to compete, realise their investment and efforts to bridge the gap between the IT and Business units. Thus, the deployment of EA to addressing the challenges as stated above needs to be strategically relooked or reengineered. We therefore employ the activity theory (AT) as a lens to assess the deployment of EA in an organisation. Based on the analysis and assessment, a model which identities the key influencing factors in the deployment of EA was developed.
