Abstract:
To remain competitive in today’s highly competitive global markets, organizations must be able to continually transform themselves, doing so at an ever-increasing pace. To succeed in their digital transformations, more and more organizations are adopting an enterprise architecture practice and related frameworks. Unfortunately, there is a plethora of EA frameworks (EAFs) available to choose from and the limitations of the EAF comparison matrices still make it difficult for organizations to select the right one. As a first step to fill this gap in the literature, this study proposes to review the academic and professional literature on the subject. The results of our scoping literature review show that there are nine criteria commonly used to compare/select EA frameworks (taxonomy, meta-model, accelerators, development process, maintenance and evolution process, principles, governance process, architecture practice and simplicity) and that the operationalization of these criteria remains elementary. We hope that our contribution will help organizations improve the success rate of their information technology-enabled organizational transformation.
