Abstract:
The small and medium enterprises (SME’s) have a low level of survival and are facing serious problems like access to financing, weak management capacity, poor information about market opportunities, limited information about access to innovation and research funds, new technologies and methods of work organization, the integration of its key processes into information and communication technologies (ICT’s). The methodology of Enterprise Architecture (EA) can provide a model of integration supported with strategic planning, integrated by partial architectures like business, data, applications and technology. In this study case, we are providing information that was collected from different sources of a medium manufacturing firm to design and implement an EA. As a result we get to the identification of strategic changes supported by the methodology, the assessment of option for change, and a change plan for the adoption of the methodology in their processes; those processes must improve their competitiveness and productivity.
