Enterprise Architecture Benefits: Perceptions from Literature and Practice

2008

First published in the Proceedings of the 7th IBIMA Conference Internet & Information Systems in the Digital Age, 14-16 December, 2006, Brescia, Italy Enterprise Architecture (EA) is considered a means for acquiring a multitude of benefits in organizations by most academic literature and practitioners alike. However, academic research has almost omitted the domain of EA benefits and value realization, and thus more research on the subject is needed. This paper describes a study which aims to chart the benefits of EA by a comprehensive literature review and a focus group interview of practitioners. As a result, a categorization of the EA benefits is composed and analyzed.
