Business-IT Misalignment Symptom Detection based on Enterprise Architecture Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
While organisations address business-IT alignment achievement, they are continually suffering from misalignments. The paper deals with the concept of misalignment, with special attention to enterprise architecture (EA)based analytical potential. In this study an analytical solution is built to approach the topic of strategic alignment from an EA-based perspective. The study aims to accomplish an EA-based, systematic analysis of mismatches between business and information systems. The operation, the correctness as well as the relevance of the framework is validated via a case study. The contribution of the proposed study lies in connecting typical misalignment symptoms to relevant EA analysis types along traditional alignment perspectives. The proposed framework has the potential to extend our understanding on assessing the state of misalignment in a complex EA model

متن کاملMisalignment Symptom Analysis Based on Enterprise Architecture Model Assessment
Business–IT alignment and misalignment are duality-like concepts referring to the harmony or disharmony between business and IT. The state between these two areas can be viewed either through its presence (a.k.a. alignment) or through its absence or difficulties (a.k.a. misalignment). Most of alignment studies deal with alignment achievement, while misalignment issues (detecting, analysing and ...
متن کاملTowards Detecting Misalignment Symptoms: An Alignment Perspective-Driven Architecture-Matching Framework (Extended Abstract)
When assessing the harmony between business and information systems, most of traditional studies deal with the presence and the achievement of strategic alignment. On the contrary, exiguous attention is paid to the phenomenon of strategic misalignment, which means the absence or difficulties of business-IT alignment. This paper deals with strategic misalignment between business and information ...
متن کاملBusiness and Information Systems MisAlignment Model (BISMAM): an Holistic Model Leveraged on Misalignment and Medical Sciences Approaches
Organizations aim to achieve business and information systems alignment, but actually “feel” and “suffer”, on a daily basis, the difficulties that inhibits the alignment achievement, in other words, the misalignments. This paper proposes a model, the Business and Information Systems MisAlignment Model (BISMAM), to understand, to classify and to manage misalignments. This proposal addresses the ...
متن کاملUsing a Medical Sciences Perspective to Harness Business and Information Systems Misalignment
Aligning business and information systems has been in the scope of research initiatives from decades. Recently, some efforts emerged with a complementary approach focused on the misalignments study. This paper proposes a misalignment approach based on the medical science perspective for nomenclature, classification and detection of misalignments. We show that a metaphor between disease and misa...
