About this book
This textbook provides a comprehensive, holistic, scientifically precise, and practically relevant description of Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM). Based on state-of-the-art concepts, it also addresses current trends like disruptive digitization or agile methods.
The book is structured in five chapters. The first chapter offers a comprehensive overview of EAM. It addresses questions like: what does EAM mean, what is the history of EAM, why do enterprises need EAM, what are its goals, and how is it related to digitalization? It also includes a short overview of essential EAM standards and literature. The second chapter provides an overview of Enterprise Architecture (EA). It starts with clarifying basic terminology and the difference between EA and EAM. It also gives a short summary of existing EA frameworks and methods for structuring the digital ecosystem into layers and views. The third chapter addresses the strategic and tactical context of the EAM capabilityin an enterprise. It defines essential terms and parameters in the context of enterprise strategy and tactics as well as the operative, organizational context of EAM. The fourth chapter specifies the detailed goals, processes, functions, artifacts, roles and tools of EAM, building the basis for an EAM process framework that provides a comprehensive overview of EAM processes and functions. Closing the circle, the last chapter describes how to evaluate EAM in an enterprise. It starts by laying out core terminology, like “metric” and “strategic performance measurement system” and ends with a framework that integrates the various measuring areas in the context of EA and EAM.
This textbook focuses on two groups: First, EAM scholars, ie bachelor or master students of Business Information Systems, Business Administration or Computer Science. And second, EAM practitioners working in the field of IT strategy or EA who need a reliable, scientifically solid, and practically proven state-of-the-art description of essential EAM methods.
Reviews
“A truly fundamental textbook for students of computer science, business informatics and business administration. It is equally useful for practitioners who need a concise state-of-the art overview of Enterprise Architecture Management.” (Jan Mendling, Einstein-Professor of Process Science, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany)
“An extremely well rounded and comprehensive display of the current state of Enterprise Architecture Management. A definitive must-read for anybody studying or working in this area.” (André Christ, CEO and Co-Founder at LeanIX)
“This book provides you with introductions, formal definitions, process descriptions, strategic EAM parameters, goals, and a framework for measuring EAM's success.” (from the Foreword by Thomas Rückert, CIO Lufthansa Group)
"Finally a compact book that presents EAM consistently from a management perspective, incorporates current discourses such a agile and business ecosystems, focuses on the enterprise-level (and complex organizations) and even includes the often overlooked aspect of EAM performance measurement and improvement." (Robert Winter, Director of the Institute of Information Management, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland)
