Abstract :
Due to the fact that the corporate IT function is tightly coupled to enterprise processes and organization, today´s IT is driven by the same dynamics as the enterprise itself. Based on this observation a four-layer process-driven architecture (PDA) model is derived which explicitly addresses current business and IT issues alike. The applicability of the model is demonstrated on both the descriptive and the prescriptive level of a theory
