Abstract

Enterprise transformations (ET) fail in many cases or do not accomplish the expected goals. Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is often considered to be an appropriate means to tackle this problem by providing information that is relevant to ET managers. Therefore, we analyze, which types of information provided during an ET contributes to its success. In addition we discuss if EAM can appropriately support ETs by providing relevant information. The results show that value can be provided to ET management when business-related information on a detailed level is offered. Examples are business requirements, business functions, or qualitative measures. We find information that can be provided by EAM to be an important success factor for ETs.
