A Method for Integrating EAM and BPM

Business Process Management (BPM) has been a widely accepted management tool for many years. Recently, the steadily growing complexity of IT landscapes, the increasing speed of change of business models, business processes and organisational structures in many business sectors, and the high pressure for cost reductions in the IT area have lead to the deployment of Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) in a growing number of organisations. There is an obvious overlapping between BPM and EAM but there are also some significant differences. This paper presents a method to derive a sensible integration between BPM and EAM considering in particular organisation-specific objectives and conditions.
