Integrating Innovation into Enterprise Architecture Management

ability of organizations to innovate is acknowledged as an essential capability to compete in a competitive market. This paper proposes to use enterprise architecture management as a systematic approach to innovate the enterprise. The enterprise architecture approach is based on a comprehensive architecture framework which aligns the domains of business -, application - and infrastructure architecture. The framework addresses all dimensions relevant for enterprise innovation like business mod- el, organization, processes, and technology and provides appro- priate design techniques. A comprehensive architecture development process is introduced which integrates innovation as a central element for the enter- prise architecture design. The process encompasses all activities from business vision & strategy, architecture design to imple- mentation. In addition, the organization of architecture manage- ment and the main stakeholders from the business as well as IT side and their respective role are explained.
