Abstract

Organisations in the digital era face a changing role of digitality in several areas, e.g. in their business models, organisational design, compliance, regulation and economic environment. In this transformation, the role of IT is changing as well. As it is becoming more and more difficult to disunite digital products and services from their underlying IT infrastructures, corporate IT plays an important role in digital transformation. Moreover, IT-enabled processes increase the complexity of digital product and service architecture. These aspects point out the need for revisiting the present enterprise architectures and IT governance practices to successfully manage digital transformation. This paper discusses IT-based opportunities for digital transformation initiatives based on an Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM)-related method for assessing strategic alignment problems. The paper presents an analysis using the proposed framework to indicate areas for digital transformation initiatives, to facilitate the harmonisation of business and IT as well as to promote digital transformation implementation and post-implementation.
