Abstract
e-novate is an IT consulting company based in Geneva, Switzerland. They recently made a radical change to an IT product they were developing. The change compelled e-novate to define a new business model for the product and to align it with the existing IT architecture. Through e-novate’s episodic relationship with a research team, they learned about the SEAM Enterprise Architecture method. Based on a set of research papers downloaded from the web, e-novate’s models were created as prescribed by SEAM for defining early requirements, they were validated by their stakeholders and the required changes were implemented. In this paper we present the project, the reasons for selecting SEAM, the models that were created, the difficulties in creating and applying them, and the lessons learned for both practice and research.
