Abstract
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) includes the planning, management, control and improvement of enterprise architecture. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is the best known and most trusted enterprise architecture standard used to improve the operational efficiency. It brings many benefits, but is also associated with costs. While the applicability to large enterprises is beyond question, the application in small and medium enterprises (SME) in consideration of costs and benefits is controversial. Scientific literature gives no satisfactory recommendation to SME. A survey with TOGAF experienced users was performed to get a better understanding of the most important parts of the framework and the possibility of adapting TOGAF to the requirements of SME.
