Abstract

A methodology is presented for eliciting enterprise information requirements and developing a long-range information architecture. The methodology is based on a combination of business system planning, critical success factors, and ends/means analysis. The methodology is independent of organizational structure, personnel, and hardware and software; and it has been successfully implemented in a variety of organizational settings.
