Enterprise Architecture Management

Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is an established discipline in the information science field. With the digitalization, established enterprises are challenged to face fierce competition, especially from new competitors joining the market in vast amounts of time. These challenges can only be addressed by establishing flexible enterprise architectures that also support efficient management of an enterprise. Albeit the wide adoption of the de-facto industry standard of ArchiMate, only very limited literature focusses on using ArchiMate models as a formalized knowledge base that serves quantitative and qualitative evaluation means.

Multiple topics in the field of Enterprise Architecture Management can be offered:

  • Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Enterprise Architectures
  • Advanced Visualization and Visual Analysis of Enterprise Architecture Models (e.g., using AR/VR)
