The Importance of Enterprise Architecture for Effective Corporate Governance
Keywords:
enterprise architecture, enterprise architecture framework, corporate governance, IT governanceAbstract
The establishment and management of an enterprise architecture (hereinafter referred as EA), which also includes the management of business processes, proved to be a successful tool for corporate governance in companies and public administration. The use and management of EA allows more efficient realisation of the enterprise mission and goals, their integration with business processes and further integrated management of the information system. Better business-IT alignment, strategic and operational level integration, as well as a comprehensive measurement and improvement of EA components, are very important for the successful corporate and IT governance. In this paper, we present the state of the latest EA approaches and benefits achieved by different enterprises when implementing EA. We describe the maturity of EA practices in Slovene business systems, as we have learned through many projects and through the research on IT management practices, which was conducted in 2012.
