Enterprise Architecture: a strategy for organizational change supported by information technology management. A bibliographic review
Abstract
The main objective of this article is to conduct a literature review on Enterprise Architecture (EA), the strategic management of Information Technology (IT), and organizational change, presenting their definitions and association in order to address the change in organizations. According to different studies in which EA is mentioned as an agile approach, we identified the main components of the organization and their relation with the purpose of achieving the business objectives. Currently, several companies rely on different strategies on account of their complexity and, therefore, require flexible business processes that support IT effectively throughout the organization. Given this panorama, the problem that we are trying to solve here is the following: How can EA be managed by means of IT strategies? In order to achieve this objective, the Slide method was used - sorting, labeling, integrating, and prioritizing - which first consisted of organizing the bibliographic information that was retrieved from structured databases. This information was then labeled in order to classify it and prioritize it for reading and analysis. The main conclusion of this work is that the organizations that have a more open attitude towards change are those that assume the challenge of transforming themselves using IT, and in which EA becomes a strategic ally by adequately managing business processes.
