    Beyond Enterprise Architecture Modeling – What are the Essentials to Support Enterprise Transformations?
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISA 2013), 2013) Labusch, Nils; Aier, Stephan; Winter, Robert
    In recent years, many different modeling techniques and languages were developed in order to allow for an efficient and appropriate enterprise architecture management (EAM). Recently, EAM is no longer only seen as a means to ensure business/IT alignment but further as a means to support fundamental changes of the organization, often called enterprise transformation (ET). In a joint project with a group of practitioners we aim at developing a framework that provides guidance on how EAM can support such ETs and thus leverage the benefit of modeling. Our design results after more than one year of research reveal different types of EAM, areas of action in ETs and ET activities that can be supported by EAM. The findings show that modeling techniques or languages should focus on constructs like transitions, benefits or risks in order to increase their value for ET support.

    Can boundary objects mitigate communication defects in enterprise transformation? Findings from expert interviews
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISA 2013), 2013) Abraham, Ralf; Niemietz, Hella; Kinderen, Sybren de; Aier, Stephan
    Inappropriate communication is a major threat to enterprise transformations. While enterprise architecture (EA) models may be helpful to support communication, these models are often tailored to the needs of specialists like enterprise architects. Based on empirical data from 12 expert interviews, we analyze how EA models can become boundary objects that span knowledge boundaries and alleviate communication defects among heterogeneous stakeholder groups in enterprise transformations. We contribute a framework that maps six communication defects to three knowledge boundaries and to 12 boundary object properties as a foundation for future EA model design. Our findings also indicate that EA models alone are not sufficient for overcoming communication defects, but that facilitators like architects are needed in addition.
