Title:
Enterprise Architecture Benefits: Perceptions from Literature and
Practice
Abstract: Enterprise Architecture (EA) is considered a means
for acquiring a multitude of benefits in organizations by most academic literature
and practitioners alike. However, academic research has almost omitted the
domain of EA benefits and value realization, and thus more research on the
subject is needed. This paper describes a study which aims to chart the benefits
of EA by a comprehensive literature review and a practitioner focus group
interview. As a result, a categorization of EA benefits is composed and discussed.
