Towards Operationalizing Strategic Alignment of IT by Usage of Software Engineering Methods: An Enterprise-Modelling Oriented Approach to IT Governance

摘要

Abstract This paper presents an enterprise-modelling oriented approach to IT Governance. Main requirements for a IT Governance Framework are presented and applicability is shown by means of operationalizing Strategic Alignment — a main focus area of IT Governance. Two frameworks are briefly described, namely PRO~2SA (domain-specific for Strategic Business Alignment) and the general-purpose framework SQUAM for metamodelling, enterprise modelling and model-analysis. Key aspects of this approach are the information enrichment of enterprise models (mainly with key figures) and the integration into a Business Intelligence Suite for comprehensive business analysis.
