Enterprise architecture and digital transformation

Abstract

The thesis examines the link between Digital Transformation and Enterprise Architecture, researching the implications of Digital Transformation on Enterprise Architecture, and recurring to the discipline of Enterprise Architecture in the context of Digital Transformation. Two categories of changes in the structure of organizations are identified: transformations that affect the management of internal resources, and transformations that affect how companies interact with their ecosystem. Additionally, 10 cases of Digital Transformation are modelled with an Enterprise Architecture approach. Finally, the paper suggests directions for future research on the subject.
