Supporting the development and realization of data-driven business models with enterprise architecture modeling and management

Abstract

Designing and realizing data-driven business models (DDBMs) are key challenges for many enterprises and are recent research topics. While enterprise architecture (EA) modeling and management proved their potential value for supporting information technology-related projects, EA’s specific role in developing and realizing DDBMs is a new and rather unexplored research field. We conducted a systematic literature review on big data, business models, and EA to identify the potentials of EA support for developing and realizing DDBMs. We derived 42 EA concerns from the literature, structured along the dimensions of the business model canvas and the status of realization (as-is, to-be).
