    Enterprise transformations (ET) fail in many cases or do not accomplish the expected goals. Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is often considered to be an appropriate means to tackle this problem by providing information that is relevant to ET managers. Therefore, we analyze, which types of information provided during an ET contributes to its success. In addition we discuss if EAM can appropriately support ETs by providing relevant information. The results show that value can be provided to ET management when business-related information on a detailed level is offered. Examples are business requirements, business functions, or qualitative measures. We find information that can be provided by EAM to be an important success factor for ETs.

    In this Chapter we present a reference framework, more specifically a catalogue of capabilities, needed for doing ACET. As such, it also provides guidance on which elements/artefacts of enterprise architecture can be used to support which aspects of enterprise architecture. For architects, it shows where their services might generate value, if requested. For transformation managers, it provides a “capability catalogue”, describing for which parts of enterprise architecture they may seek advice from the enterprise architects. The framework as a whole provides a structure for the solution components that addresses the challenges as presented in Part II, and it comprises of the perspectives of strategy, value and risk, design, implementation, and change. The capabilities of all the perspectives together support transformation management, which is concerned with the management tasks at the overall transformation level, and with the architectural coordination function, which forms an umbrella function of integrating the individual perspectives into a consistent whole.

    A Major Transformation at a Global Insurance Company

    In this chapter we report on the case of a globally operating insurance company that has leveraged enterprise architecture management to support business transformations. In order to do so, the company has developed enterprise architecture management capabilities that help the business structuring the business transformation particularly in the early stages before handing over respective responsibilities to more specialized corporate functions later on. This case is interesting for understanding ACET because it is one of the rare cases where enterprise architecture management truly bridges the business–IT gap.

    Situational Adaptations of ACET

    In this chapter we address the fact that not all ACET problems are equal, and ACET solutions therefore need to be configured to address the specifics of the respective ACET problem. We approach this configuration problem by the means of situational method engineering. We find that the two most important differences of ACET problem situations result from the enterprise architecture management approach used, and the respective type of the transformation. We therefore present classifications for enterprise architecture management and enterprise transformation, and propose an appropriate ACET problem situation matrix. We finally demonstrate how ACET solutions are configured to a given problem situation.
