Abstract

Planning changes in an enterprise and its supporting IT can be supported by enterprise architecture (EA) models. The planned changes result in gaps which can be derived by a gap analysis. But, knowing the gaps is not enough. Also important is to know in which sequence gaps are to be closed for transformation path planning. In this paper we show how gaps are identified and reused for detailing a model of the target architecture. Based on this refinement further gaps become visible. Furthermore, we describe how it is possible to create with a transformation model and an action repository transformation paths towards a desired and detailed target architecture. Afterwards, we give a use case example and propose a technical realization of the solution.
