Visualization of Changes in ArchiMate - Within the Application and Technology Layers

Abstract

Enterprise architecture is periodically changed. The visualization of changes is demanded for communication of the teams implementing changes. In this paper, we use the modern cases of transformation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems to the Best of Breed solutions and the popular modeling language ArchiMate with its extensions to propose a method for visualization of changes. The method covers changes within the application and technology layers and their link to the business layer. It includes artifacts, principles and means for visualization. The method is tested with real cases of changes of ERP using the Best of Breed strategy.
