In this paper, the authors present the results of a design science research project to develop a method for the evaluation of enterprise architecture projects. The methodology is based on the SAAM methodology, and applies concepts from the Normalized Systems theory to provide a more systematic way of performing architectural evaluations. They first discuss the problem statement, the objectives of our solution and the design of the method. The authors then demonstrate how the method has been applied in a real-life organization. Finally, they evaluate the proposed method using the criteria formulated in our problem statement.

BackgroundHealthcare organisations are undergoing a major transformational shift in the use of information and digital health technologies. Enterprise architecture (EA) has been incrementally adopted in many healthcare organisations globally to facilitate this change. EA can increase the effectiveness of an organisation’s digital health capabilities and resources. However, little is known about the status of EA adoption in low-income and middle-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate the challenges, goals and benefits associated with adoption of EA for healthcare in the Asia eHealth Information Network (AeHIN) member countries .MethodsWe developed an EA Adoption Evaluation framework with four principal layers: governance, strategy, EA and performance. The framework guided the development of a questionnaire to investigate the goals, challenges and benefits faced before and during EA adoption by healthcare organisations.Sample26 participants from 18 healthcare organisations in the Asia-Pacific region representing 11 countries. Organisations included Ministries of Health, Universities, Non-Governmental Organisations and Technical Advisory Groups.FindingsOnly 5 of the 18 organisations had begun adopting EA. The goals expressed for EA adoption were to address issues such as interoperability, lack of technical infrastructure and poor alignment of business and information technology strategies. Cost reduction was less emphasised. The main challenges to adopting EA was the lack of EA knowledge, leadership and involvement of senior management.ConclusionThe adoption of EA is incipient in AeHIN member healthcare organisations. To encourage EA adoption, these organisations need to invest in internal capacity building, senior management training and seek independent EA expert advice to systematically identify and address the barriers to adopting EA.

Abstrak— Aset adalah hal penting yang dimiliki oleh setiap perusahaan atau organisasi. Proses manajemen aset yang dilakukan dengan tepat akan membuat aset yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan atau organisasi lebih optimal. Karena proses manajemen aset belum terlaksana dengan maksimal, maka pada penelitian ini direncanakan sebuah arsitektur enterprise untuk proses manajemen aset untuk kelompok perusahaan PT. Musdalifah Group dengan kerangka kerja Zachman melalui tujuh tahap. Tahap pertama adalah pengumpulan data terkait manajemen aset perusahaan yang digunakan sebagai acuan perencanaan. Tahap kedua adalah inisialisasi perencanaan yang menghasilkan rencana kerja arsitektur perusahaan sesuai ruang lingkup dan kondisi perusahaan. Tahap ketiga, meninjau kondisi enterprise saat ini perusahaan, dengan hasil tinjauan model proses bisnis dan katalog sumber daya perusahaan terkait manajemen aset. Tahap keempat adalah analisis hasil tinjauan enterprise dengan analisis SWOT, sehingga dapat dihasilkan 5 rencana proses bisnis serta usulan sistem dan teknologi terintegrasi. Tahap kelima melakukan perencanaan arsitektur enterprise yaitu arsitektur data dengan hasil 34 kandidat entitas data, arsitektur aplikasi yang menghasilkan 9 kandidat aplikasi, dan arsitektur teknologi dengan hasil 3 kandidat perangkat keras dan platform aplikasi yang terintegrasi. Sedangkan tahap terakhir, perencanaan implementasi hasil penelitian yaitu, rencana pemenuhan komponen, rencana migrasi, dan evaluasi dampak arsitektur. Evaluasi dari hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa cetak biru arsitektur dapat diterima oleh perusahaan dan dipertimbangkan untuk diimplementasikan beberapa tahun kedepan.Kata Kunci—Perencanaan Arsitektur Perusahaan, Kerangka Kerja Zachman, Manajemen Aset.Abstract— Asset is an important thing that owned by any company or organization. Asset management process aims to manage an organization’s assets optimally. Because of the asset management process has not been implemented maximally, so in this study planned an enterprise architecture for the process of asset management for the group of companies PT. Musdalifah Group using Zachman framework through seven phases. The first phase, data collection, and the results is relevant information of company’s asset management as a design reference. The second phase, planning initialization, generates enterprise architecture work plan according to the scope and conditions of the company. The third phase, reviewing the company's current enterprise conditions, the results of the review are models of business processes and enterprise resource catalog of related asset management. The fourth phase, results review analysis of enterprise with SWOT analysis, so it can produce 5 plan and proposed business processes and technology systems terintegrasi. The fifth phase, enterprise architecture planning of data architecture with the results are 37 data entities candidates, application architecture which produces 9 applications candidate, and technology architecture with the results are 3 hardware and application platform candidates. The last phase, planning the implementation of the research’s result, plan fulfillment component, the migration plan, and evaluating the impact of architecture. Evaluation of the result of research is describing that the architectural blueprints can be received by the company and considered to be implemented next few years.Keywords— Enterprise Architecture Planning, Zachman Framework, Asset Management.
