Model maintenance based in COBIT for the applications architecture in TOGAF enterprise architectures — MOMCAE

This paper presents concepts related to enterprise architecture (EA) and the rationale for how their practice has been gaining importance in organizations because of its integrating character and purpose of aligning Information Technology (IT) in business [1], [2]. An exercise in AE using frameworks that provide guidelines that guide its implementation. In TOGAF phase change management architecture establishes guidelines for maintenance of AE [3], however, the level of abstraction is high, does not identify the conditions that trigger the maintenance, or define how that should make [3]. This raises the need to formulate a maintenance model to structure the various elements that make up the process, contributing to have traceability of the different changes arising during the life horizon AE, thereby controlling the maintenance process.
