Combining BPM and EA in Complex IT Projects: (A Business Architecture Discipline)

The paper presents the up-to-date subject of why BPM and Enterprise Architecture should be an integrated part of any complex IT project. While nearly all Enterprise Architecture frameworks and methods include approaches of how to handle or work with process, none of the existing EA approaches actually incorporate Business Process Management in their EA disciplines. The benefits as well as different ways of how to combine these disciplines will be elaborated and illustrated in this paper.
