Abstract
Organizations introduce changes to adapt to an agile context in a turbulent environment. These change often have an impact on business and information technology. In most cases, the change impacts organizational elements that make the adaptation not well defined, leaving out elements that can lead to misalignment. The change is realized in this article as a project, which will impact all the Business-IT alignment elements. It is important to know the scope of the impact in order to make a complete adaptation. By reviewing the literature, we found that there is no work dealing with this aspect. To fill this gap, we determine the impact of the project on the organization by considering of Business-IT alignment and we proceed with a comparison of the AS IS model of the organization with the TO BE model which is the target to be implemented keeping the system aligned. Accordingly, we propose a metamodel for change by the impact of the project on the Business-IT alignment and a set of rules and algorithms to predict the impact and adaptation. To make these contributions operational, the implementation of Change Business-IT Alignment Tool and demonstrate its applicability through a case study of an urban agency.
Highlights
Today's businesses are facing rapid and dynamic changes in the business environment, making agility a critical step in achieving competitive advantage over competitors
The objective is to integrate a new project in the company by analyzing the change that will impact the elements by comparing the study of the existing (AS IS) with the target to be maintained (TO BE) taking into consideration the modeling of the project and integrating the French state urbanization model as a repository of Business IT alignment
It includes (1) a model of the study of the existing of the enterprise (AS IS) defined by the Archimate language that will be the first step, (2) the project that is the source of change and after (3) the impact of this project on the study of the existing to have the model defined by the Archimate language that we want to put in place taking into consideration the Business IT alignment (TO BE) [16]
Summary
Today's businesses are facing rapid and dynamic changes in the business environment, making agility a critical step in achieving competitive advantage over competitors. The objective is to integrate a new project in the company by analyzing the change that will impact the elements by comparing the study of the existing (AS IS) with the target to be maintained (TO BE) taking into consideration the modeling of the project and integrating the French state urbanization model as a repository of Business IT alignment. A process that will define that the project will be quantifiable for the company without damaging the Business IT alignment too much and by analyzing the change and the Business IT alignment elements impacting, we have a prototype that will concretize this contribution and will be simulated by a case study of a Moroccan urban agency.
