dc.description.abstract | Architecture evaluation is a way to get answers to organisation’s information needs
and problems relating to its business and ICT. Companies’ needs to move towards
business value driven ICT-development and pressures to improve the costeffectiveness
of ICT are some of the reasons for the increasing interest in the
evaluations and measurements of architectures. However, the role and the meaning
which architecture evaluation may have in companies is not clearly identified or
defined. For example, needs and triggers for architectural evaluations do not seem to
be identified in previous studies. The aim of this study is to gain understanding of
roles and meanings, which architecture evaluation and measurement may have in
companies. Triggers for evaluations and measurements were identified and analyzed.
Practitioners from five ICT user and service provider organisations were interviewed in
this study. This study reveals that the role of architecture evaluation may be to
enhance the understanding of company’s business and ICT-environments from
financial and structural viewpoints. In addition, it can be used as a tool in change
management, quality assurance, process planning, IT cost management and
architectural choice making. | en |
