Description

It is hard to underestimate the role of (big) data in modern society. An organization’s ability to handle its data management has become a competitive force in its own right. While the business value of Enterprise Architecture (EA) as a whole is widely recognized, little practical guidance can be found in literature on the business value of Enterprise Data Models (EDM) as part of EA. To bridge this gap, we propose a framework for evaluating the business benefits of EDM, based on a Grounded Delphi study we performed at a large multinational case organization in the oil & gas industry.
