Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, in an unpredictable and ever-changing world, especially with the new requirements and constraints of the pandemic, enterprises are increasingly aware that the right decision must be made at the right time, to maintain their sustainability and competitiveness. For this purpose, the enterprise should be prepared upstream to be future-ready. Considering that Enterprise architecture is the main instrument ensuring this alignment business//IT, the dynamic aspects should be present in each Enterprise’s Architecture phase. Mentioned superficially in classical approaches, we investigate studies focusing on this dynamic aspect in Enterprise Architecture, taking up the challenge to compromise the reliability of the modeling, measuring, implementing, or monitoring this complex paradigm on Enterprise Architecture, through a comparative study with the perspective of building a reliable and integrated model, which covers all phases of the enterprise architecture from end to end taking into account the dynamic aspects from multitude perspectives.
