Based on the proposed methodology to collect the data, a survey, literature review and interviews were carried to study the possible effect of EA on business processes automation. The observations recommended EA as a strong supporter to the identified success factors in business processes automation initiatives, EA could be adopted and implemented by the IT or the business, however the observations showed that EA implementations requires power and authority for the change management process. | en_US |
