Abstract
South Africa has a complex financial and retail service industry with high reliance on the use of IT
systems to ensure effectiveness and maintainability. Decision making and improved outcomes may
be done through an IT aligned enterprise architecture (EA) strategy. EA is a capability that contributes
to the support and success of an organisations' IT. Organisations are currently using EA to better
align IT and the business strategy which provides a comprehensive v.ew of the IT system. Thus, EA is
increasing in organisations yet the measurement and value of EA is limited to organisations and
enterprise architects.
The discussions of the benefits and value of EA has been discussed for several years, however there
are still no consensus about how the benefits and value of EA can be measured. The lack and clear
understanding of the benefits and value of EA needs to consider different aspects of IT as well as the
shareholders when measuring the benefits and value of EA to an organisation.
