Sumario:The business architecture of an enterprise offers a combination of services in operating and modeling business activities. It helps to drive the business operation, integration of multiple systems, an allocation of information technology (IT) and other resources in an efficient manner. This paper discusses the business architecture’s standing in an enterprise, demonstrating the working and importance of business architecture in an organization. Furthermore, collaboration and relationships between key components of business architecture are a major point of discussion in this paper. A conceptual framework is presented that composes and enhances the idea of business architecture by extending it through the identification of benefits, thereby enabling an enterprise to achieve based on three models: strategic, operational, and IT. The extraction of parameter and developing the proposed model is based on published literature review. Ultimately, this study enhances the purpose of implementing business architecture and its key dimensions. Moreover, identifying benefits using different measuring factors presented in the model (i.e. strategic, operational, IT infrastructure) can help the business organizations and decision-makers evaluate the potential benefits of business architecture in an enterprise.
