Abstract

Enterprise architecture supports organizational engineering in many ways. Service orientation is regarded as dominant operations model for service providers -- within and beyond IT. As a consequence, it is important to integrate service management and service orientation into enterprise architecture. This paper proposes an enterprise architecture extension that achieves such an integration. IT service management is defined according to ITIL. Based on the integration of service management into enterprise architecture, the integration of Service Oriented Architecture is discussed as a further extension. The research is based on the Business Engineering approach and the guidelines of Method Engineering.
