ABSTRACT
This chapter aims at clarifying the relationship of Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) and Business Transformation Management (BTM), as well as their respective methods. It is based on discussion of the Enterprise Architecture and Business Transformation question, and ten interviews with experts from science, consulting and industry practice, and on feedback provided by a sounding board of several SAP experts and managers. The chapter discusses with the experts who key users and stakeholders are, which problems need to be addressed, which goals are pursued, and the benefits and value added. It aims at providing insights about the relationship of EAM and BTM, as well as their respective methods. The chapter investigates the benefits and value that is added, capabilities and competencies which are needed and how EAM and BTM are evolving. In contrast to EAM, BTM helps business management to better plan and implement business change in terms of acceptance, alignment, and sustainability.
