ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates a methodological approach to migration that supports decision makers in addressing the transformation. The approach encompasses the initial assessment of the current level of manufacturing digital maturity, the analysis of priorities based on the business strategy, and the development of a migration strategy. The Industry 4.0 initiative promotes the digitalization of manufacturing in order to enable a prompt reaction to continuously changing requirements. The different migration processes found in the literature present some similarities, regardless of the domain and target of migration. The existing migration processes or methods are all target based, taking only in consideration a specific goal, e.g. service-oriented architectures. Architectures and information systems represent the backbone of enterprises, and their transformation is a part of the comprehensive process of an organizational change. The Likert-like questionnaires are constructed by “questions”, which are no more than statements of good practice.
