Abstract
Among the main challenges for standardisation of an IT architecture in a
multinational company are the different environments in the countries, in particular
regarding regulations and market specifics. Therefore, some subsidiaries have to
implement local IT solutions that contradict standardisation efforts and lead to a
heterogeneous IT architecture. Dynamic business environments require the on-going
adaption and re-alignment of business and IT. This is particularly challenging in
global multinational organisations that have to balance between standardisation and
local solutions. This paper presents an extension of the OMG Business Motivation
Model that supports strategic Business-IT alignment by making explicit the
dependencies between a company’s strategy and the different IT architectural
realisations. The approach has been developed as a case study with a multinational
company and evaluated with a transformation project in a regional organisation.
