Abstract: Digitalisation is affecting business models of many enterprises and changing the way information work is done. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is one way of implementing this change, but despite its capability to model services on a business level, the enterprises are not able to link the value of the services with the related investments. This paper proposes the use of ontology as a tool to make service-oriented architecture an integrated part of the business model. This linkage enables the SOA investments to be evaluated as a part of the value delivery process of the enterprises.

Keywords: business models; IT value; service-oriented architecture; SOA; ontology; case study; service identification; business model generation; business alignment; Val IT; cost volume profit analysis; modelling; information technology; value delivery. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
