Abstract

Modern businesses face increased levels of competitive pressure, and the IT sector is going through a period of rapid change. These issues have resulted in a drive for new approaches to planning and managing IT services. Two approaches that have emerged in different eras are IS Strategic Planning (ISSP) and Enterprise Architectural Practice (EAP). Despite the apparent similarities between these two approaches, neither IS researchers, nor practitioners, have explored the relationship in any depth. This paper investigates the relationship between ISSP and EAP, utilising results from a survey in NZ enterprises.
