Module contents

Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is an interdisciplinary approach for the integration of information systems in enterprises and enterprise-like structures to support their business objectives and business processes. EAM addresses the harmonization of these aspects on the basis of the respective IT-architecture and business architectures to a holistic enterprise architecture. The description and development of such architectures is structured by Enterprise Architecture Frameworks like TOGAF and ZACHMAN.
In general, the following architectural perspectives are taken into account: 

  • business architecture
  • information and data architecture
  • application architecture
  • technology architecture

Oral examination or written examination at the end of the semester

With an appropriate number of participants (<12 students), an oral examination will be held. In case of a high number of participants (>12 students), an exam will be held instead. It counts the number of participants in the Stud.IP at the beginning of the first course. Exercises are issued during the semester, the successful completion of them is credited to the examination with a maximum total of 10% bonus.
