The case for Enterprise Architecture in local government

Digital transformation: The case for enterprise architecture in the local government sector

By Brigitte Augustes, Kameron Chan, Henry Paulet and Christine Beaton

Introduction

This paper from students at the University of Melbourne poses the question How can enterprise architecture support digital transformation in local government? The paper reviews the literature on the benefits of EA in digital transformations and explains how EA presents a well established approach to achieving digital capabilities and innovation in local government organisations. The paper acknowledges there is limited research on the use of EA for digital transformation in local government specifically and suggests areas where this limited research could be increased.
