Abstract

The growth of ICT-mediated services in the private and public sectors demands that organizations become more focused in delivering efficient services to well-informed and demanding consumers. Governments, being very large enterprises, are increasingly under pressure to optimize and align their Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strategies and resources to support the business of government. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia responds to this challenge by adopting the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) to transform traditional government services into eGovernment services or eServices. Yesser Enterprise Level Architecture Framework (Y-ELAF) is an Enterprise Architecture Framework that is an adaptation of the industry-recognized framework, The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Version 9, modified to fit the government environment of Saudi Arabia. This chapter describes the seven iterative phases of Y-ELAF to develop the Enterprise Architecture of a government agency, the outcomes, and lessons learned.
