Nowadays, enterprises face two challenges: complexity and frequent changes in business and technology. in order to survive in their ecosystem and compete with competitors, they are looking for solutions and methods to effectively manage, update, and optimize their businesses and services manage, update and optimize their businesses and services effectively. Enterprise architecture is the solution to overcome the above two problems. Enterprise architecture is a technical, top-down, and comprehensive view of the organization that defines all the components of an organization and the connections between them. In more technical terms, "enterprise architecture" is a set of technical maps, diagrams, and documents that can be used to draw the current state of the organization, identify the bottlenecks, and draw the ideal state of the organization, and then formulate a plan to migrate to the desired state. And operated. In this article, one of the four main processes of the second secondary school board of trustees of Iran Education Organization, which is the registration process and challenges and affects a large audience (stakeholders) every summer, is examined and with the approach of organizational architecture and according to We introduce ADM (TOGAF) method, a desirable and improved model for it in all layers of organizational architecture. The improved model was implemented in three schools, and its performance results were compared and evaluated using a questionnaire. According to the values ​​obtained from the indices of statistical tests, the proposed improved model has performed better than the traditional model.

Organizational cooperation emerges as a tool that allows members of the cooperation network to make decisions based on shared information and two-way exchanges that coordinate and synchronize activities with the aim of attracting It causes the satisfaction of the market and the increase of the common profit. Cooperation networks are formed by organizations that have a prior desire to cooperate with each other in order to achieve their common interests by using information technology and through joint decision-making and effective participation. The purpose of this research is to investigate the networks (CNs) and the cooperation process that allows them to increase interaction in the environment. These new tools are based on enterprise architecture (EA). On the other hand, organizations that cooperate with other organizations in order to gain competitive advantage and deal with environmental complexities, each has its own unique organizational architecture. Investigating the effect of this organizational architecture on the cooperation network architecture of organizations is the target of this research. In this regard, by reviewing the theoretical literature and using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method, a framework has been developed to examine the impact of the organization's information technology architecture on the architecture of inter-organizational cooperation. The results of this research show 5 dimensions of organization architecture and 6 dimensions of inter-organizational cooperation architecture and how they are leveled and related in the form of a final model. The insight that this framework provides to organizations can help in better designing the architecture of the organization to enjoy an effective cooperation and the benefits of it. Enterprise architecture is a continuous process after initiation. Establishing such a process involves interacting with different dimensions of the organization. Therefore, the cultural, human, technical, structural, event, etc. dimensions throughout the organization are fundamental issues in the successful implementation of organizational architecture. Considering that the implementation of organizational architecture is costly and expensive, its poor implementation provides many problems for the organization.

In the subject of common information technology, we strengthen and precisely specify the legal dimensions, standards, control guidelines, time frames and the form of situations. MICMAC analysis showed that the components of the content model (conceptual description) of the organization's architecture, the logical model (systemic description) of the organization's architecture and business strategies of cooperation have the greatest influence on other components and are key components in They are considered to be the formation of the cooperation process. Other investigated components have high power of penetration and dependence and are located in the connected area and these components have two-way communication with each other. According to the results of the research, the following suggestions were made: The research results show that technology plays a very important role in the development of inter-organizational cooperation, so it is suggested that organizations design inter-organizational information systems. Among the factors of level 1, knowledge cooperation is the factor influencing inter-organizational cooperation. Therefore, in organizational architecture, the mechanisms of knowledge production, acquisition and application should be predicted. Designing and establishing specific processes for inter-organizational cooperation is a necessity that must be considered by organizations in the design of organizational architecture.

The current research aims to build and validate measurement tools for model design Enterprise Architecture A university was conducted. The research method is mixed. In the qualitative part, using targeted sampling and open coding method, out of 87 scientific articles and valid documents available in the field of organizational architecture, 35 cases were examined in direct connection with the university and compiled as a questionnaire, then for survey (Delphi method). Regarding the components obtained through snowball sampling, 15 management experts (with three years of management experience) were provided. After modification, the final form was designed with 3 core categories with 93 sub-components (sub-components related to business architecture with 70 items, information systems architecture with 15 items and technology architecture with 11 items). To determine the validity of the questionnaire, content validity, divergent validity and construct validity were used, and Cronbach's alpha (0.913) was used to determine its reliability. The factor loadings of business architecture, information systems architecture, and technology architecture are respectively equal to 0.869, 0.989, and 0.853. For statistical analysis of structural equation modeling, SPSS 26, Smart software PLS 3.2 was used, the results showed that each of the factors has a suitable factor load to predict the main dimensions of the questionnaire, and as a result, the designed tool has high reliability and validity.

This Review Provides Significant Scientific Basics for Organizations that are Looking for Appropriate Methods and Tools for Management and Supervision in the Field of Enterprise Architecture, which can have a significant effect on saving cost and time.

Cloud computing as a computing infrastructure provides powerful solutions for data storage, processing, and distribution, and can easily and quickly integrate, adapt, and deploy enterprise-wide enterprise platforms and Reduce usage and maintenance costs. Organizational architecture is also an integrated approach that provides comprehensive solutions for designing and deploying different dimensions of the organization. Providing a hybrid framework of cloud computing and enterprise architecture can provide a model for cloud deployment and applications within the organization and can provide an appropriate paradigm for the levels of cloud computing in enterprise architecture and present the roles of actors. The present study attempts to integrate enterprise architecture with cloud computing and has attempted to provide a framework for exploiting the benefits of both technologies by analyzing the integration of enterprise architecture and cloud computing. This research, using a meta-synthesis method, analyzes literature on cloud computing models and architectures, organization architecture, and human resource management. After identifying 19 concepts in five main categories, the organizational architecture model is based on Provide the cloud and extend its application to the task of human resource management. The validity of the model was evaluated and validated by the experts and the Lawshe model. Based on findings, Indeveloped model the components, steps, activities and outcomes of the framework are presented and described. The proposed framework model has three main roles: the consumer business, the provider of cloud-based business services, and the developer and vendor of the cloud service. Cloud computing has been adapted to the layers of enterprise architecture and its applications are presented.

The aim of this study was to investigate the enterprise architecture (EA) of the status quo at the Sports and Youth General Directorate (SYGD) of Mazandaran Province in order to design a model of the desirable situation. The research method was applied in terms of objectives and descriptive-survey based on quantitative and qualitative analysis using documentary and Delphi methods. The statistical population of this study consisted of all managers and the sample size was 140 persons using Morgan table. Data were collected with a researcher-made questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of reliability was 0.88. To analyze the data, Delphi document analysis methods done with a comparative and deductive approach using SPSS software. The results show that the status quo is moderate in most of the qualitative features (alignment, convergence, integrity, Maintenance and Development, Efficiency, and Security) requires improvements. Therefore, a new service-based model was designed to draw the future status, which was evaluated using the Delphi method. Taking the overall results of this research together, it can be concluded that the proposed model is appropriate to a great extent and acceptable to Iranian architects and specialists.

Enterprise architecture is considered as one of the effective ways of aligning information technology with business. In order to use the benefits of Enterprise architecture, the growing trend of its implementation in the organization should be considered. For this purpose, it is necessary to use control and evaluation tools. Enterprise architecture maturity assessment, as one of the effective methods of managing enterprise architecture process, is very important. The goal of maturity assessment is to determine the current status of the organization and to draw a clear picture of the future growth path of the organization. Today, the importance of maturity assessment in various organizational areas is becoming increasingly evident. However, in this area, in the field of financial and banking institutions, due to the complexity of the architecture of information technology and organizational architecture in these institutions, no significant activities were undertaken. Therefore, the present study aims to provide a new and customized model, in order to measure the maturity level of enterprise architecture, in one of the largest banks in Iran. For this purpose, after the extraction of the subject literature, the study and observation of the target bank have been dealt with. The descriptive approach and the structural equations have been developed and then the conceptual model has been extracted. The model includes 3 dimensions, 23 variables and 75 indicators .

Information & Communication Technology (ICT) and its vast applications have deeply affected cultural, social, and economic issues of various organizations in recent years. To achieve faster economic growth, some organizations have rushed to deploy ICT; however they have faced new challenges which require more perfect planning. This paper is the challenges and obstacles in running ICT Master Plan (ICT-MP) in an organization, and to offer effective solutions in this regard.In the questionnaires, 9 key factors namely organizational problems, administrational factors, cultural and educational factors, manpower qualification, security, private sector power, financial and economic factors, governmental support, and technological infrastructure are considered. All 9 factors are proved to be effective, based on the received answers and the data analysis done by using t-test and single sampling method. Furthermore, according to the sequencing done by using Fridman test, these 9 factors are ranked in terms of importance and effectiveness. At last, based on the results of data analysis and the background, the effective considerations for successfully running ICT master plans are presented.

Nowadays, many of organizations, who are involved in enterprise architecting, make their own architecture framework or customize existing frameworks. These endeavors are based on the knowledge and the experience of each organization, and there is no defined method for developing the enterprise architecture framework. Therefore, a method for developing architecture framework is presented in this qualitative research. For this reason, 15 versions of 5 most used architecture frameworks are analyzed based on the interpretive phenomenology. Based on this analysis, a method for developing architecture frameworks is introduced which contains 8 disciplines and 6 phases. Analyzing the qualitative data of the research and also the validation of the research are carried out using the guidelines of Van Manen in the interpretive phenomenology.

Enterprise architecture approach as the dominant paradigm in the field of Information Technology Planning, has growingly been used in public and private organizations. Proper control of the changes in line with the organization goals requires accurate knowledge of the current and future states and a clear plan to move from the current to the desired stat. This can be accomplished through enterprise architecture. As Islamic Azad University has multiple branches across the country, it is essential that it follow a general comprehensive plan aligned with the organization goals. Therefore, in this study, the current architecture of Dehaghan branch from region four of Islamic Azad University and the university central secretariat were selected and evaluated. A qualitative approach was undertaken in documents analysis and Delphi method. As such, face-to-face interviews with vice chancellors, managers and employees along with the documents provided the data to analyze. Then, contrastive matrixes and descriptive models based on reference evaluation models of enterprise architecture were developed in terms of quality, alignment, convergence, integration, maintenance and development capabilities, performance, and security. Through document analysis, technical evaluation criteria were generated. The results of this evaluation suggested that the current state was not satisfactory and required improvement. Thus, a new service-oriented model was posited for the future state and then assessed using the Delphi method. The feedback indicated that the proposed model was appropriate to a large extent and approved by Iranian architects and experts.

The purpose of this study is to identify issues on Enterprise Architecture through surveying subjectivity and opinions of participants. Exploration mixed research method was conducted which is based on qualitative meta-synthesis method and Q-methodology. In the first step, selecting studies were conducted to identify the most important issues that influence the success of Enterprise Architecture, a literature study of 21 articles and studies was conducted from different data bases. In the second step, synthesizing translations, we first assembled all the studies together and determined how they are related to each other. We then translated the studies with each other based on a comparative approach. In the last step, expressing the synthesis, we presented our new metaphor and consequently 14 issues are identified. Next, we used Q-methodology; it has been applied as a mixed method in this study. In this step we had 4 interviews with managers and experts to identify some more issues. Then we elicited the statements. Given the appraisal and summarization of concourse, a variety of concourse were discovered and obtained from various sources, and then 110 short statements were selected as Q-phrases. After a survey of experts, 43 Q-sample were chosen., then we choose 21 participants which constitute managers and specialists on Enterprise Architecture to sort the Q-tests. After Q-sorting, the information was analyzed using factor analysis. Distribution analysis showed that 6 distinct subjective perspectives about the issues on Enterprise Architecture can be identified among participants which explained (70.770) percent of total variance. These 6 subjective perspectives were called as: "Managerialists", "Proficient control takers", "Complex minded", "Collaborative architects", "Analysts", and finally "Accurate architects". The importance and prioritization of issues were identified based on subjective perspectives.
