Abstract

CIOs of higher education institutions need appropriate IT management tools for gaining digital transformation. Enterprise architecture is a suitable method for managing digital transformation. However, the EA frameworks are complex tools for use, and they need architecture expertise and time to adapt them to achieve their full benefits. This compare case study describes how the Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences CIO forum is utilizing the selected Higher education reference model (HERM) and Business technology (BT) standard and their capability models. An ethnographic approach has enriched this study – the author has used his experiences using the BT standard as an IT secretary general of the CIO forum. In contrast to several EA method and framework studies, there is much less information about the effects of BT standard or HERM on IT management. The study includes some propositions for practitioners to use the capability models in information and knowledge management in the HEI sector and recognize research gaps for future research.

Keyphrases: business technology standard, capability model, digital transformation, enterprise architecture, higher education reference model, information and knowledge management
