Abstract
The information technologies era exaggerates the link between IT and business. One power eventually affects another. The current IT-business misalignment diagnostics methodologies are able to identify an issue (like SAM, SAMM, etc.), but they do not formulate a particular algorithm to eliminate the misalignment. Therefore, the goal of this study is represented with the way of eliminating the gap between IT and business via a SAM, TOGAF, and BISMAM combination. This model integration represents eminent advantages through the ability to solve misalignment issues using the proposed model. This is the novelty of this research. The core of this approach is an Enterprise Architecture discipline which divides a company into architectural levels. It guarantees a comprehensive view on the issue. Moreover, the most appropriate methodologies of IT-business accordance were evaluated for the future integration. The results were demonstrated through the model usage on the organization example.
