N2 - Organizations use digital technologies to stay competitive but it poses a range of challenges regarding the selection and integration of technologies. Having a clear enterprise architecture supports organizations choose the right technology, integrate new technologies, and capture latent values. This study applies the enterprise architecture framework TOGAF when designing and implementing two baseline service-oriented architectures for Maxon, a Swiss manufacturer of precision drives. The first use case aims to improve quality management. It describes an architecture for data analytics using Microsoft Azure cloud services, which exports the working dataset from a local SQL database to a cloud-based SQL server to further process the data. The second use case aims to improve warehouse logistics processes. It proposes the introduction of citizen development where non-IT employees developed a warehouse logistics application for smartphones. This study demonstrates how companies can leverage enterprise architecture to improve business operations. More specifically, this paper shows how service-oriented architecture in a well-designed enterprise architecture enables use case development and scaling. Considering the trend towards (cloud) service adoption, this paper provides useful guidelines for the transformation. It presents a structured approach to design an enterprise architecture that aligns transformation efforts within the organization.
