Abstract
Digital transformation is a recent phenomenon that is causing enterprises to adopt new business models and transform their core business operations. For this, enterprise architects require an enterprise modeling framework that would provide a systematic and structured mechanism for managing change in the enterprise at multiple levels and perspectives. This paper describes a set of digital transformation characteristics identified through a systematic literature review to identify research articles that attempt to define, discuss or share experiences regarding digital transformation in enterprises. These characteristics were then abstracted out as a set of requirements for a future enterprise modeling framework that enterprise architects can use to model and analyze enterprises that are undergoing transformation due to emerging digital technologies. Such a modeling framework would allow enterprise architects to analyze enterprises undergoing digital transformation, while considering complexities of software systems and business process design, data-driven decision making, flexibility and adaptation in enterprises, and stakeholder motives and intentions.
