Abstract
Over the past decade, continuous challenges have been made to traditional business practices. At the same time, organisations have also experienced the effects of the integration and evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT). The Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) gained a new strategic support role as enabler of automation, monitoring, analysis and co- ordination of whole business functioning, a central role in the evolution of today organisations. These rapid changing situations originate a critical need for realistic representations -called business models- of what are the current or future business situations or what should be changed as well as its potential organisational impacts. This paper characterises the strong relationship existing between Business Models and EIS Architectures in a changing environment. Our main contribution is a set of roadmaps, which highlight the relationships between business process models and the requirements of EIS. These roadmaps provide guidance during the business modelling and the information system (IS) modelling processes.
