Mobile IT has received the most focus among recent cutting-edge IT fields, and contributes greatly to
businesses by realizing flexible working styles that involve Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD).
Mobile IT consists of a mobile management platform to manage mobile applications and data, and
mobile devices. Mobile IT applications, on the other hand, consist of Web services (including APIs
and connection to the Cloud (Software as a Service—SaaS)) sometimes developed with an agile
approach of Services that involve Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Thus, enterprise architects
have to adapt their methodologies and concepts in order to manage the complex service architecture
(Postina et al. 2010). Services are increasingly being perceived as one of enterprises’ essential assets
that need to be considered and integrated in EA (Correia & Silva 2007; Khoshnevis et al. 2009).
Correia and Silva (2007) emphasized the need to capture services within the EA frameworks. They
highlighted the importance of an integrated and cohesive vision of services in EA in order to increase
organizational agility.
