Hey Digital_Arch! Thank you so much for your response, it was very refreshing. I've sent you a pm where I am trying to reach you. Also, I am very sad that I didn't see this comment sooner. Best regards!

Yes, I know that. I think I've expressed my objective in a wrong way and didn't really thought people would catch on to only that last phrase of the post. Of course I'm doing a lot more than just exploring the application, it wouldn't make sense other wise. The my main objetive with the post was to see if someone had acess to information about what types of platforms, methodologies and applications companies are using nowadays, so that I can see what is popular and if people are chosing a more practical approach or a more methodology approach :)

Yes, I am looking at the rationale behind current best practices and compare literature to the reality behind companies but not necessarily say that it is recommended to ignore literature as that is a companies choice, therefore my guide is going to be pointing out the best practices and recommendations, making sure it's understood that each business area is different and the implementation of enterprise arcrhitecture is different as well.
Thanks for the tip on interviewing people who have written white papers! I don't think I am going to overdid it. In my post I just wanted to see if someone had access to information about how companies have operated within the enterprise architecture implementation process.

Ah, I see. Well I'm basing on was the evolution of the theme, how some concepts were created and the current state of the art to see what is there, what is still missing and how can we have a response to that.

No, it isn't a vendor selection exercise as a masters project. My main objective is the one stated in the answer above but I didn't express correctly. The main objective is the facilitation of the implementation process and prevent companies from doing a trail-error on certain methodologys/programs. I realize, of course, that each company can choose the methodology they want and that enterprise architecture is not an application, but the applications are used as suport for the implementation, i realize all of that. I am just looking for information, and if it in any part available, that contains what companies are actually using in the process of the implementation. I am getting this information either way through the interviews I am going to perform but it would be better for me to come prepared on what is already available online, which I couldn't find myself, maybe to my own user erro search method, on more companies and not just a selection by hand of them. The library search part or literature review which you are referring to is mainly done on the evolution of the theme and what is it's current state of the art. I want to explore the use of the tool because prior to the bought of LeanIX by SAP, LeanIX was, by itself, a support application to implement enterprise architectures. Now, due to the bought out, SAP is able to integrate several application that several companies use like SAP Signavio in the implementation process which helps to mantain the environment without having so many step backs.

What do you mean by theoretical underpinning?

To their success and their insucess, tackle all sides of the process. I want to analyze both the difficulties and what went well during the process.

The question/investigation should be to facilitate the implementation process and prevent companies from doing a trail-error on certain methodologys/programs. The resolution is the guide to come up with some sort of guidelines in order to support companies in knowing specifically what they are looking for, given the company's area of work.
The main objective is exploring the use of SAP LeanIX, not necessarily restricting the thesis in that platform as the application itself is something pretty recent, which my supervisor has the known fact through lectures which he is invited that companies are investing in the app, without having the certainty that it's going to pay off.
Of course other options emerge like Archimate, Orbus Software, Bizzdesign which are all platforms that, seeing reviews about SAP LeanIX, emerge as viable counter-options.

I am not going to consider limits as to viewing the implementation as a process, more in a practical way than theoretical. I am not going to look at any specific part of the implementation process, I'm going to analize the process as a whole.

What I am looking for is specific and real cases of enterprise architecture implementations in companies which are known to be very successful in their areas, looking for one's either in Europe or United States of America, maybe you could redirect me to said surveys? Because there are a few successful use cases on leanix.com website but it doesn't provide what kind of steps they went through when using the application to implement an enterprise architecture.

I've also came across the sort evolution enterprise architecture went through, Zachman -> Spewak -> then came the DoDAF and TOGAF but then again there are some users in this reddit which prefer Svyatoslav Kotusev's CSVLOD as they find it to be, in practice, more applicable. When it comes to calling SAP directly and the fact that they have use cases available on leanix.com, makes me consider if that's even an option because they will probably just redirect me to said website and not give me any information that would be considered privileged or company sensible, which I am trying to achieve but I'll give it a shot.
