Organizations managers need to develop comprehensive information technology programs with an Enterprise Architecture (EA) strategy, in order to decrease the costs and different risks, and also increase efficiency, utility and effectiveness of the organization. Due to expensive implementation of enterprise-wide scenarios, a continuous evaluation can measure different strategies in terms of different aspects, and according to the current conditions of the organization and select the most suitable strategy. Therefore organizations can analyze different strategies and decision options in terms of cost and benefit in order to make suitable decisions according to the utilities of the organization. In this paper, a new method has been used to analyze the Enterprise Architecture scenarios in terms of cost and benefit. The suggested method is presented by a step by step process in which CBAM method has been utilized to measure the cost. This approach ranks enterprise scenarios, using knowledge and experiences of the enterprise experts. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated using a practical case study.
