N2 - Well executed, Enterprise Architecture (EA) management is commonly perceived as a strategic advantage. EA management sermonizes IT savvy firms to take profound decisions based on mature EA information. As of today, gathering required information, i.e. documenting the EA, is regarded both, time consuming and error-prone. As a reaction, recent approaches seek to automate EA documentation by extracting information out of productive system environments. In our recentwork we showed that a particular Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) namely SAP Process Integration can be used to extract EA relevant information. As a next step towards automated EA documentation, this paper analyzes the quality of the data stored in SAP Process Integration systems in practice. Survey results of 19 industry partners on 4 continents are presented.
