Recently, dynamic business-IT alignment (BITA) has attracted increasing attentions. However, the description and the governance of dynamic BITA are insufficient in the literature. To address this gap, a conceptual BITA evolvement model is proposed combining enterprise architecture with the BITA maturity framework, and a sustainable BITA factor on dynamic resource allocation is introduced in this evolvement model. To discuss the sustainable factor in a comprehensive way, we explored a series of possible changes and corresponding resource influences within the alignment of business functions and applications. A dynamic resource allocation algorithm is proposed, and an illustrative case study is presented to verify the algorithm's efficiency.
