The annual Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) is viewed as one of the leading conferences for presenting the broadest variety of research done by and for IS/IT academicians. Every year its papers and panel presentations are selected from over 700 submissions, and the AMCIS proceedings are in the permanent collections of libraries throughout the world.

 

We are looking forward to receiving your submissions for the minitrack!

 

Precise information is listed below. Please feel free to forward this email to interested colleagues.

Minitrack 3:

Enterprise Architecture and Organizational Success

 

Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing an enterprise Information Technology architecture – both its description and its implementation. An EA description focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect (and his/her team) develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the business operations as well as to assess, select, and integrate the technology into the organization’s infrastructure. Alignment between business and IT has remained one of the top three issues for CIOs and IS managers for several years as reported by CIO magazine.

An EA implementation focuses on remediating, renovating, or replacing IT systems in compliance with the EA description to achieve the proposed benefits. EA is central to the execution of business strategies. Organizations vary in their degree of EA maturity. While the research literature has devoted substantial attention to the development of effective EA frameworks and the alignment of business and IT, there is very little empirical evidence about the organizational benefits of EA. For example, we know very little about which processes, approaches or coordination practices lead to an effective architecting effort or whether this effort leads to measurable organizational benefits.

Consequently, we are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our knowledge of EA; help us learn about effective processes and approaches to effectively manage the EA; and begin to identify ways to measure the organizational benefits derived from EA. Papers will be solicited in several areas, including, but not limited to the following:

 

• Architecting Processes, Methodologies and Practices

• Architectural Frameworks and Theory

• Tools and Techniques Supporting Architecting

• Service-Oriented Architectures (including Web Services)

• System versus Software Architectures

• Addressing EA Challenges

• Integration of EA with IT Governance and SOA

• Surveys and Case Studies

• EA and Organizational Success
