CfP: IOS 2.0 – New aspects on inter-company integration through Enterprise 2.0

 

Workshop at the 41st annual-meeting of the “Gesellschaft für Informatik” “INFORMATIK 2011 – Informatik schafft Communities”, October 4^th-7^th 2011, Berlin

 

Today inter-company integration as a model for the cooperation of organizations is strongly influenced by new communication methods. For example, the electronic communication subject in a natural way the community thought. The use of temporary inter-organizational systems forms temporary and strategic relationships between companies. Inter-organizational systems create a technology base that enables new value added models between the involved companies. The core question is how the new forms of communication and cooperation – summarized under the term “Enterprise 2.0” – can support and develop the value added significantly.

Inter-company integration is the enabler for inter-company business processes. The use of highly integrated inter-organizational allows the establishment of innovative and comprehensive value-added processes between multiple involved companies, partners and customers. The development of inter-company integration of paper-based methods through EDI-solutions to complex inter-organizational systems now faces the possibilities of Enterprise 2.0. The successful in-house use of technologies such as blogs, wikis, digital social networks and instant messaging has been shown sufficiently. Design principles of Enterprise 2.0, which are applied to any inter-company information systems, provide new challenges for the participants. These are found for example in the adoption of organizational structures and business processes. Against this background the question is how Enterprise 2.0 technologies can affect inter-company value significantly, which recipes for success are available for their use and how this affects the players involved.
