*FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS*

18th Americas Conference on Information Systems

Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012

*TRACK*: Strategic Use of Information Technology

*MINI-TRACK*: IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures

*Description*

An integral part of IT management is the planning, steering, controlling, and monitoring of the enterprise IT systems and infrastructure in an efficient and effective way. On the one hand, IT managers have to satisfy business requirements and demonstrate the value-generating abilities of IT to the business. On the other hand, information technology and concepts of its application are evolving rapidly and thus managers have to decide which innovation out of many should be adopted within their respective IT organization.

In the last years, research and practice have developed and highlighted the benefits of new concepts to cope with these challenges. These are for instance concepts from: IT governance, IT alignment as well as enterprise architecture management. Furthermore, a lot of (best practice) reference models and frameworks (e. g. COBIT, ITIL, CMMI), standards (ISO 38500, 20000, etc.), and tools were developed and refined. They all provide methodological support to IT management.

The mini track "IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures" aims to review and discuss the state of the art of methodological support from a holistic perspective and will debate new approaches to support IT governance, business/IT alignment and IT architectures. In addition, new challenges and empirical findings should be analyzed within this domain. Both conceptual and empirical papers are welcome and will be considered for this Mini-Track.

- Relationship between and linking of IT governance and enterprise architectures
