is “Cloud Computing and Analytics: Innovations in E-Business Services.” E-business technologies and applications play a very important role in driving the innovations in the service economy. Cloud services have expanded to both businesses and consumers, making
available new ways for storing and accessing data from anywhere in the world. As the volume of data collected and stored on the cloud increases exponentially, there is a need for analytics innovations to make the data useful. Many exciting research questions
are emerging. We call on IS researchers and IT practitioners to explore the impacts and trends of cloud computing and analytics innovations in the e-business service areas.
