<p class="MsoNormal">With increasing success in the use of Strategic and Competitive Information Systems (SCIS) for generating business value and gaining competitive advantage, businesses are more and more interested in successful design, development, deployment,
and use of these systems. We would like to solicit minitrack proposals for our track: Strategic and Competitive Uses of Information Technology (SUIT). The SUIT track will provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their research
on SCIS. This track has been one of the most successful tracks in the past 5 years in AMCIS. We look forward to participating in the AMCIS 2015 Conference in Puerto Rico.<o:p></o:p></p>
