Abstracts due: July 31, 2018

Articles due: September 7, 2018

New IT systems supporting a digital business are among the broadest and 
most complex imaginable. Furthermore, unless the business in question is 
a start-up, the digital business systems must work with existing systems 
in diverse ways: exchanging data with them, supplementing or 
complementing them, or even displacing some of them over time. How 
should an architect even begin to think about designing such a system?

The system that has most in common with the digital business is the data 
warehouse. Shared characteristics include: a primary focus on 
data/information; a heavy dependence on completely independent, 
unpredictably changeable, and increasingly external upstream data 
sources; and poorly defined and highly changeable downstream business 
needs and applications.

An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal with Guest 
Editor Barry Devlin seeks articles that support or refute the premise 
that a (successful) data warehouse is the best starting point for the 
organizational, architectural, and technological journey to becoming a 
digital business.

Article ideas may include, but are not limited to, the following:

How does the architecture of a digital business compare to a data 
warehouse? What lessons can designers of digital businesses learn from 
existing data warehouse implementations, both successful and 
unsuccessful? What role would a data lake play? Where do real-time and 
near real-time concepts, such as the operational data store, apply and 
how would they need to change?

What can a digital business learn from the organizational challenges of 
defining and managing the imprecise and changing requirements of 
business users? How can business value be proven? Can real, long-running 
data warehouse processes/projects show how to avoid "change management 
chaos" and the leaching of value generation from multi-year programs?

What role can the Business Intelligence Center of Competence/Excellence 
play in the roll-out of a digital business? Which skills will need to be 
changed in the CoC/CoE?

How will data governance/management be handled? What are the challenges 
of externally sourced data, especially the Internet of Things? Will data 
modelling, as practiced in data warehousing, need to change 
significantly and, if so, how?

Which data warehouse technologies transfer directly to a digital 
business system? What changes would be required in ETL 
(extract-transform-load) systems? Will agile data warehouse automation 
tools better meet digital business needs? How important will data 
virtualization be? How will today's analytics adapt? What is the role of 
artificial intelligence?
