Enterprise Information Systems
 
 
*** Track Description
 
Enterprise systems (ES) are information systems (IS) that do not focus on 
specific “local” functionalities and/or concerns but integrate such 
functionalities/concerns to support enterprise-level, 
“global”requirements. ES’s implementation, utilisation, and upkeep demands 
substantial organisational effort and resources. Consequently, ES 
constitute the most significant investment organisations will likely 
undertake. Many organisations are enhancing, substituting, or expanding 
their original ES. Initial versions of ES primarily provided back-office 
functionalities, integrating various internal business processes.
 
In contrast, contemporary ES has progressed to encompass support for 
diverse front-office and interorganisational activities, including 
customer relationship management, human resource management,and supply 
chain management. Enterprise-level IS supports novel business models 
beyond the firm’sboundaries, such as business ecosystems or digital 
platform-based business networks. Further, artificial intelligence (AI) is 
being embedded and deployed in ES to enable better decision-making, 
greater efficiency, and more robust innovation built on the data streams 
generated by and flowing through suchsystems. Designing such extensive 
integrated systems poses a considerable technical challenge and 
necessitates novel perspectives on business models, business processes, 
system development, enterprise architecture, organisational embedding, or 
transformation management. Over the last two decades,technological and 
managerial/organisational innovations have expanded enterprise solutions’ 
capabilities while challenging traditional design and coordination 
approaches.
 
Given the evolving requirements of corporate strategy and the business 
environment, ES must continuously progress toward enterprise-level IS. 
Unlike many other IS categories, enterprise-level IS consists of various 
artefact types due to their integration, alignment requirements, and 
inherent complexity. The enterprise-level implies considering diverse 
stakeholders and perspectives across business and IT boundaries, corporate 
functions, and even legal entities. The complexities of enterprise level 
IS manifest in the number of components and their interdependencies and 
the resulting dynamics and emergence over time. Some significant 
challenges of corporate IS management, such as complexity management, 
IT/business alignment, or transformation management, require an 
enterprise-level analysis.
 
The challenge of integrating technological innovations and adapting 
business processes within enterprise-level IS persists. Continuous 
technological enhancements in IS pose challenges in adopting these changes 
at an enterprise and ecosystem level. Due to their complexity and 
integrated nature, enterprise-level IS are challenging to implement and 
are linked to various organisational changes. Organisations anticipate 
substantial benefits from significant investments in ES, although 
realisation is not always guaranteed.
 
This track aims to explore contemporary issues, both academic and 
practitioner-centric, related to the evolution of integrated IS, 
encompassing themes related to information systems’ internal and external 
integration and the fostering of innovation of various forms. This 
includes strategic, operational, social,project, and process management, 
supply chain considerations, integrating emerging technologies into the 
core of IS, and platform approaches. Interdisciplinary concerns, 
particularly in specialised ES are as such as healthcare and supply chain 
management, emerging delivery models, and enterprise and business 
architecture, are also within the scope of this exploration.
 
 
*** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
Integration and transformation-related aspects of ES;
Design, Management and Governance of Enterprise-wide systems;
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Enterprise-wide systems;
Applications of ES to coordinate business ecosystems such as digital 
platforms;
Interorganizational coordination (e.g., design principles, data standards, 
governance in business networks);
Interoperability of Enterprise-wide Systems with the firm and along the 
supply chain;
Business innovation with ES;
Business-/IT-Alignment;
Enterprise architecture management, integration management;
The role of Enterprise-wide Systems to support decisions (Data-driven 
decisions);
Enterprise-wide Systems and Society 5.0;
Processes and Workflows in Enterprise-wide systems (Workflow Management 
Systems as part of Enterprise-wide systems).
