Track 3: Integrated Systems in Service Industries

Professional services today must be efficient and standardized, but also customer tailored. A holistic management is obligatory to plan (strategic and operative) and deliver services obeying resource and quality constraints. Efficient integrated information systems (IIS) have to include customers, partners and contractors. Often external mobile systems (e.g. smartphones, touchpads), often causing 'bring your own device' challenges, must be integrated in IT-infrastructures and processes smoothly. Additionally often integrated business models and organizations must be considered. State of the art return on IT-investment (RoITI) and value of IT (ValIT) models must be developed and adapted. Powerful human-machine interfaces must be implemented for ease of use and usability. Often powerful standard software packages (e.g. CRM or ERP systems) like SAP must be selected, customized, introduced and migrated. Professional services are IIS enabled and based in many sectors, e.g. financial service providers, insurances, tourism, government, higher education, health or security and military services. Submissions are preferred with completed research on a high international level and an international/global focus. Both theoretical and applied submissions are welcome. Submissions should include relevant research questions, an appropriate research design and methodology and a comprehensive discussion of findings, recommendations and limitations. Real life case studies and action research submissions, to name only two, from practitioners are encouraged. All submissions should be theory and model based (e.g. procedure and reference models). Both empirical and design science research submissions are possible.
