Die Aufgaben im IT-Management andern sich rasant. Wahrend bisher der CIO hauptsachlich den ordentlichen Betrieb der IT sicherstellen musste, stehen heute und in Zukunft immer starker die Verbesserung der Performanz und Effektivitat aller Unternehmensbereiche auf der Agenda. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, die geanderte Rolle des CIO vor dem Hintergrund grundlegender Entwicklungen und Trends aufzuzeigen. Wie kann der CIO mit bestimmten Entscheidungen auf neue Herausforderungen reagieren? Im ersten Teil des Buches werden grundlegende Trends dargestellt, die eine veranderte CIO-Rolle bedingen. Im...

Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems II, Volume 1 presents work from the IFIP TC 8 WG 8.9 International Conference on the Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems (CONFENIS 2007).

Enterprise information systems (EIS) have become increasingly popular over the last 15 years. EIS integrate and support business processes across functional boundaries in a supply chain environment.
