FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CHANGING ROLE OF INFORMATIONS SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

Information Systems (IS) evolve with advances in technology in a silent but radical manner. Initially monolithic and isolated, now they are modular, diversified, integrated and ubiquitous. This ubiquity is not always planned. New applications arise quickly and spontaneously. Current IS applications serve different needs and different audiences, inside and outside the organization, not always in an organized and integrated manner. Technology trends, such as BPM and SOA accentuate the pace of change. The wide range of applications and the pace of innovation brings complexity to the IS planning, developing and integration. This work comprises a study of the evolution and current status of IS in organizations. Its main objective is to provide an integrated theoretical framework helping academy and organizations to understand, plan and conduct efficiently their current information systems efforts.
