Agile Information Systems for Collaborative Enterprises

摘要

In the last years, new challenges have arisen for both business and technical aspects due to the movement towards a collaborative-SMEs-driven society, where collaborative enterprises are used as catalysts of competitive advantages. However, between 50%-70% of Collaborative Enterprises fails, due to the lack of tools and methods to measure performance in an inter-organizational environment, where common boundaries of firms fail. In this scenario, a new role has been recognized to Enterprise Information Systems. As stated from FInES annual report, IS should "enable new forms of participation and collaboration, catalyze further the formation of networked enterprises and business ecosystems. In this project, a possible solution to face these challenges is offered. The general objective is to build a framework and a set of tools to support the governance of CEs through monitoring and benchmarking. This can be enabled through a comprehensive online service, based on enterprise modelling techniques, the creation of a collaborative web application and of repositories, taxonomies and ontologies for CEs.
