Building operation faces great challenges in electricity cost control as prices on electricity markets become increasingly volatile. Simultaneously, building operators could nowadays be empowered with information and communication technology that dynamically integrates relevant information...

Ganz im Sinne der Zeitschrift HMD – Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik existiert in Deutschland neben anderen Ausrichtungen auch eine explizit auf Praxisorientierung ausgerichtete Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung. Dieser Beitrag behandelt aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln deren Entwicklungen und...

Am Beispiel der Telekommunikationsindustrie zeigt der Beitrag eine konkrete Ausgestaltung anwendungsorientierter Forschung, die sowohl für die Praxis als auch für die Wissenschaft nutzen- und erkenntnisbringend ist. Forschungsgegenstand sind die Referenzmodelle des Industriegremiums TM Forum,...

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bezeichnet eine Technologie, die die einfache Erstellung von Computerprogrammen (sogenannten Bots) zur Automatisierung von IT-gestützten Geschäftsprozessen über die graphische Benutzeroberfläche ermöglicht. Aktuelle Forschungsbemühungen im Themenfeld RPA...

This paper presents the Metrics Monitoring Tool (MMT) that was developed in university graduate and undergraduate courses on software project work in 2014-2016. The tool aims to support project members, project managers and upper management in reporting and monitoring software and project...

This paper examines research methods for designing and engineering a Business Information Security (BIS) artefact. Preventing and responding to cybercrime is becoming an integral part of management practices which are supervised by the Board of Directors (BoD), and it can no longer be perceived...

Design science is a problem-solving approach that focuses on how to develop and produce artifacts having desired properties. A Design Science Research (DSR) approach was followed to develop a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) artifact (semiotic framework [Semiotic Interface sign Design and...

While 'identifying customer value' is the first principle of Lean thinking, the concept of customer value has largely remained unchanged in the Lean discourse - quality, cost and delivery. This research examines the problem of working from such an internal process point of view in today's highly...

Managing projects in an organization, especially a project-oriented organization, is a challenging task. Project data has a large volume and is complex to manage. It is different from managing a single project, because one needs to integrate and synthesize information from multiple projects and...

A common topic when performing research in technical disciplines is to design some kind of artefact, such as a model, an information system, or a method for performing a certain task. To address this topic in a systematic and scientific way, Design Science Research (DSR) has established itself...
