Background and Goals
Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) like ERP-, CRM- and SCM-systems are pervasive in today’s organizations. EIS implementation projects ask for major financial investments of organisations. They impact many processes and employees of an organisation and require significant organisational change. EIS are not only a pervasive phenomenon from a financial point of view, but they also embed a high level of complexity from a technical, an organisational and from a business perspective. As a consequence many heterogeneous managerial competences are required. This workshop addresses the approaches, methods and techniques applied in order to analyse and manage Enterprise Information System.

Submitted papers will undergo a thorough double peer review process where they will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly state the research contribution, and address relations to previous research. Position and survey papers are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• governance of EIS
• project management
• human and organizational factors
• critical success factors (CSF) and critical failure factors (CFF)
• change management
• implementation characteristics in SMEs
• implementation scenarios
• risk analysis and management
• IT service specification
• ITIL applications
• service level agreements
• power and politics in EIS implementations
• maturity levels of EIS implementation
• EIS maintenance and post-implementation issues
• case studies on successful & failed implementations
• role of the IS function during implementation
• business process management
• methodological aspects of EIS research
• innovative approaches to EIS management

Submission of Papers
Prospective authors are invited to submit proposals for oral presentation in any of the areas listed above. Submissions can be: regular papers, work in progress by Ph.D. students, and experience reports from practitioners. Please indicate clearly which of the three categories of papers your submission belongs to. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICEIS web site. Postscript/RTF versions of the manuscript should be submitted thru ICEIS web-based paper submission procedure. In addition, an email must be sent to all workshop chairs including: title, authors' affiliation, and an abstract of the paper submitted.

Format of the Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a stimulating event for EIS researchers. The workshop will be organised as a combination of invited talks, discussions and oral presentations of previously submitted papers.

Workshop Proceedings
All accepted papers will be published in a workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press. The proceedings will be available at the time of the workshop.
