Wait…don’t we already know everything about Enterprise Systems adoption?  Why would I want to submit a paper by March 1st, 2012 to the Enterprise Systems Adoption and Business Models track (Call for Papers here) at AMCIS 2012 in Seattle?

Because Enterprise Systems are entering a dramatically new phase of cloud-deployment, software-as-a-service, and open technologies that are much more deeply connected to the outside world.  The traditional problem of matching complex enterprise system to complex organizations is being transformed by new options that transcend or supplement the usual SAP and Oracle offerings.  It’s an exciting time to re-open the traditional adoption and implementation questions, with an eye towards a future of fundamentally different Enterprise Systems business models that could change everything.

So don’t miss out.  Check out our Call for Papers, and consider this range of possible topics.  Questions?  Ask me, or any of our fine co-chairs.
