Abstract
In a digital networked economy companies rely increasingly on software systems to collaborate with partner companies, to provide services to their customers and overall to achieve their business goals. While this trend has been around for years, it continues to have implications on the way software systems are designed and developed, as well as on the business models companies are based on. On the other hand, software technology provides new opportunities for companies and new methods of doing business. This paper investigates the relationship between recent achievements in software, information systems, and process technology on the one hand and the new opportunities facilitated by these technologies on the other. To provide one step forward towards understanding this relationship, this paper discusses recent trends and technologies in software, information systems and process technology. Rather than focusing on the technical details of these domains, the fundamental concepts and the new opportunities are discussed.
The authors are grateful to Hilmar Schuschel for contributing the subsection on automated process planning.
