Although the implementation of an NGN seems to be merely a modification of the network infrastructure, it may trigger or require changes in the whole company and even influence the company strategy. To capture the effects of NGN we propose a framework based on concepts of business engineering and technical recommendations for the introduction of NGN technology. The specific design of solutions for the layers "Strategy", "Processes" and "Information Systems" as well as their interdependencies are an essential characteristic of the developed framework. We have per-formed a case study on NGN implementation and observed that all layers captured by our framework are influenced by the introduction of an NGN.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CzarneckiWinkelmannSpiliopoulou2011, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Winkelmann, Axel and Spiliopoulou, Myra}, title = {Making business systems in the telecommunication industry more customer-oriented}, series = {Information Systems Development : Business Systems and Services: Modeling and Development}, booktitle = {Information Systems Development : Business Systems and Services: Modeling and Development}, editor = {Pokorny, Jaroslav and Repa, Vaclav and Richta, Karel and Wojtkowski, Wita and Linger, Henry and Barry, Chris and Lang, Michael}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4419-9645-9 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-1-4419-9790-6_14}, pages = {169 -- 180}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Market changes have forced telecommunication companies to transform their business. Increased competition, short innovation cycles, changed usage patterns, increased customer expectations and cost reduction are the main drivers. Our objective is to analyze to what extend transformation projects have improved the orientation towards the end-customers. Therefore, we selected 38 real-life case studies that are dealing with customer orientation. Our analysis is based on a telecommunication-specific framework that aligns strategy, business processes and information systems. The result of our analysis shows the following: transformation projects that aim to improve the customer orientation are combined with clear goals on costs and revenue of the enterprise. These projects are usually directly linked to the customer touch points, but also to the development and provisioning of products. Furthermore, the analysis shows that customer orientation is not the sole trigger for transformation. There is no one-fits-all solution; rather, improved customer orientation needs aligned changes of business processes as well as information systems related to different parts of the company.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CzarneckiWinkelmannSpiliopoulou2012, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Winkelmann, Axel and Spiliopoulou, Myra}, title = {Transformation in Telecommunication - Analyse und Clustering von Real-life Projekten}, series = {Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2012}, booktitle = {Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2012}, editor = {Mattfeld, Dirk Christian and Robra-Bissantz, Susanne}, publisher = {Gito}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {9783942183635}, pages = {985 -- 998}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Die Ver{\"a}nderungen des Telekommunikationsmarktes haben in der Praxis zu einer Vielzahl von Transformationsprojekten gef{\"u}hrt.
