For this simple emulation of user input and output by software robots, no changes of the systems and architecture is required. However, considering strategic aspects of aligning business and technology on an enterprise level as well as the growing capabilities of RPA driven by artificial intelligence, interrelations between RPA and Enterprise Architecture (EA) become visible and pose new questions. In this paper we discuss the relationship between RPA and EA in terms of perspectives and implications. As workin- progress we focus on identifying new questions and research opportunities related to RPA and EA.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CzarneckiHeuserSpiliopoulou2009, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Heuser, Marcus and Spiliopoulou, Myra}, title = {How does the implementation of a next generation network influence a telecommunication company?}, series = {European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems}, booktitle = {European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems}, editor = {Irani, Zahir}, publisher = {Brunel University}, address = {London}, isbn = {9781902316697}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2009}, abstract = {As the potential of a Next Generation Network (NGN) is recognized, telecommunication companies consider switching to it. 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{Czarnecki2011, author = {Czarnecki, Christian}, title = {Gestaltung von Customer Relationship Management {\"u}ber die Grenzen von Telekommunikationsunternehmen hinweg}, series = {Tagungsband zum Doctoral Consortium der WI 2009}, booktitle = {Tagungsband zum Doctoral Consortium der WI 2009}, editor = {Eymann, Torsten}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Bayreuth Lehrstuhl f{\"u}r Wirtschaftsinformatik}, address = {Bayreuth}, issn = {1864-9300}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:703-opus-5462}, pages = {11 -- 23}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Durch die Fragmentierung von Wertsch{\"o}pfungsketten ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen f{\"u}r das Management von Kundenbeziehungen.

This article discusses the reference modeling of eTOM, i.e., the design, the resulting artifact, and its evaluation based on three project cases. The application of eTOM in three projects illustrates the design approach and concrete models on strategic and operational levels. The article follows the Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm.

The practical need of agile change and flexible organizational implementation requires a consistent mapping to an operational level.

The subject-oriented Business Process Management (sBPM) offers a modeling concept that is structured bottom-up and concentrates on the process actors on an operational level. This paper applies sBPM to the enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM), a well-accepted reference process model in the telecommunications industry.
