Research

We conduct research on various aspects of transformations.

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is a dynamic field in information systems research that focuses on the integration of digital technologies (mostly) into organizations. We explore how innovative technologies like lightweight technologies, cloud computing, big data analytics, AI, and IoT can reshape business processes, decision-making, and value creation. This research area investigates the challenges, opportunities, and social impacts of digital transformation, aiming to guide organizations in leveraging these technologies for innovation and competitive advantage.

Lightweight Technologies

Lightweight IT is an emerging research area that emphasizes agile and flexible IT solutions. It explores the effective integration and management of lightweight technologies, such as Robotic Process Automation. Specifically, in the context of lightweight IT governance, we examine the frameworks and practices that enable organizations to govern these initiatives while addressing key concerns such as data security, privacy, compliance, and risk management. This research area aims to optimize value and ensure alignment with business goals by striking a balance between agility and effective governance.

Business Process Automation and Mining

Business Process Automation and Mining is a research area focused on enhancing business processes through automation and data analysis. It involves using technology like robotic process automation (RPA) and workflow management systems to streamline tasks. Process mining techniques analyze process behaviors to gain insights and improve efficiency. This research aims to especially provide practical guidance for optimizing and managing business processes.

We are constantly looking for industrial cooperations. If you are interested in joining forces and participating in a research project on one of these or related areas, feel free to contact us.
