Practitioner Track

Track Description
The information systems discipline seeks to create and share academically rigorous and practically relevant knowledge to professionals in the IT industry in supporting their efforts to deliver impactful technology solutions to organizations. The IT industry track at ICIS 2020 aims to bridge the research-practice gap drawing the attention of researchers to industry relevant challenges and that of practitioners to actionable research findings.

The IT Industry Track is unique to ICIS 2020 to be held at Hyderabad, a reflection of the prominence that India as a country has achieved in the world’s IT industry. India’s success as a global software exporter has often been attributed to the industry’s visionary leadership; readily available capable human resources; the design of the outsourcing, offshoring, global delivery model; and more recently, the shift from the pure services models to lean and agile product-centric digital-focused business models.
