Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) is the new peer-reviewed scholarly e-journal for the entire techno-economically oriented community with a focus on design science-oriented research. It continues the 50 years` tradition of the journal WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK by that all articles appear both in English and in German. Moreover, authors benefit from our double-blind, constructive, and rapid review process. "I believe the time is opportune for IS community to provide such outlets for design researchers. BISE, however, has some unique advantages for positioning itself as an desirable outlet for design science research." Alan R. Hevner.
