History

edit

The journal is the English language successor of wirtschaftsinformatik, which was the flagship journal of the German-language information systems community for more than 50 years. The German journal Elektronische Datenverarbeitung, published since 1959, was renamed Angewandte Informatik in 1971 and again in Wirtschaftsinformatik in 1989, with the first issue published in 1990. To expand its reach in Europe and internationally, and to better reach its international scientific community, Wirtschaftsinformatik was published in a cover-to-cover English translation under the title Business & Information Systems Engineering since issue 1/2009. The strategic decision to better address the international community led to the termination of the German version with issue 6/2014; from issue 1/2015 onwards only the English journal remains.
