    The digitization of the economy and society requires enterprises from all industries to revisit their business models and prepare their organizations for the digital age. The design of "smart" products and services, the involvement of prosumers, and the intensifying interconnection of supply chains are signs of this transformation. Each of these scenarios builds on improved availability and interchangeability of data. In order to successfully transform their business and be able to develop valuable new services, companies require methodological help. To address this need, this paper proposes a service-capability design framework for digital businesses. The framework is developed theoretically based on the literature and earlier research and consists of a meta-model and a high-level reference model. The framework is retroactively applied to a real-world digital use case to demonstrate its validity.

    Business models comprehensively describe the functioning of businesses in contemporary economic, technological, and societal environments. This paper focuses on the characteristics of digital business models from the perspective of capability research and develops a capability model for digital businesses. Following the design science research (DSR) methodology, multiple evaluation and design iterations were performed. Contributions to the design process came from IS/IT practice and the research base on business models and capabilities.

    Buzzwords like big data, the Internet of Things, mobile computing, or Industry 4.0 all build on the conviction that the importance of data and information will keep growing both for businesses and for society as a whole. Data management departments need to revise their existing architectures and processes to get ready for the new require-ments, for example regarding data availability, data integration, and data credibility. The report builds on insights collected from the CC CDQ workshops and bilateral pro-jects taking place in 2014. It aims at providing data managers of medium and large enterprises from all industries with useful background information and practical guid-ance for their journey towards the digital economy. More precisely, the report - contributes to a common understanding of the major technological, economic and social drivers behind the evolution of the "digital economy", - specifies the implications the digital economy has on data management re-quirements, - shows how companies react to these new requirements in five short exemplary cases, - presents a business and data management capability framework for companies operating in the digital economy, and - describes a possible roadmap for data managers to follow on their company's journey towards digitization.
