A Message From the Editor-in-Chief

It is my pleasure to present the second issue of the Journal of Integrated Enterprise Systems (JIES), a journal associated with Microsoft Dynamic Academic Alliance (DYNAA). First, I would like to express my appreciation to Kate Hasbargen, Program Lead of DYNAA. Secondly, I would like to thank Ashley Pecoraro, Jane Birkegaard Thomsen, and Lyndsey Creamer from DYNAA for their frequent help. On the academic side, I would like to thank Carol Mannion, the chair of advisory committee, for her outstanding leadership. I also would like to thank all members of the advisory council, especially Joann Segovia (the associate editor), Barry Floyd (the associate editor), and Kuo Lane Chen (the managing editor) for their constructive suggestions. Through their help, the editorial process became easier and smoother. Lastly, I want to thank the authors and reviewers for their persistent hard work for these papers/reviews for the manuscripts. I know that it was a lot of hard work, but it was well worth it.
