• Research. Faculty conduct research in four broad areas of MIS:
  • Technology Adoption and Implementation
  • Systems Analysis, Design and Development
  • Collaboration and Coordination
  • IT Management
  A list of the results of faculty research in these areas including published papers, books, white papers, working papers, and presentations is published on the CMISS web-site at <http://www.cmiss.net>. Copies of the papers are available on request.
   

• Semi-annual retreats. Retreats to share knowledge about IT issues are held in
  the Spring and Fall on the OU Campus each year. All member organizations and faculty participate in these retreats.
   

• Sharing information among members. Members discuss issues of importance to
  the IT industry during roundtable sessions at Board meetings held in the Fall and Spring and at CMISS workshops (see below). These roundtable discussions have proven to be a very valuable resource to all CMISS members. Members may contact other CMISS members through the member directory available on the CMISS website.
   

• Access to students. Students interact with CMISS members’ firms by making presentations at the retreats about topics of interest to members, field project experience, internship lessons and research projects.
   

• Workshops.* Two workshops per year on topics of interest to the CMISS membership, such as IT security, e-Business, and ERP systems to name a few, will be held on campus. These workshops typically will be delivered by faculty and industry teams experienced in these areas. Participation in these workshops is available to all CMISS members and the public. Some associations will accept our seminars and workshops for continuing professional credit. Please check with the specific association to see if you can use these activities for such credit.
   

• Seminars.* CMISS members are invited to attend all faculty seminars that are held on the OU Campus. Occasionally, visiting faculty from other institutions also offer seminars to which CMISS members are invited.
