essence of the computer system and the processes by which it is constructed. There has not been a tradition for considering these computer systems in the pragmatic contexts in which they are brought into use. We assume that for some computer systems the c

\par The purpose of our paper is to }{\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid5778213\charrsid5778213 characterize}{\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid5778213\charrsid5778213  information services from a socio-technical point of view empha
sizing how configurations of people and computer artifacts interact to support work, communication, and decision-making inside organizations and across organizational boundaries. We suggest that information services distinguish themselves from, but are in
t
rinsically related to business services and software services. ÌÇÐÄTV services (e.g. related to transactions and investments within the financial sector) are provided through business processes enabled by information services (e.g. about accounts, trans
a
ctions and investment options). Information services are in turn enabled by software services provided through computational processes, e.g. to support human-computer interaction, retrieve data, or calculate results. Information services are hence enacted
 to enable business services to customers supported by different forms of software services and other forms of IT artifacts. As a special case, business services within certain industries (e.g. news and media) are themselves information services.

 of how diverse information services can support decision making in organizations is based on the following five propositions highlighting the need for information services to adapt to the uncertainty and equivocality of decisions they take and 
on the distinction between decision making supported by technologically mediated encounters versus relationships. Developing a contingency theory for information management support we argue in Proposition 4 and 5 for specific configuration of information 
services depending on the uncertainty and equivocality profile.

omers and employees. Information about transactions, accounts, customers, and financial advisors is readily available and unequivocal.

 adapting standardized patterns of information processing to specific work contexts. Adaptive services rely on relationships and allow the involved actors to explore and debate interpretations during task execution. In tasks with many actors involved, une
x
pected combinations of events can make it necessary to negotiate interpretations before making local decisions. An example of an adaptive service is the negotiation of grocery deliveries at Tesco.com, an advanced UK on-line grocery store. The standard tas
k
 of ordering groceries involves customers ordering from the website, paying for it with a credit card, and choosing delivery date and time. This normally implies using a computational service, but in several instances, the customer may instead evoke an ad
a
ptive service. For example, discrepancies between the items ordered on the Internet and those delivered to the door - caused by stock shortage or human error when picking goods - require negotiations to take place between the customer and the delivery per
son or between the customer and an employee at a telephone call-centre. The increased equivocality requires the delivery van driver to negotiate preferences to ascertain if the customer wishes to accept the items or receive a refund.

p actors produce information about phenomena in an organization and its environment by following standardized and repeatable patterns of information processing. Networking services rely on encounters and they typically connect actors to relevant informati
o
n sources through IT artifacts such as email systems, search engines, electronic libraries, mobile phones, and SMS messaging. These technologies offer readily available support by providing users with immediate access to relevant information sources. A si
mple search on Google offers a networking service in which a search term generates a list of ranked results according to the Google index.

nvironment through interpretation of the specific work context. Collaborative services rely on relationships. The use of a networking service such as forwarding a simple and standardized inquiry on the telephone, for example about the account code for a p
r
oject, may indeed turn out to be a much more equivocal task of debating practices for assigning account codes to projects. This equivocality implies engaging a relationship service to produce additional information by, e.g., searching the corporate intran
e
t, exchanging individual documents as email attachments, and negotiating possible new principles for assigning account codes to projects. Platforms such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange Server offer the ability to set up collaborative services with s
hared workspaces, coordination mechanisms, and mutual awareness of ongoing activities.
\par Considering the individual information service as an artefact standardising aspects of information management and decision-making, we can ask ourselves what exactly the four types of information services standardize?

of each situation must be taken into account as they become clear. Still, information-processing requirements are, on a generic level, stable. It is therefore possible to provide IT-based support by standardizing the information involved in executing task
s. While computational services standardize both information and process, adaptive services mainly }{\ul\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid5778213\charrsid5778213 standardize information}{\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid5778213\charrsid5778213
