Abstract: The paper presents an approach to the evaluation of information systems based on the concept of information systems actability, which is suggested as an important alternative way to understand the role and pragmatic use of ITsystems within organizations. The results, empirically informed by two case studies, show that the suggested approach can effectively be used to direct evaluators attention to important aspects of an IT-system related to the social actions performed by its use within a business context.
