IS research should be both theoretically based and relevant to practice. We challenge theinformation systems community to develop and utilize new research methods and paradigms that will help us improve not only IS theories, but also the contribution of IS research to business practice. To accomplish this dual goal of contributing to both theory and practice, which can at least in part be realized by more emphasis on the use of engineering and architecture as reference disciplines, we propose a new framework, the DAGS framework, which advocates the use of design science (D), action research (A), grounded theory (G), and systems development (S) in combination -- a multi-methodological approach -- as research methodologies.
