In 2001, two promising and perhaps even future minded young researchers wrote a paper about the managerial impact of integrated information systems. The paper presented 11 predictions about the ways how increased automation of operations and reporting will change managerial work and decision making. In the current paper, approximately 16 years after the original paper was written, I shall revisit and test 5 predictions, by comparing them with the realities of contemporary university management. University management is selected, because both authors of the original paper have done considerable amounts of empirical data collection in this context. The key conclusions are, that all five predictions have already started to become reality in universities, but the original predictions had a slight positive bias: new technology does not only assist managers, it also brings additional challenges. This is, however, only one study carried out in one university and therefore more research is needed to validate its findings and conclusions.
