The development of analytical information systems differs from the development of transaction-oriented systems. Specific method support is particularly needed for requirements engineering. The paper at hand evaluates the state of the art in information requirements analysis and identifies areas for further research. From a practice perspective, a need for further research on information requirements elicitation, validation, and management can be identified. Furthermore, in order to ensure the ongoing elicitation, documentation, and management of information requirements, more effort has to be invested into the development of a continuous requirements process perspective.
