Technical Integration

The challenges of information systems (IS) development have changed significantly in the past 15 years. From a situation where the main problem was to build stable systems based on a requirements specification, the IS project manager now faces challenges of integration; for example: how to integrate a new information system into large existing information infrastructures and unstable business processes? Building on a socio-technical perspective, four types of integration were identified and analyzed: external and internal stakeholder integration, and internal and external technical integration. A longitudinal case study of an e-business development project in the airline industry identified and highlighted some managerial challenges of integration. Findings include: Internal technical and (to some extent) stakeholder integration is well supported by traditional project management techniques and software engineering frameworks, such as the Rational Unified Process (RUP). However, the challenges of external stakeholder and technical integration is underrated in IS development research, and not well supported in RUP.

Evaluation And Monitoring

This chapter examines the causes of failure in a Web-based information system development project and finds out how complexity can lead a project towards failure. Learning from an Information System Development Project (ISDP) failure plays a key role in the long-term success of any organization desirous of continuous improvement via evaluation and monitoring of its information systems (IS) development efforts. This study reports on a seemingly simple (but only deceptively so) failed ISDP to inform the reader about the various complexities involved in ISDPs in general, and in developing countries in particular. An existing framework from contemporary research is adopted to map the complexities found in the project under study and the critical areas, which lead to the decreased reliability and failure in Web-based information system development, are highlighted.

The Stability

Many issues that have the potential to affect the success of an information system development project have been discussed in the literature. Three issues which appeared to discriminate between successful and unsuccessful projects were identified in a 1981 study by Ginzberg. The present study enhances and expands his analysis to evaluate the stability of these issues. The purpose of this updated study is to identify which issues are associated with system development success as measured by computing satisfaction. The results indicate that although some of the issues identified by Ginzberg continue to be relevant to implementation success, their character has changed somewhat. Based on the responses from six companies, end-user computing satisfaction can be explained by the extent of project definition and planning, organizational commitment, breadth of analysis, user responsibility, and commitment to change. User ownership of the system was not considered a issue in the implementation process.

Information Systems are complex systems; the development of the Information Systems according to the business needs is a very tedious and time consuming task. These business applications, whether designed to be performed as a single task or intended to be used company-wide, integrated system, must be designed specifically for the company’s unique culture, needs, objectives, and goals. Thus, the developing team must be very clear about the users, user needs, corporation goals, time frame, and financial resources allocated to the to the development project. While the Information Systems are to be using the most advanced development tools and methodology, it must be simple for the users to understand, comprehend, and use they should be capable of performing all the functions necessary to perform a tasks efficiently. While the software should be comprehensive and state of the art, it should not be unduly cumbersome. Careful attention must be given during the development process that the software system should be both functional and efficient; one must remember that an Information System is actually a combination of various software systems which are self-contained top perform specific activities on one hand and to be able to interact and perform effectively with the other software systems. Combined, these software systems become the Information System.
