BARRIERS on IT/IS implementation
Organizations are as alike and unique as human beings. Similarly, group processes can be as straightforward or as complex as the individuals who make up the organization. It is vital to successfully launching a new program that the leaders understand the strengths, weaknesses, and eccentricity of the organization or system in which they operate. So in an organization, it is always a must to anticipate barriers to implementation so that you can develop strategies to minimize their impact or avoid them altogether.
We already had visit number of companies for our previous assignments. Thus, giving us many opportunities to learned not just for the sake of subject compliance but also for our personal knowledge that we could acquire towards company visitation. Previously, our group have already a personal encounter with the Columbia Computer Center Davao and Davao Light Power Company. During our appointment with them, a lot of questions have been raised for them to answer. So let me identify and discuss some of their barriers on IT/IS implementation. From the prior interview we had made, the barriers for IT/IS implementation was not directly converse among us but since the risk about IS/IT change have talked about, I guess it relates to the barriers with IT/IS implementation. Since we are talking about the barriers, I would like to classify those things to several sectors that could be consider as a barrier. As what I observed, the following are the classifications of barriers during the IS/IT implementation of every company. The human resource quandary, communication problems, operational, technical, environmental, financial, hardware and software difficulties. These are just few of the barriers for IT/IS implementation that I would be discussing.
We could never deny the fact that when new innovations are being presented to every the employees of certain organizations, it would give a hard time for those employee to adjust and adopt with the latest technology that they will be using. They are all reluctant to accept the reality of changes. This is what we called the Human and Organizational resistance. It could really be a great barrier because as part of the organization, human resource is one thing that every company should consider. If you could not cooperate with these particular changes or innovations, you would only bring your organization to a great failure or even yourself a barrier for a successful IT/IS implementation.
Basically, if you belong to an organization, communication with each other is solely significant. You should work as one team and always establish a team work in order to address the needs with IT/IS implementation. So if you lack of communication and interaction, this would become a barrier towards a great plan for IT/IS implementation.
In technical point of view, the need for modern information systems resources are one thing that an organization should consider in IT/IS implementation. So if an organization have limited resources this would result to a failure of IT/IS implementation, developing and the implementation of the system may be inefficient than expected.
Lack of expertise between the people in your organization with the information being process could also be a barrier. A general lack of education and information about both technology and programs is such a problem. Considering that the people have limited organizational intelligence toward the IT/IS implementation, a lot of obstacle would be an outcome.
Also in developing systems, data collection and data management is the most complex part in the entire process of IT/IS implementation, leaving an impression that this could be a barrier. It is the most complicated yet important piece for an IT/IS implementation because it let us know about the whole system, what it is all about and what is it scope and limitations. Since we are talking about limitations, the problem about time could be an issue. The situation of having a limited time for IT/IS implementation could affect the developing process and the output of the system itself. Also the time factor for limited collection and updating of the information for the method of completion. This sometimes indicates the unrealistic time frames that every system is considering.
Talking about this whole thing of IT/IS implementation, we would always consider the financial aspect that we would be encountering in the entire process. These include budget restrictions limiting the overall expenditure on the strategy, financial restrictions on specific hardware and software, and limitations on the flexibility with which revenues can be used to finance the full range of IT/IS implementation. It is always a barrier for it gives us a channel to acquire certain resources that an organization needs.
If we would have a limited resources as what I have discussed a while ago, the monetary capabilities of an organization would become a barrier. If the organization could not secure a sufficient funding for such project implementation, it would closely end up to a very regretting decision for the organization to develop a new system. When we are talking about the funds and cost of the implementation, the strategic planning would also be a factor. If certain organization lacks of current information for planning and developing these technology, it would be just waste of time and effort for them to come up with new ideas in IT/IS implementation.
Since planning have been mentioned, all organizations have always a goal and purpose for setting up the idea of presenting a new system to be develop and implemented. Then, if in the first place their goals are too ambitious for the resources that are available within them, the planning is still useless. In an organization, the conflict between employees are always present. Especially if you have a partnership with other companies. Unclear goals and purposes would always be a barrier.
The overlapping missions among the involved organizations is such a difficult thing to mull over. So far the public or private partnerships between organization have proved to be unsuccessful. Lets discuss about the hardware and software difficulties that we could encounter during IT/IS implementation. If the availability of the said hardware and software doesn’t meet the desire equipments, it would directly came up with an idea of failure of implementation and development of the system. The lack of step by step procedure within the organization is such a problem that would always been taking care of so that it would not be a barrier for the preparation of the enhancement of their IS.
