In this assignment our task is to identify and discuss barriers in our company’s IS/IT implementation.
We all know that all things made here has its positive and negative effect like IS/IT ;it is useful to everyone specially to a business world but then it has some point that has negative effect.
In our discussion ,we have already tackled the IS/IT and its importance to the company. It is implemented to lessen the work of peopleware, reliable data documentation, accessing to net and their network in every department , flexible monitoring beyond the company. But then there are many barriers in implementing these.
As we have interviewed our adopt company .They state it is not a barriers thus, it is a challenge.
In EMCOR ,they implemented there IS/IT in a process.They used IS/IT for many years already and time goes by while IT world is evolving EMCOR joined the flow if necessary to endure their success.
Since company has a big plans for the future and plan for many branches soon they adopt a IS/IT that a big capacity to serve the company’s future plans.
Some IT/IS barriers :
Lack of adequate financial support
Financial pressures are a powerful limitation on capital investment in information technology. The top three IT implementation barriers cited by 2001 survey respondents are lack of adequate financial support for IT (21%), difficulty proving IT quantifiable benefits/ROI (15%), and vendors’ inability to effectively deliver product or service to respondents’ satisfaction (14%). Although it is still a top concern, difficulty in proving ROI has decreased in significance from 22% last year.
Accessing capital and demonstrating return-on-investment are not the only challenges. While recruiting and retaining high-quality IT staff was mentioned, staffing concerns dropped for the second year in a row; only 6% of respondents cited it as a barrier, compared to 15% in 2000, and 23% in 1999.
According to the report, the major challenges facing Web services projects, and the percentage of IT execs who cite each one as their primary concern, include:
- 1. Inexperience in architecting Web services (19.4%);
- 2. Changing internal organizational culture to embrace Web services (18.5%);
- 3. Multiple standards for implementation (also 18.5%);
- 4. No perceived business case for Web services (14.6); and
- 5. The difficulty of managing relationships with other organizations (6.8%).
There are numerous definitions of Web services, which has led to some confusion among IT executives. Loosely defined, Web services allow enterprises to knit together various business information and applications, both in-house and with outside partners, by using standards for integration such as XML, SOAP, and UDDI. Web services are considered a relatively inexpensive way to derive more value from previous IT investments by improving workflow and business efficiency - a major draw in the current economic climate.
Barriers before implementing IT/IS in EMCOR:
Time
planning and discussing well for the positive and negative effect for the implementation .The effects of these things that the company should have in the future years. Training
Having new IS/IT, there should be trained personnel or a peopleware to handle IS/IT. implementation. It takes many training to be able to do such task. Cost
There should be a budget in implementing new IS/IT. Company should be prepare for the budgets and the used of its IS/IT for them success. Planning
They should plan what to do with their network .If they mis planning ,their business would be failed .Example If they use big servers for a little purposes could cause much problem to a company and the cost of that servers is much than theire income.
These are some of the barriers that company should analyze before they implement IS/IT in there company . It should be planned well Business Case be planned well .
