MIS Assignment 5: IT/IS Barriers

{ Posted on 3:22 AM by Ariel Serenado }


Assignment 5:


Based on your adopted organization(s), identify and discuss barriers in their IS/IT implementations....

Barriers are actually circumstances particular to a given industry that create disadvantages for new competitors attempting to enter the market. These may include government regulations, economic factors, and marketing conditions.

As I review over the internet I have come to this list of common IT/IS barriers:

  • Studying the problem too long without acting
  • Trying to get everyone's agreement first
  • Educating without changing structures or expectations
  • Tackling everything at once
  • Measuring nothing or everything
  • Failing to build support for replication

More Barriers to Change

  • Lack of such resources as time and commitment
  • Resistance to change
  • Lack of senior leadership support or physician champion
  • Lack of cooperation from other agencies, providers, departments, and facilities
  • Ineffective teams
  • Burdensome data collection

In our adopted company there were also barriers of IT/IS implementation that has been identified by Hubport Interactive. Two of these barriers are:

  • Risk of loosing records

Since Hubport cater services related to Information System, within the organization they can implement systems as the case may be. Since implementing systems needs migration from the older system to the newest system there is a risk on loosing data, thus record retention of the organization is greatly affected.

  • Personnel problems

By the time the organization will implement new systems, they have to take into account the task personnel being designated to the implemented system, and they consider expertise of the personnel. Meaning to say, by the time the company changes another system another person will be designated considering the expertise of the person. With this problem also it associates rejection of the employees which generates labor relations problems.

  • Cost

Since implementing company is cost generating, it is therefore a barrier to the company on implementing information systems.

In some other sources barriers are divided into four principal barriers:

1) Legal and institutional barriers

These include lack of legal powers to implement a particular instrument, and legal responsibilities which are split between agencies, limiting the ability of the city authority to implement the affected instrument

2) Financial barriers

These include budget restrictions limiting the overall expenditure on the strategy, financial restrictions on specific instruments, and limitations on the flexibility with which revenues can be used to finance the full range of instruments.

3) Political and cultural barriers

These involve lack of political or public acceptance of an instrument, restrictions imposed bypressure groups, and cultural attributes, such as attitudes to enforcement, which influence the effectiveness of instruments.

4) Practical and technological barriers
While cities view legal, financial and political barriers as the most serious which they face in implementing land use and transport policy instruments, there may also be practical limitations. For land use and infrastructure these may well include land acquisition. For management and pricing, enforcement and administration are key issues. For infrastructure, management and information systems, engineering design and availability of technology may limit progress. Generally, lack of key skills and expertise can be a significant barrier to progress, and is aggravated by the rapid changes in the types of policy being considered.
