| Abstract | This paper recognises the challenges faced by the Sri Lankan organisations in light of the
global trend towards free economy. It argues that the organisations should make use of
the opportunities made available by the rapid advancement of information technology to
enhance the competitiveness. Most of the enterprises which made an attempt towards this
have not realised the expected benefits of implementing IS. Main reason for this begin
the lack of understanding of the factors which influence the successfulness of IS
implementation. Hence main objective of the research is to identifj; the factors which
have positive influence on IS implementation success.
The study involved two detailed case analysis of recently implemented IS projects. Two
projects are assessed using a model based on the assumption that IS is basically
providing service to customer, who are the internal and external users of the system. The
implementation processes of the cases were investigated using personal recollections of
the people who involved in implementation. By integrating assessment of IS and
investigation of implementation processes several success factors were extracted. Based
on the findings recommendations are made to successfully implement and maintain an IS
in business organisation. |
