why do you think IS/IT Systems fail?
There are so many factors on why information systems fail. But let me define first what an information system is. For me, information system is a blending of software, hardware, peopleware and communication technology that is used to manage or handle informations related to a company or business.
For me, there are lots of reasons on why Information Systems fail.
1. Unclear requirements ~ this is one of the real reasons on why IS fail, the team should be well informed or they should understand the objectives/ goals of their project. Goals provide direction that will make the project successful.
2. Lack of good preparation (proper time and cost estimate)
3. Lack of administration support.
4. The system doesn’t reach the goals/objectives of the project.
5. The system doesn’t satisfy the needs of the organization.
6. Unskilled staff ~ information systems doesn’t end in just introducing it to the company but it should be well implemented and monitored from time to time, without competitive staff that can handle problems on the system, then it will be a failure.
7. Lack of Unity or teamwork ~ this can be solved through good communication between the team and the administration.
8. Lack of resources/ budget.

An information system plays a vital role in a business. It will administer and will influence a business’ procedures in its entire sector. It can change the way the business operates and it aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization that will result to the company’s progress and development.special thanks to:
