BUYERS

profitability of your business.

they want to send their kids to our kindergarten center, or they will go to
other kindergartens.

value created will increase. So with that, we can gain higher profit.

Top 5 potential issues:
1. The selection problem. Say a company has decided for many reasons to launch a managerial information system implementation project. The very first question that managers will face is what type, size, and scope of the future system they actually require and how to choose the most suitable solution among the hundreds offered on the market. There is no single answer on how to find what you need. Eventually, this selection problem will arises for all businesses without exception
2. Technical issues. How to successfully select a software package is important but not the last problem that will appear on the thorny path toward getting all of the system of software and hardware working together and bringing any value back to the company. Another set of implementation issues is related to the technical part of the project, and covers the servers and workstations to be revised and probably the new and modern ones to be ordered, purchased, and replaced. The internal network also has to be analyzed and modernized if required. If these questions are underestimated, they can dramatically impact the overall result of the project.
3. Data quality issues. This issue is particularly symptomatic of companies that are implementing IS for the first time and transferring their legacy data into the new system from Excel spreadsheets, manual records, or old disparate applications. Basically, the question is that old data that have been used and stored for years can for many reasons appear approximate or even incorrect in the new system.
4. Business philosophy changes. IS implementation brings significant changes into a company’s conventional business model and the day-to day practices it has been using for years or even decades. With the new system, information that a user enters in one screen becomes immediately available to another user; an employee’s level of responsibility is dramatically increased as it is more difficult (sometimes impossible) to fix erroneous data or typing errors; new approaches to data reporting and mining and, thus, new managerial principles and practices have to be established; and finally, real business models and business processes might require massive changes because of new real-time opportunities and data availability.
5. Psychological issues. It is really difficult to describe or classify the possible troubles in this topic, actually, any question can appear. The potential negative impact of users’ possible contrast-collaboration activities.
