I have decided to look into three different businesses and recommended platforms tailored to their specific needs.

Unravelling the Challenges: Why Companies Struggle with Information Systems Implementation

 Hey everyone!!!👋 hope your having a good day

 In this post I will be discussing about how in today's fast-paced business environment, the effective use of information systems is critical for maintaining competitiveness and ensuring smooth operations. However, despite the undeniable benefits of integrating Information systems into the company, many companies still face significant challenges when it comes to implementing information systems successfully which may put them off spending time and money into integrating new information systems.




I have seen first-hand why companies struggle to implement
new information systems from my work placement. During my work placement in Fitzgerald Power, they were trying to implement a new project management software called Click Up. Ultimately this software failed and the company decided to not continue to try implement it into the company. From my perspective the company struggle with implementation for a number of reasons such as Resistance to Change from employees,
Underestimating Time and Resources, Cost Overruns, inadequate training, and poor planning.

I saw first-hand that the majority of the people inside the workplace resisted to help integrate the new system. The employees were complaining about it being a waste of time, complain that it was more work for them and complain about not being able to use the software or understand it from the inadequate training they received.

I also saw the time and resources being put into this new system as I spent a good chunk of my week from work placement implementing this new system and I was an admin so I could see the bills the company was receiving from the software owners. I believe the project manager underestimated how much time and money would have to put into setting up the new system and how much it would cost to implement the new system.

Overall, I believe the Implementation of the new information system failed due to poor management as the software did not make the company more efficient and did not fit the needs of the company and the use they thought it would bring to the company. These are just a few of the challenges faced by companies implementing a new system.

Let me know if you have ever gone through the process of learning a new system a company has implemented and how you reacted to it.
