Based on your adopted organization(s), identify and discuss barriers in their IT/IS implementation
Organization like human beings, are unique. They have their own strategies and programs that would benefit them. Also, they have their own strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. Upon the implementation of the programs and/ or systems, individuals which consists the organization meet different barriers. these individuals must anticipate the barriers and develop strategies to minimize the impact or avoid them. The lists of these barriers are a good starting point for planning session that will be most effective if it also takes into account the organization's uniqueness. (Institute for Health Improvements)

COMMON 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
* Assuming that the status quo is OK
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
SPECIFIC BARRIERS TO IT/IS IMPLEMENTATION:
* Lack of Information
- Lack of awareness of avaliable software apabilities,, benefits, and return on investment
- Technology selection, adoption, implementation, organizatonal development, strategic planning etc.
* Lack of Expertise
- Managers typically have a high-level understanding of their business operational processes but they lack employees with the experiences and skills necessary to software technologies.
* Perceptions that technologies are unaffordable
- Managers often view advanced technology as an expense rather than a strategic investment
- Managers are also apprehensive on adopting the wrong hardware and software
- Managers also fear that technology adoption can be a never-ending proces; one that causes expenses to spiral nut of controls
* Pressure to be productive
- Managers may feel tat they do not have time to experiment with the systems or to wait for the system to pay itself.
*Lack of Fit
- Commercial off-the-shelf softaware (OTS) requires companies to modify their process and procedures to fit the software.
IN THE CASE OF EMCOR:
(adopted company)
When we interviewed the Mr. Nilo Ricafort, the EDP/MIS Department Head of the said company last July 2009, we had touched a little about IT/IS Implementation. We had found some of the barriers in the company's IT/IS Implementation.
One instance he cited is: EMCOR is planning to change their system into a centralized one presumably at the end of the year. In this concept, the stores of EMCOR can have access toi the transactions to the other stores. One of the benefits in the system would be; the customer from one place could pay his accounts through the nearest EMCOR store.
However, some of the barriers they were able to meet are the following:
*Possible data loss and errors *More preparations * More time consumption * Establishment of accuracy * Possible discrepancies *Trainings of the employees * Cost *Depends on the user's acceptance

- When the user reject their proposed system,they'll not be motivated to implement the system.
