Enterprise Information systems implementation is one of the most challenging parts of IT strategy for an organization, since implementation brings in efficiency in the system and justifies the investments made. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to study the perspectives of implementation to understand the current dynamics. The purpose of this paper is twofold, first is to explore the type of literature that exists in information system implementation and secondly to determine the research methodologies incorporated therein for the information system field's implementation in specific. The basic content analysis is done to review the articles on information system implementation. A total of 47 articles were selected from peer reviewed journals and conferences. The study was conducted to assess the methodology used, the strategies followed along with the issues and challenges faced in the implementation. It presents an arena of the studies done in information system implementation in past 20 years (typically 1993 to 2013). The IMPLEMENT framework has been proposed to synthesize the literature finding for smooth functioning of IS implementation process. The factors influencing the adoption of information system innovation are described. The comprehensive framework for information innovation process is developed. This framework is then mapped to IMPLEMENT framework. This study would encourage the practitioners in the information systems domain to improve upon their organizational capability and incorporate other best practices.

The article considers the problem of damage evaluation in case of failure of the information system. There have been analyzed the practical methods of assessing damage. It has been stated that the methods can reveal the dependence of the damage on the downtime of the information system, but they are unable to evaluate reputation, administrative or any other consequences. An algorithm is proposed by which specialists can conduct a comparative assessment of damage in case of failure of various information systems using expert information. Applying the proposed algorithm to different information systems, it is possible to determine the most critical systems and, on this basis, effectively plan operational impacts to increase the level of service availability.

The integration of enterprise systems and the supply chain to an organization is becoming more critical in an ever-changing, globally competitive environment. Quick response will require close relationships, especially communications and information sharing among integrated internal functional groups as well as the suppliers and customers of an organization. Texas Instruments (TI), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has come to realize this requirement for building and maintaining its competitive edge. Thus, it sought to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with a focus on linking it with a global electronic commerce (e-commerce) setting, an innovative and current issue (Weston, 2003). There were a number of major players, including project management direction from Andersen Consulting Services, software vendors such as SAP and i2 Technologies, hardware vendors such as Sun Microsystems, and various suppliers and customers of TI. The purpose of this case is to provide some aspects of implementation of strategic systems that provide valuable lessons for success. We begin and rely on the foundation of a strategic systems implementation model, which is initially described. A description of the case follows, with the various stages as related to strategic systems implementation described. We complete our discussion with implications and conclusions.

This paper presents a case study of an information system implementation. The system, a computerized student record system, was introduced into a small university when the university opened. Unlike many other case studies of systems implementation, there was no existing system to replace, thus it was expected that there would be little resistance to the system. Successful implementation was anticipated, particularly as the systems designers were also the primary users. An evaluation of the system shows this was not the case. Two groups of users are identified, one pleased with the system, the other dissatisfied. The secondary users did not display their dissatisfaction with the system by resistance, however. They used the system frequently, but were denied the full access they required to do their jobs. Ostensibly due to technical limitations of the system, the primary users acted as gatekeepers. An examination of the culture and management structure of the university reveals strong political motivations for the primary users to exert power over the secondary users. Markus’s (1983) interpretation of interaction theory is used to discuss the political implications of the system design. It is concluded that senior management must be aware of the importance of information systems to their organizations, and understand the potential for designers to use these systems as sources of power. The case study is reconstructed from the author’s experiences as a staff member at the university during the system implementation, initially as a primary user of the system (but not an active member of the system design team), and later as a secondary user. The case is evaluated from the perspective of both user groups, using a framework derived from the literature on information systems failure and successful systems implementation.

This chapter presents a case study of an overview of the efforts of Texas Instrument’s (TI’s) internal and external ERP implementation, with a focus on linking its ERP system in a global e-commerce setting. This linkage is especially important since it had been stated in TI’s strategic plan as an objective of this project to provide visibility of the ERP system to external constituents via Web linkages along with the objective of standardizing internal processes and important information technology systems to support market needs. Thus, its ERP system is central to managing its supply chain and B2B e-commerce linkages from both a customer and supplier perspective. Issues faced by TI are clearly outlined with future questions also posed in the final section.

Enterprise information system is based on the condition of the computer network technology information platform. It has an important value for enterprises to enhance its brand influence, enhance customer management, promote the development of e-commerce processes, promote enterprise management level, adapt to the current situation of information and other aspects of economic development. There are some problems in the current enterprise information system construction. The current information system should make scientific plan, expand information systems development space, play a catalytic role in the government promote, emphasis on information security, strengthen of human resources and team building starting implementation of enterprise information systems building strategy.

At the present time the implementation of building projects is impossible without using information technology. This process can be divided into 4 stages: 1) planning and constructing, 2) getting permissions, 3) building preparations, and 4) building peformance. Roughly speaking, decomposition of building activities includes two main spheres: technical and economic. Building enterprise information systems are open dynamic systems. They consist of active elements connected by material supply quantities. They also include elements showing their relations to the environment and to the client. When arranging this system, one must have in mind that the implementation of a building order should follow contract agreements with the aim of getting profit. Therefore all the deviations from guiding quantities should be avoided by compensating them. A developed building enterprise information system implies this regulating property. In this case, it is referred as cybernetic system. Contrary to the building site information systems oriented to the present time, the novelty of the new decomposition consists in that it does not deal with a pure control system and a model possessing partial systems, but with a building enterprise information system developed following modern methods of building enterprise as well as economic sciences and intended for achieving completeness and transparency. It ensures a reliable information pertaining to an important building process and permits to make timely decisions.
