Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 entails huge investments into developing mega-projects. The Neom Project is totally different from any other urban project in the world. Right now, it is under construction. Neom is the first independent special area spread over three countries: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan. This paper proposes a model of the critical success factors (CSFs) for the Neom Project in the context of a project management information system (PMIS). The researcher used case study analysis as the research methodology to develop the model. A total of four CSFs were identified from the four case studies.

This research aimed to identify critical success factors in the implementation of EGovernment based on employee management information system in the Bureau of Public Affairs at the Regional Secretariat of West Java Province. Employee management information system is a process on managing information through the use of available resources within the organization. The formulation of the problem in this study is in its implementation in which various kinds of obstacles were found such as the difficulties in operating digital-based information system applications by each employee, also the inaccuracy of available data in information system. Qualitative method was used in this research by collecting data through literature review study, field research and interviewing four informants. They were the Head of the Public Affairs Bureau at the Regional Secretariat of West Java Province, the Head of Household Administration and Staffing, the administrator staff for management information system and a civil servant within the General Affairs Bureau. The research shows that the implementation of employee management information system based on e-government in the Bureau of Public Affairs at the Regional Secretariat of West Java province is not optimal because it has not been supported by competent human resources in the implementation of technology-based management information system therefore data accuracy is difficult to be achieved.  


Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) was a proficient tool to improve the quality of care by increasing the services effectiveness and efficiency in hospital. Unfortunately, the utilization of HMIS in developing countries was yet to be maximized when compared to that in developed countries. This study aimed to identify the critical success factor in implementing HMIS through SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis. SWOT analysis is a powerful approach for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of an entity from internal perspective, as well as the opportunities and threats from external perspective. The analysis showed that HMIS have the ability to provide more accurate data, timely available, faster documentation retrieval compared to paper-based system, and those considered as the HMIS implementation strengths. Competition in the hospital industry and government policies open the opportunity for immediate implementation of HMIS. Despite the benefits from implementing HMIS, the transition from the old to the new system has been rather slow. The hospital readiness from extra funding need, lack of skilled personnel, inadequate infrastructure to support system were a form of HMIS implementation weaknesses. External factors such as existing culture, technologies providers which underestimated healthcare complexity, also lack of communication and collaboration across organization became an obstacle that threatens HMIS implementation.

Department of IT M&T PT. Pertamina UPMS V Surabaya has currently implemented a management guideline based on COBIT 5.0 to support the process of monitoring and scheduling projects that will be implemented or currently being worked on PT. Pertamina UPMS V Surabaya. But in the process of implementing management guidelines, the department of IT M&T has not maximized the implementation of the monitoring and scheduling because it does not yet have a project management information system application. So far employees from the department of IT M&T use the process of monitoring and scheduling projects manually, namely by making a report in the form of an excel file for each progress of the projects. Of course, this is considered inefficient and often encounters human errors. Therefore, a web-based project management information system application was made, the application was built using the C3 programming language and Microsoft SQL Server database. Based on observation, it was concluding that the features available in the project management information system application had been running well and were able to meet the needs of users.

A project management information system (PMIS) reports project cost and schedule information. Between 2006 and 2007 Pembina Pipeline Corporation’s Engineering Department saw the number of projects it managed leap from 89 to 147, an increase of 65%. Project managers found that their ability to report project information was being strained. This paper chronicles Pembina’s efforts in developing a PMIS to respond to the challenge.

Focus areas for a management information system for top, middle and lower level management in a financial institution. This research project was conducted at one of South Africa's major banks. This bank has a client base of approximately five million clients and approximately eight million active accounts. Since the term 'Management Information Systems' was relatively new to this bank, the purpose of this project was to do a critical evaluation of the existing management information system. This was done by means of a questionnaire to top, middle and lower level management in the bank. These data were processed by making use of stepwise linear regression as well as all possible subset multiple linear regression methods. A number of critical success factors were identified and prioritized for each of four subsets of the population. These subsets are the following: top and middle management; regions; operational management; and all users of the information system. A number of recommendations were made for establishing an improved service provided by the systems development team.
