Technology is moving forward now, it is a way in which human develop their way of living. They try to practices new facilities and they try to engage to different way of developing their learning andapply it in their works.
There are so many aspects that can cause hindrance or barriers in implementing Information System or Information Technology. Before we discuss about how do the companies or organization comes up with those barriers, we will first define the meaning of it:
A barrier is an obstacle which prevents a given policy instrument being implemented, or limits the way in which it can be implemented. In the extreme, such barriers may lead to certain policy instruments being overlooked, and the resulting strategies being much less effective. For example, demand management measures are likely to be important in larger cities as ways of controlling the growth of congestion and improving the environment. But at the same time they are often unpopular, and cities may be tempted to reject them simply because they will be unpopular. If that decision leads in turn to greater congestion and a worse environment, the strategy will be less successful. The emphasis should therefore be on how to overcome these barriers, rather than simply how to avoid them.
I will base my discussion on two companies the GH Office Depot and the Davao Light Power Company.
These are the some Barriers I found:
Common Barriers
Studying the problem too long without acting
On GH Depot
In the case of GH they have only one IT personnel that’s why he cannot do many tasks at the same time. He cannot easily handle two different things at the same time.
On DLPC (Davao Light Power Company)
On DLPC it takes long time to study their problem when it comes to implementing IT/IS practices because the company needs a thoroughly analysis due to sensitivity of data.
Trying to get everyone's agreement first
On DLPC
The IT department of DLPC was divided into 4 that’s why they need to communicate constantly so that they can have the views and opinions of each team so that they will agree on the same idea, imagine a company without union, it will be hard for them to implement and promote new IT and IS practices.
Educating without changing structures or expectations
On GH Depot
The IT personnel says that if he develops a new software or anything that is related to IT, some of the employees will expect that it will be hard for theme to adopt it.
Tackling everything at once
On both companies, they have a briefing with their employees. These briefing can minimize the different complications they will encounter.
Measuring nothing or everything
Before implementing the different Information Technology and Information Systems practices the companies will first encounter the measuring or analyzing the right way how to implement it and measure the capacity of the services they can offer.
Assuming that the status is OK
Some times they assume that the implemented Information Technology and Information System practices are good enough to answer the needs of their employees, but the truth is it’s not enough.
More Barriers to Change
Lack of such resources as time and commitment
Due to limitation of time, the implementation of those practices can increase the problems of the companies systems. In DLPC sometimes they cannot do or practice it perfectly because they were given limited time.
Resistance to change
It’s been a long year when DLPC change there way of implementing different IT and IS practices, they resist to change because it may help the company or it may cause a problem to company’s daily transactions. But there was a time that they really need to change it, because they see that it will help. They try it first, and then they continuously develop it. Until now they are trying to develop it for better usage of their employees.
On GH Depot, they are practicing it for more than 5 years now, their IT personnel said that it a big help for them. But some of the employees would prefer to use the older way because they have grown to that way of working.
Reflection:
Due to the increasing demand of our day to day needs, and the desire of the person to ease their way of working, we IT person tries to make and develop different Information Technology and Information Systems practices so that it can help us in our day to day activities. The barriers that had been discussed are just some of the barriers that are develop and exist during the time that they are practicing the IT and IS practices that they conclude.
The better way to have good and manageable employees is to have a unity in a company. As what I have said, how could you implement the changes in a company if you cannot control your employees.
