    Classification of failure factors in information systems
    (2015) Perera, H. S. C; Gunawardhana, D. N. T
    Failure rate of Information Systems have rapidly increased in different aspects due to different reasons. Although above situation is not a new sight in the field of Information System, it creates many obstacles to regular activities of any organization. The failure of Information System has become a common state for any organization or industry and not depending on their rank or status. Numerous factors may have affected for Information System Failures and these factors are functioning together or individually to create the failure situation of Information Systems. The objective of this paper is to identify the main failure factors in the Information Systems. An in-depth review of the existing literature has been done to meet the objective of this study. Multidisciplinary studies across different countries, industries and areas have taken into account for identifying the main failure factors of Information Systems. This paper is presented to focus the main failure factors that affected for Information System failures based on literature; environment, quality control, human related, technology related and other connected factors. It can be mainly divided into two parts. They are conceptual factors and background factors or hard factors and soft factors. User participation, participant behavior, user satisfaction, attitudes and expectation level, and the management of organization, infrastructure facilities and pattern of usage play a crucial role in the field of Information Systems that have been identified as background factors with significant impact on Information System failures. Quality failure, project failure, system failure, management failure and software failure identified as conceptual failure factors.

    A study of the usage of information systems in higher education: An exploratory review
    (International Journal of Advanced Studies in Computers, Science and Engineering, 2015-04-01) Gunawardhana, D. N. T; Perera, H. S. C
    Since Information Systems have become an essential requirement in every field it is important to scrutinize the behavior of information system in higher education sectors. Failure rates of Information Systems are being increasing among all sectors than success rates mostly in developing countries when considering the past research of Information System Development. Importance and application of Information Systems in higher education sectors have been taken considerable weight when making decisions to implement or purchase an Information System to academic institutions. This article aims to provide a brief discussion and clear direction regarding practices of information Systems in higher education sectors. Higher education institutions and universities around the world have been developed Information Systems to manage academic, nonacademic and administrative processes according to literature. An in-depth review of the existing literature has been done to meet the objective of this study. A variety of studies across several different countries and academic industries have been taken into account for identifying the effect of Information System in higher education. Hopefully, this article will add some additional information to the decision makers of Information Systems to make the system more viable and also achieve correct decisions to implement in the Information Systems.
