When we say barriers of IT/IS implementation it mainly refers to hindrances that an individual or group may face while trying to gain proper adaptation of making use of modernized world. IT implementation most likely affects business firms especially in adaptation of IS/IT. For me, adaptation and implementation of IS/IT is a risky task to do because it may change the mode of business. Meaning to say, if the group/organization can easily adopt, implement, and adjust to the changes that they will undergo then it is a plus factor to them and it will surely contributes a lot to the growth of the organization. But if the organization takes a hard time or cannot adopt to the changes it would be a big burden to them. It could be the source of conflict and problems within the organization.

In implementation of IS/IT should under take the most effective strategies on how the individuals can cope-up with the changes in the organization. These strategic business goals are important to the success of a certain organization, specifically to the administration so that they can analyzed and understand the strength and weaknesses of their organization. It would also help them avoid the consequences and barriers that they may deal with in the implementation of IS/IT in their firm and through identifying these barriers they can formulate solutions to aid their dilemma regarding the changes of the organization.


Based on our adopted organization, these are the barriers regarding in their IS/IT implementation:


COST

IS/IT implementations typically requires incremental funding that must be raised from somewhere else in the organization. And, getting those monies allocated
is the number one challenge of the business managers that they are facing.

Most of the problems is the incapacity to show business value or return on investment (ROI) from modernization initiatives. For example, arguments related to technical capabilities of the employees and addressing the shrinking pool of staff skills are viewed as purely IT problems.

All they need are gateways to correspond the current business value of the supporting applications and infrastructure, the future business value of modern, agile systems, and the implications of delaying modernization work. IT executives need ways to make a stronger connection between modernization and operational concerns, such as lost competitive advantage, declining revenue, and poor regulatory compliance, to get the needed funds.





RISK

An organizational change is a risky and critical decision, i a sense that it mainly affects the whole operation of the business firm. It can push upward the organization's performance or it can pull backward that may result to a organizational breakdown. However, they need to ensure that their political capital is spent on projects that deliver maximum benefit in the shortest time possible and with minimal risk. A clearer understanding of the risks from inaction is necessary to
make a good case for modernization.



SOFTWARE

It is important for the organization to find IS/IT SOFTWARE that they will adapt in which it will provide the needs of the whole operation and transactions of the business. The software should fit on what approach does the organization needs, these involves the efficiency, user friendly, data security, reliabilty and etc.



MAINTENANCE

Maintenance allocates large funds and budgets as the organization implements their IS/IT. It is needed to ensure that the day-to-day transactions/operations of the system would run smoothly. It is a necessity because if the system will collapse due to lack of maintenance it would surely be a deep problem in the organization because we all know nowadays that IS/IT is now the heart and soul of a large business firms.

TRAINING

As the organization implements their IS/IT it is necessary for the employees to undergo trainings as they adapt the changes of their working environment. Proper educating of the employees on what is the new system helps them in coping-up, especially in working with it.
