Pitfalls in executive information systems (EIS) development

As identified by Watson, EIS failures ar due to the by-line factors Lack of executive support The support during the period of development is truly essential. The support from the higher management with regard to information transparency and whimsey for the system would define better activity lifecycle and speed in implementation. ofttimestimes information gathering from higher management is poorly managed and lacks standard processes for enter mechanism.As non enough documentation is done, the primary stage of IS development is miscarried and broad(a) lifecycle suffers. Undefined system objectives The system objectives are oftentimes revised and requirements are poorly defined. The cooking stove of such systems is open and is never seized, thereafter making the system development in an undefined fashion. The system objective is not understood from the very beginning. The idea is to determine and set justifiedly goals for the system. such initiatives are often neglected and not documented well.Undefined goals push activities to a different path and lack enough direction to succeed (McNurlin, 2009). unsatisfactory support staff The support staff are often short(p) and unskilled to handle the development. The high skill individuals are often wanting(p) for the development of EIS, which demands effective resources with years of aligned experience. Such shortages pose a danger to the development. Improper planning The planning of the EIS system development is often is not adequate and lacks risk management information.The idea is to make the right judgment of the system in conjunction with various organizational objectives and the scope of the system. Such analysis often lacks and indeed the system development fails. mean the EIS system into various sub-systems for development makes the system development planned, however often the system knowhow makes it quite difficult to understand the entire system and thus the development of framework beco mes difficult.
