Day by day, users demand systems that fulfill their expectations. Often, users of a system are dissatisfied because systems do not meet their expectations. Indeed, user expectations vary, including unrealistic expectations –those that are without regard for constraints such as budget, time, manpower and so on. Even so, place of users’ involvement in system development and implementation need to be recognized. Usability is an important aspect in system development and implementation. It is necessary to have an elaborate understanding of usability from the ‘eyes’ of a user. This study adopted the qualitative research design that employed triangulation. Two contemporary DCC cases of interest in this research study are: MTCr. in Kisumu; and the Sarafu in Nairobi. This paper espouses usability definitions and associated attributes. Specifically, this study established the meaning of digital community currency from the lens of the users.

“…That is, can be partly based on the responses from users/participants in a systematic study. In such a study, user responses may include distinguishing system features and normally they express them when they interact with the system [10]. Users tend to express system features or system design in terms of needs and wants, that they may somewhat be unclear, 'messy', or unfulfilled expressions and words.In this study, a user is viewed as an individual or a group of individuals in community where DCC is in operation.…”

“…This is a non-functional requirement having priority value of 19.34%. The priority attached to usability underscores the need for user friendly systems, which has been severally emphasized in literature such as Abdelaziz et al (2016), Lewis (2014), Uzoka (2009). In emphasizing the importance of usability of software systems in the overall performance of the organization, the authors in Engelbrecht et al (2017) noted that business managers often underestimate its impact on processes and people; and further suggested that organizations embrace the culture of usability testing and training, especially with enterprise systems.…”

Decision-making in the field of information systems has become more complex due to larger number of alternatives, multiple and sometimes conflicting goals, and an increasingly uncertain environment. Software systems play unique roles in the translation of corporate strategic and tactical plans into actions. We present the results of a study designed to develop and evaluate an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model to support decision making in the selection of appropriate software system to meet organizational needs. Our results show the viability of the AHP methodology in software system/project selection, and points to the importance of functionality (35.26%), quality (22.00%) and usability (19.34%) criteria in the overall decision process. Cost and vendor service did not seem to exert significant weight in the decision matrix.
