The purpose of this paper is to analyze the essential features of a Management Information System (MIS), designed and implemented at the Universidad de Otavalo to support strategic planning, institutional evaluation, and decision making. A five-phase and fifteen-stage process was applied, along with their corresponding techniques and expected results. Based on the literature review and their experience with the implementation, the authors devised a novel MIS implementation approach, comprising the following phases: planning, information analysis, MIS design, implementation and evaluation. The MIS consisted of four main modules: teaching, research, linkages with society, and management, and was based on the client-server model. The literature review did not yield any publications that discussed truly integrated management information systems applied to university management covering the four main modules, thus confirming the originality of the work described in this paper. The MIS implementation results contributed to the improvement of the management of the university through the automation of most of the processes and activities related to institutional planning and evaluation, and considerably accelerated the processing and analysis of useful information for decision making.

“…Among the management practices that can be affected by culture are practices relating to human resources, financial and IS. Consequently, IS success in different cultural contexts may require different approaches (Ali et al, 2014) and priorities. Therefore, critical attention should be given to evaluating SISP within a particular context for the success of IS projects.…”

PurposeStrategic information systems planning (SISP) has been identified as a key strategy underpinning an effective utilization of information systems (IS) to achieve the core objectives of an organization. This study aims at identifying, ranking and prioritizing factors that IS and business executives consider critical for the success of IS projects.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a qualitative research approach with a 3-round Delphi process to get experts' opinions on critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for successful SISP. A forty-two panel of experts was selected using defined criteria. Quantitative analyses of the data were performed using Kendall's coefficient of concordance and chi-square to obtain a consensus among the experts.FindingsThe findings revealed the top managers' understanding of strategic priorities, aligning IS strategies with the organizational strategic plan and availability of internal resources to deliver IS services as the first three key CSFs of SISP. Other highly ranked CSFs were the management's understanding of the role of IS and the need to educate top management on the importance of IT in supporting the business strategy.Originality/valueThe CSFs factors obtained in this study would lay a foundation for future research and could be incorporated into a new theoretical model of IS planning.

“…Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is a systematic process to evaluate business capability, whilst the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat analysis can be used to identify organisational position and potential ( Turban, Pollard & Wood 2018). An organisation must develop SISP to realise its business vision and mision through strategic direction and information communication and technology (ICT) action plan; the latter serves to increase organisational performance and competitiveness by maximising ICT (Al-Ammary et al 2019;Ali, Crump & Sudin 2014;Haron, Sabri & Zolkarnain 2013). However, SISP's main problems include management team's non compliance and low prioritisation of the planning process (Kelvin, Oghenetega & Jackson 2012); overfocus on certain ICT aspect and neglecting others; exclusion of uncertain environmental changes during planning; and low involvement of top and middle management owing to conflicting commitments (Bermejo & Zambalde 2014;Manoharan, Melitski & Bromberg 2015;Zubovic, Pita & Khan 2014).…”

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) guided organization in achieving its target. The importance of SISP increases proportionately with the uncertainty of business requirements. Failures in implementing SISP may affect organizational service delivery and reputation. This paper discusses on the evaluation of the practice and influencing factors of SISP implementation in a public sector. The Human Organization Technology-fit framework was used to evaluate the effectiveness of SISP from human, organization and technology perspectives. A qualitative case study was conducted using interview and document analysis method. The study identified 25 influencing factors of SISP implementation including knowledge and expertise, stakeholder engagement; governance, top management support, financial allocation and infrastructure capabilities. These influencing factors can guide other agencies to identify the risks of SISP implementation at an early stage; subsequently, mitigation plan can be developed to minimize the risk.
