Risks in changing the IS of an organization reflects the events that can affect the flow of business.
Based on what I have read and understood, these are some of the risks associated with changing the IS/IT:
Inconsistency of data
- Variations in the way data is collected may affect the consistency of the information being gathered and thus, affects the operations in an organization.
Incomplete system
- unfinished or incomplete systems can greatly hinder the progress of an organization.
Irrelevance of information
- Information that is inappropriate, unnecessary, or too detailed for effective decision making has
no value.
In addition to that, poorly programmed or systems lacking in proper security can be easily manipulated and it may disrupt the flow of work that will lead to incorrect decisions or impaired planning.
Having new or changing the information system can be a tasking job. But then, if used properly and accordingly, the organization can benefit from it. The success of implementing new or changing the system depends on the accuracy of the technical deployment and also the people's acceptance of the change. As always, proper education and communication are the keys in helping the implementation of the change in the information system in an organization.

This is the unfinished image for our Green Campus Computing Advocate. The slacker that I am, I tend to leave my work and then do other things. But I think tonight this image will be completed by then. Though it is incomplete, please do tell me what you think of it. Your comments will be greatly appreciated..... hehe... ^^,based on what i have read, Information Systems fails in ways more than one. There are a lot of factors affecting the failure of a System. There are a lot of factors involving the failure of a system. But based on what I have read, there are five major concepts of failure. These are:
- Incomplete or the requirements are not given
- Failure to meet the deadline
- Cost
- Unused Systems
- Customers are not satisfied of what they get
On those said failures, the cost and the unsatisfied customers can be connected. Some IS can be relatively cheap compared to most but there may be a flaw or two that can be seen. Due to this flaws, the users may find it annoying and will resort to dumping the said IS and find a new IS, which means that the discarded system will be lost. If the requirements is not met in a said IS, then that will be considered a failure for its use is limited and there is certainly flaws that will arise.

Human Resource Management is included in the BSIT curriculum for it is essential when they will be having a job. HRM(Human Resource Management) is essential for it helps in dealing with people in a certain workplace. No matter what job we do or where we are, we are most certainly dealing with people no matter what.
Through this said subject, we can mingle effectively and understand more about the people that we will be dealing with in the near future. And if that will happen, then there will be a harmonious relationship between us and the people that we will be working in the near future (hopefully when we graduate). ^^
