SECURING THE SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION OF A GLOBAL INFORMATION DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

This paper is based on a segment of research by the author in the area of global asset management. It concentrates on an information system based on e-mail and Internet technologies that provides part of a global distributed solution for the manufacturing business sector. The requirement for successful adoption of the information delivery system forms the topic of the paper. For proactive decisions to be made, accurate, directed and punctual business performance information is vital within organisations. Maintenance derived information is typically isolated and unused outside maintenance departments. However, available technology today, allows for the storage, comparison and analysis of vast quantities of raw data. The potential possibility of unlocking this valuable wealth of information provides firms with huge opportunities. Further, to obtain the maximum benefit, delivered information has to be tailored to specific individual needs. Key Performance Indices provide the type and direct relevance of information individuals require. In order to ensure maximum organisational confidence in the system, it has to provide secure and effective means of transferring internal and external information at regular intervals. Consequently, the paper discusses how the necessary trust can be built up in the system to provide a successful adoption of the technology. Therefore, the paper shows a methodology that can aid participation for the introduction and business integration of the information delivery system.
