¶ … Successful MIS Operation
The outcome of an MIS operation depends on how well the development and implementation processes were planned and structured before a system is launched for complete operation. It is from these factors that the success and failure of an MIS can be pre-determined during operation. While the capacity of an MIS during an actual operation is more important than the pre-determined capacity based on the carefully planned development and implementation, the success of an MIS operation also depends on the capabilities of human resources that maintain it.
There are other several factors that can establish the success of an MIS operation. From Cisco online, the following are some of the success factors that are applicable to an MIS operation.
Sound and efficient systems planning good system plan facilitates the development of a system because most of the stages that a system goes through are based from a system plan. These stages include the development stage, user-acceptance test stage, implementation stage, and live-operation stage.
Core business focus
In the whole lifecycle of a system, the MIS being developed must always be in focus to the core function it is being developed for.
Involvement of top management
It always helps if the top management will once in a while participate with the project team...
This is because the top management should have more idea of the purposes that the MIS will serve the company.
Standardization standardized protocol helps in the organization of the different stages an MIS undergoes. Situations such as identification of errors, application of resolutions, and many others, are made easy because the standardized procedures serve as guides to necessary actions.
Sound and Efficient Systems Planning
Before the development of a system starts, it is always the planning process that comes first. Development of a system is impossible without having a plan. Even the most basic preparation for systems development is considered as a plan. However, ideally, the process of systems planning should cover all stages relevant to the system, from the development stage up to the stage where the system is already in operation.
Sometimes, an organized planning process is taken for granted by the team tasked to develop a system. Because a system is made up of programs and codes (those done in programming platforms and languages such as.Net, C++, Assembly, etc.), the stage that usually holds much attention from an IT project team is the development stage where coding and programming is involved. This approach, however, makes a system prone to error. Since a system is a collection of processes that in one way or another are linked…

bad requirements can ruin a project. Success in relation to projects could be defined in several ways. The literature on Project Management has several definitions concerning project success. A project could be successful either in part or as a whole. A more rigid definition relating to overall success of projects could be on the basis of the argument that all strategic stakeholders are satisfied with the results of the project.
