INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR ASSET LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT: LESSONS FROM TWO CASES
Engineering organisations traditionally take a deterministic view of technology adoption. It is for the same reason that investments in information systems carry the expectation of high future returns in terms of process efficiency, service provision, quality and quantity of output, and substitution of human effort through automation. On the other hand, research suggests that the assumptions about productivity gains from investments in information systems are paradoxical. Despite substantial investments organisations have failed to achieve the expected level of productivity and efficiency. This paper reports experiences of two Australian asset managing organisations with regards to information systems implementation to support and manage the lifecycle of their asset base. These case studies highlight the organisational, cultural and technical issues that asset managing organisations need to account for in order to maximise value from information systems.
