3. Here, information systems development is seen as being socially constructed and that it is more an ‘exploration’ in information systems development for a particular organization than the application of a methodology as such. 8 Success and failure Over-reliance on any information systems development methodology adhered to rigidly may be one reason for information systems failure, and well-known IT failures, such as London Ambulance, the Taurus system for the London Stock Exchange, the RISP system for Wessex Health Authority and the New Zealand Teachers Payroll system (Myers, 1994) suggest that failure may be due to a number of reasons, such as an overemphasis on keeping costs to a minimum, poor planning and control, not taking account of the views of the stakeholders or the ‘politics’ of the situation.
If this relationship is compromised through outsourcing, then so is a potential source of competitive advantage. Consider one company (A) we studied. Throughout 2000 it employed an e-fulfilment firm (B) to deliver goods but insisted that these be delivered to A’s warehouse and not to the end customer. At no time did B know who the end customer was; it was only given enough information to deliver goods in the right quantity and at the right time to A. These goods were then relabelled by A and delivered to the end customer.
Criticisms can be made of all of these approaches. For example, data analysis may merely model existing problems, process approaches are reductionist and simplistic in the way they structure problems, participation can be inefficient, soft systems approaches slow down the development process, prototyping limits user choice and object-orientation is yet another ‘panacea’ that does not add to data modelling in any fundamental way and so on. We may agree with these criticisms or not or, more likely, see them as partly justified.
