While there are various factors that can have an impact on business processes adoption, this paper focuses on the impact of individual, process and organisational factors when adopting business processes in a large insurance organisation. Given evidence of non-optimal adoption, this paper investigates the factors that affect the adoption of business process by employees in insurance organisations in the context of Information Technology (IT) software development projects. A case study methodology was used with one large insurance company in South Africa as the unit of analysis. The data collection process started with conducting interviews with eight business process analysts to gain an understanding of how business processes are used in this organisation. This was followed by an online survey targeted at 120 business process users for which 65 responses were received. From the results of this study, a business process adoption (BPA) model has been developed which can be applied to assist an insurance organisation to improve the adoption of its business processes. The factors proposed in the model could guide future initiatives that aim to ensure the success of business processes in organisations.","PeriodicalId":208344,"journal":{"name":"2015 IST-Africa Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130408072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One prominent problem is insufficient coordination. Coordination problems are more pronounced when participants are distributed across space and time, as in the South African public sector. The complexity associated with the distributed nature of the environment, heterogeneity, autonomy and the increasing need to collaborate, provokes the need to develop a novel coordination support system for the South African public sector. However, for a solution to be successful, certain requirements, motivated from both literature and the environmental scan of the public sector, conducted as a case study, must be adequately addressed. This paper argues that the mechanisms of an awareness based life-cycle model, characterised by virtual community properties from a collaboration perspective, can adequately account for the dynamic aspects of the coordination requirements in a distributed environment. The paper initiates with a brief introduction, succeeded with a review of the objectives and methodology employed. Next, a brief background relative to the requirements to be fulfilled and the desirable characteristics of the addressing model is explained. Thereafter, a discussion on how the model addresses the requirements ensues, followed by a discussion thereof. The paper concludes by highlighting the values, and limits of the artefact, while taking cognisance of subsequent, future work.","PeriodicalId":208344,"journal":{"name":"2015 IST-Africa Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127730553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
