A model for CASE implementation: A Malaysian experience

The benefits of CASE are unlikely to be realized unless a formal and rigorous transition plan is adopted by IS departments. Any CASE tool that is in the hand of unplanned and unprepared personnel may produce negative results. Keeping this in view, the authors present a cyclic model for successful implementation of CASE into an organization. Furthermore, the authors present the results of a CASE survey that investigated the extent to which the public and private agencies in Malaysia have adopted any transition plan before committing substantial financial resources. The results show that a large proportion of organizations have failed to incorporate any formal transition plan before introducing CASE tools. Such nonadherence has resulted in the rejection of CASE tools.
