Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of information systems evaluation that augments the frequently reported prescriptive (cost/benefit) analysis approaches. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a qualitative case perspective and derives a framework for substantive information systems evaluation factors (PRISE). Three empirical formulations are considered and a comparison made to determine the content and context of the findings. Findings The findings support the flexibility and relevance of PRISE as a framework for information systems evaluation. It notes the objectives, relations and components for explicitly identifying the outputs required to make a valid assessment of the systems. Research limitations/implications The study is limited contextually where attention should be made not to generalise the findings beyond the empirical findings within the case analysis. Further studies may usefully include the main features of PRISE but taking into account their unique research environment. Practical implications The study supports a practitioner perspective through a consideration of a holistic approach to information systems evaluation. Managers may implement the notion of including people, resources and benefits in their attempts to determine the added value of these systems to the organisation that extends beyond a simple financial calculation. Originality/value The paper is highly original as the framework has been derived through both theoretical constructs and empirical analysis. It provides an innovative approach to information system evaluation that is intellectually sound and practically orientated.

PB-ISAM : a process-based framework for information systems effectiveness assessment in organizational contexts Özkan, Sevgi; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2006) A number of approaches of assessment associated with IS effectiveness have been examined, fundamental guidelines for research in this area have been derived, and a novel model of IS effectiveness has been proposed. A process based assessment method (PB-ISAM) based on the proposed effectiveness model has been elaborated. The new model and the new assessment method have been evaluated via three case studies. Specific implications have been drawn concerning the relationships between processes and the informati...
Evaluating learning management systems: Adoption of hexagonal e-learning assessment model in higher education Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife (2009-05-29) Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of learning management systems (LMSs) evaluation addressing the conceptualization and measurement of e-learning systems success in higher education. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts a quantitative case perspective and derives a conceptual model for e-learning assessment (Hexagonal e-learning assessment model – HELAM). The model is empirically tested for validity and reliability in the university...
Evaluation and selection of case tools: a methodology and a case study Okşar, Koray; Okşar, Koray; Department of Information Systems (2010) Today’s Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technology covers nearly all activities in software development ranging from requirement analysis to deployment.Organizations are evaluating CASE tool solutions to automate or ease their processes. While reducing human errors, these tools also increase control, visibility and auditability of the processes. However, to achieve these benefits, the right tool or tools should be selected for usage in the intended processes. This is not an easy task when the vas...
A method for decentralized business process modeling Türetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2007) This thesis study proposes a method for organizations to perform business process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The Plural method is based on the idea that organizations’ processes can be modeled by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to understand, analyze, model and improve processes, individuals are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. These individual models are then integrated to f...
Comparison of feature-based and image registration-based retrieval of image data using multidimensional data access methods Arslan, Serdar; Yazıcı, Adnan; Sacan, Ahmet; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Acar, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) In information retrieval, efficient similarity search in multimedia collections is a critical task In this paper, we present a rigorous comparison of three different approaches to the image retrieval problem, including cluster-based indexing, distance-based indexing, and multidimensional scaling methods. The time and accuracy trade-offs for each of these methods are demonstrated on three different image data sets. Similarity of images is obtained either by a feature-based similarity measure using four MPEG-...
