This positions AMIS as a critical enabler in enterprise digital transformation.
Organizational Behavior and the Challenge of Technological Adaptation Despite the operational successes, the study also uncovered human and organizational constraints that affect AMIS adoption.
Several interviewees from older age cohorts expressed initial resistance due to unfamiliarity with digital This observation resonates with Inyang et al.
, who warn that lack of digital readiness and poor internal training structures can erode the efficiency potential of even the most sophisticated information systems.
The socio-technical systems theory underscores this issue: technological success is contingent upon the alignment between system capabilities and user competencies (Trist, 1.
In PT.
ABCAos case, technical deployment alone was Success depended on comprehensive training programs, sustained user support, and leadership commitment to change.
For example, the implementation team launched a phased rollout, offered user feedback channels, and appointed "digital champions" in each department to assist less experienced users.
Furthermore, organizational culture plays a significant role in shaping AMIS outcomes.
As observed, greater interdepartmental coordination emerged as a secondary benefit of AMIS.
Teams that traditionally operated in silos began sharing real-time data, leading to more integrated planning.
This mirrors the findings of Yandi et al.
, who argued that AMIS encourages horizontal transparency and reduces asymmetrical information flow between To sustain the gains, it is crucial for PT.
ABC to institutionalize digital literacy development, embed AMIS within performance evaluation frameworks, and maintain flexible system governance that evolves with changing organizational needs.
Such strategies ensure that AMIS remains adaptable and relevant amid growing operational complexity.
