Acquiring a GIS means
that one has to consider technical issues surrounding which hardware and software
to choose, and also make decisions regarding functional requirements and about
factors such as performance standards.
Despite the often difficult
decisions surrounding hardware and software requirements, GIS implementation
failures tend to be due more to people problems than technical ones (Aranoff,
1989), so the integration of people and technology has to be carefully considered
when setting up a GIS.

For a management perspective on setting up a GIS, see Aranoff, S. (1989).
Think!
What are some of the things you could do as a manager to help the integration of people and GIS technology go smoothly?
