The results show that all the six constructs coordination of expertise, communication plan, IT infrastructure reach, on time, within cost, process innovation and within cost are all valid measures of their respective constructs based on their parameter estimates and statistical significance (Chow and Chan, 2008)
This study supports conventional views of the influence of independent variables of coordination of expertise, communication plan and IT infrastructure reach on the perceived extent of process innovation in software project process in Malaysian public sector using the Partial Least Square (PLS) techniques in testing hypotheses
Summary
ICT spending has resulted in large and complex computing environments which have become overly expensive to operate, maintain and provide very little strategic value or return (Raup-Kounovsky et al, 2010; Teo and Ang, 1999). According to the AttorneyGeneral‟s report in 2006, the Customs Department spent RM290 million for a system which was subsequently underutilised In this case, the Deloitte Consulting firm was appointed to prepare a plan in the vicinity of RM451 million to develop the solution (Lee, 2007).
