EXPERIENCES AND EXPECTATIONS WITH CASE TECHNOLOGY - AN EXAMPLE FROM SLOVENIA

Adoption and current use, perceived benefits, problems, and expectatio ns in the application of information system development methods and to ols, specifically CASE technologies, are presented in the settings of Slovenia. Current practices and trends in the use of CASE technology w ere surveyed; major differences in the IS development approaches in or ganizations that currently use or do not use CASE were identified. The findings are believed to be indicative of some other new Central and Eastern European democracies that are at a comparable stage in develop ing their IS technology markets. Although most IS managers in Slovenia are aware of CASE technology or have considered its use, organization s with a comparatively high level of IS maturity - ones with some corp orate IS development standards in place - actually use it. More than l imited funding for investments in advanced information technology, the lack of related methodological and management knowledge and skills se ems to be the major reason why system developers do not adopt it or, w ith limited use, slowly adopt CASE.
