A scoring model can be used for selecting projects where many criteria must be considered. It assigns weights to various features of a system and then calculates the weighted totals. What Smarty's would do is have decision makers such as top managers list the various features they feel are important to have in the system, such as the processes that need support or reports they may need from the system. Each feature, or criteria, the managers list is given a weight, or rating, in terms of how important it is overall to have in the system. Each package then is evaluated in terms of the percentage of requirements it contributes or supports for each criteria. In the scoring model, you multiply the weight with the software's percentage of contribution to arrive at a score for each criteria. The scores of both software packages are totaled and compared to see overall their contribution to fulfilling the company's requirements.

Adding calendars and appointment scheduling capabilities to email clients allows users to receive alerts for upcoming events, synch with a smartphone, or flag recurring events that stretch out over months or years. Like contacts, calendar events can be transmitted and exchanged using standardized file formats. The iCalendar format is widely used to transmit calendar data. The .ics extension indicates that the plain text file contains iCalendar code so the programs can recognize it. The calendar's collaborative features eliminate much frustration for event managers. Consider, for example, the struggle to schedule a team meeting, even with the help of email. Asking people for the times and dates they have available can be fruitless and time-consuming, with many false starts and delayed responses. But if everyone is sharing calendars, free time for all is easier to identify. Personal preferences, cultural factors, and corporate norms all affect the use of calendaring software and how much it adds to overall productivity.

Features of organizations include the organization's culture, politics, and structure. A new information system might be resisted by end users or by managers for political reasons because they are concerned about the political changes the system implies. For example, a new system might lessen the authority of a manager in overseeing the employees, and he or she may not want to relinquish this power. A new information system might challenge the organization's culture and be resisted for this reason. For example, an information system might allow students at a university to take self-managed courses, while the university's basic cultural assumptions include the concept that professors are the purveyors of knowledge. An information system, by allowing the distribution of knowledge, may be better used in a company with a flatter organization. A company with a highly stratified hierarchy may have difficulty adjusting its business processes and structures to an information system that does not follow the same business hierarchy of information.
