Organizations in the current environment need to create and sustain their competitive advantages. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions are considered a strong tool that helps organizations to succeed and arise. But ERP projects’ implementation has relatively low success rates in which it may affect and shake the whole organizational performance. This study searches the power of software usability to achieve ERP Project Implementation Success (ERP-PIS) considering the mediating role of user information satisfaction (UIS). A set of research's hypotheses have been constructed. This study adapts a positivism view, using the survey strategy. The questionnaires were filled by 106 managers who use ERP systems or affected by ERP systems in different organizations. The findings of the research ensure the fitness of the model, and that mediation role of user information satisfaction (UIS) in Jordan is highly visible. Also, the research shows up the strong power of usability to achieve ERP-PIS. Based on the findings, development of ERP applications would be improved by software organizations in terms of usability, and organizations need to acquire ERP applications would also improve their decisions in choosing an ERP solution.

This paper discusses Dynamic Capabilities (DC) models presented in some earlier previous studies. The author shows that there are many fundamental and good thoughts that need to be organized and clearly specified in a full and comprehensive framework. The paper contributes by introducing a new framework for DC using an updated set of components. Also this paper provides another model that reflects DC from higher level perspective, whereas other issues such as strategic alignment and leadership are clearly included. The paper also contributes by provision of the whole understandable process of how DC can be formed.

Evaluating project success in the changing environment of software industry is critical to organizational success. The main issue is projects' diversity in various domains, thus a variable development criteria for each project's success is essential. This paper proposes new model Success by using the Objectives (SbyO) model based on project objectives, stakeholders' priorities, and the project time frame. The SbyO model contribution consists of four components; first, the model evaluates projects success through the degree they achieve their stipulated objective; second, the model considers the importance (or the value) of stakeholders' perspectives in setting the priority of what perspective to consider and what other perspectives to ignore; third, the model takes into account the timeframe for executing the elements of the specified criteria; finally, the model provides SbyO cross-table to the organizations for the practical implementation the model. The SbyO was evaluated by two experts; results show applicability in software systems.

Information Systems (IS) ecosystems change rapidly which makes IS projects’ success challenging. Project success eventually impacts organizational competitive advantage which is a major concern for telecommunication organizations. dynamic capabilities (DC) are needed for organizations to continually transfer, shift and reallocate their organizational capabilities according to the dynamic changes occur in the surrounding ecosystem. This paper aims at investigating the impact of organizational dynamic capabilities (DC) on IS project success in telecommunication organizations in Jordan. A survey is used as an instrument of research in order to achieve the research’s main objectives. The study is carried out by surveying (233) employees who participated in IS projects. The survey paragraphs are validated and approved by a panel of experts. Consequently, data extracted from the questionnaire is statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and AMOS applications. The findings reveal that employees in telecommunication organizations recognize and apply the concept of DC (Dynamic Capabilities) at a (High) level. Results also show that rate of IS projects success in telecommunication organizations in Jordan is (High). It also shows that DC along with its four main dimensions, contribute in all three dimensions of IS project, and that project capabilities play a major role mediating the impact of DC on IS project success. The study has several contributions on both academic and practical levels. For example, it links DC for becoming basis for software projects success.
