“…Alternative measures have therefore been proposed to quantify the impact of technology. One such measure, widely accepted in Information System (IS) research [4], is the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory which has been suggested to be "one of the most important developments in information system theory" [5]. TTF provides a means to quantify the effectiveness of technology in an organizations [6].…”

The Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory provides a means of quantifying the effectiveness of technology in a system by assessing the relationship between the technology and the tasks the technology aims to support. The theory is widely recognized and has been applied in various ways, but little work has been done to summarize and synthesize the application of TTF in literature. The aim of this study is to identify and summarize the focus areas of studies that applied TTF, the environment in which it was applied, and the technologies which were considered by conducting a scoping review. It was found that applied studies focused primarily on generating theory or assessing certain realworld phenomena; was applied in a wide range of environments with the majority being in healthcare; and considered various technologies, with an increasing number of studies focusing on mobile technology. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of TTF applications and assists in framing future research to further analyze TTF studies.

“…It is difficult to calculate the worth of technology because of the complex links between technology, users, tasks, systems, and processes. Task technology fit (TTF) is a widely used measure that has been suggested to assess the impact of technology [33]. There are various versions of the model, but the fundamental model is composed of task characteristics, technology characteristics, and performance effects.…”

Revolutionary advances in technology have been seen in many industries, with the IIoT being a prime example. The IIoT creates a network of interconnected devices, allowing smooth communication and interoperability in industrial settings. This not only boosts efficiency, productivity, and safety but also provides transformative solutions for various sectors. This research looks into open-source IIoT and edge platforms that are applicable to a range of applications with the aim of finding and developing high-potential solutions. It highlights the effect of open-source IIoT and edge computing platforms on traditional IIoT applications, showing how these platforms make development and deployment processes easier. Popular open-source IIoT platforms include DeviceHive and Thingsboard, while EdgeX Foundry is a key platform for edge computing, allowing IIoT applications to be deployed closer to data sources, thus reducing latency and conserving bandwidth. This study seeks to identify potential future domains for the implementation of IIoT solutions using these open-source platforms. Additionally, each sector is evaluated based on various criteria, such as development requirement analyses, market demand projections, the examination of leading companies and emerging startups in each domain, and the application of the International Patent Classification (IPC) scheme for in-depth sector analysis.

“…The fit between task and technology has been analysed since the mid-1990s, when various authors (Aljukhadar, Senecal, & Nantel, 2014;Goodhue & Thompson, 1995;Goodhue, 1995;Zigurs & Buckland, 1998) examined the key factors determining the appropriate use of technologies. This theory, termed Task-Technology Fit, is one of the most important developments in information system theory and has been applied in many contexts, including the economic and financial management of university departments (Melchor-Ferrer & Buendía-Carrillo, 2014). Two levels of feedback can be considered: i) the manager evaluates the task-technology fit and in view of the results, redefines the task characteristics and the software used; ii) the community improves the technology, making use of an open source licence.…”

“…In the best of cases, the only control consisted of a spreadsheet in which each teacher was assigned a column, but for which either there were no clear, explicit criteria for distributing the budget available (such as item limits, spending ceilings per teacher, the use made of budget surpluses, etc. ), or if there were, they were unknown to many staff members (Melchor-Ferrer & Buendía-Carrillo, 2014). A financial information system such as this is inefficient, unfair, laborious, opaque and may result in an irresponsible use of public resources.…”

This paper presents the main features, characteristics and benefits of an economic and financial information management system that has been introduced in several departments at the University of Granada (Spain). The system is web-based and intended to optimise efficiency in the management of public resources, according to e-government approach and principles. It is based on a combination of expressive, yet intuitive, query language, and faceted search, and has meant an important advance by comparing its performance with that achieved by other approaches. To assess the usefulness and functionality of this web-based system, in-depth interviews were conducted of different types of users. The methodological approach followed to address the analysis of this type of qualitative information is Constant Comparative Analysis from which it is derived a casual network whose main outcome is the improvement of economic and financial efficiency in the department. To encourage widespread use of the system, the application is open source software.
