".......the result of this research show that the use of project management information system is in fact advantageous to project managers. Improvements in effectiveness and efficiency in managerial tasks were obseverd here in terms ofbetter project planning, scheduling, monitoring, and control. Improvements in productivity were also observed in terms of timelier decision-making. Advantages obtained from PMIS use are not limited to individual performance but also include project performance. These systems were found to have direct impacts on project success, as they constribute to improving budget control and meeting project deadlines as well as fullfilling techincal specificatons. One can therefore conclude that PMIS make a significant contribution to project success and should continue tobe the object of project managment research."
