It is also to find issues and barriers which are actual problem of the system implementation being faced. Understanding the issues is vitalto identify areas for system improvement as the company needed to improvise in order to increase the level of decision maker satisfaction and provide the decision making more effective. The result is significant for the company's system future improvement in term of quality, efficiency and satisfaction after or while using the DSS system. However, further evaluations on other system area are essential with wider population and variable approach could be performed to apprehend the evaluation on system effectiveness of the company.
