Decisions regarding information system evolution strategy become topical as the organisation’s information
systems age and start to approach the end of their life cycle. An interview study was conducted in order to
compare factors influencing modernisation and replacement initiation. System age, obsolete technology and
high operation or maintenance costs were identified as triggers for both modernisation and replacement
projects. The results show that the most prevalent individual reason for modernisation initiative is business
development. Common initiation factors for replacement projects were end of vendor support and system’s
inability to respond to organisation’s business needs.
