However, there are still major flaws that such systems can create and only prove to have disadvantages that derive from the original unsolved problem. Some of these problems resulted from solutions that are unique and innovative. Just within the past decade, information system analysts and researchers have been and are still working on the design and utilization of information technology in the right manner with the user and organization in mind. Debatably, there are various IT artifacts that are essentially analyzed such as why the information system (IS) was built in the first place, how it is to be used and what the final impact of the system is.
