Key failure factors:
1) Inadequate planning for BPR project: Top management did not clearly initiate the problems of exsiting business processes and make investment decision based on vendor promises and market share of the software. In this case, top management did not clearly identify the relationship between the existing business processes and the implementation of HPT.
2) Lack of process rethinking and redesign: People were used to the old processes, but not willing to change the original processes.
3) Relying on the implementation of HPT to improve the performance of business processes: HPT did not match the existing business processes, so the legacy systems were still used to handle many processes.

In this case, IT plays an role of inhibitor. Before the BPR project, the organization is based on “paper and pencil” forms. Despite, Vicro does not have an adequate understanding of IT for redesigning business processes. Therefore, the adoption of HPT is not a good decision when Vicor’s IT infrastructure is inadequate and inflexible. However, the need of IT at Vicro is necessary. Because the combination of IT with BPR can reduce the turn around time when replacing the manual approaches. And IT can help to improve the outcome of work, for example, more quantity of purchase orders in less time, quick communication and information sharing among employees, efficient order and fund tracking, and so
