  3. Abstract:
  4. The Iranian government has started and performed several Information Technology (IT) development plans and projects during recent years with the aim of taking advantage of IT in developing governmental services and increasing their efficiency. This case study intends to investigate the overall effectiveness of the implemented plans according to viewpoints of experts. A survey was conducted in The 1st International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Management in which the attendants were experts from academia and public sector. The questions were designed to obtain their views and standpoints about various issues concerning the success of IT plans in different segments and the priority of different plans. Results show that most of the IT plans have failed to comply with the objectives. Attendants believe that some of the most important segments have not been considered, as they should. As a result, this investigation proposes a priority list to be considered in the new plans and IT development strategies in the future
