Demerits of PMIS There is a chance of information loss due to data

insecurity.

Generally people are not ready to accept changes

easily.

Legal considerations that need some adjustmentsand special attention are not fully taken care of.

Use of mainframe software requires strong

internal communication lines for support.

Software implementation is less likely to succeed

if the organization does not have sufficient

training in project management principles.
