Abstract. Information technology is becoming more energetic than ever in the
world. Nevertheless, there are still the gaps between the information systems and
the business needs of the organizations, the contributions of information tech-
nology in creating business value in the organizations are still overcast. This
study proposes an extended theoretical model for information systems success
from the information technology business value perspective, based on the
organizational resource–based view. Research results externalize that these
constructs called information technology resources, performance expectancy,
information quality, system quality and system use which are structurally related
to firm performance.

1 Introduction
The development of the Information Technology (IT) is becoming more energetic than
ever in the world. However, the actual success rate of Information Systems (IS) is
roundly 25 to 40% in the period of time 2007–2016 [58], with approximately 31% of
IS projects were canceled [26]. According to Markus and Tanis [35], one of reasons for
an IS is dis–continued, partial adopted, or non–adopted that is lack of “feature–function
fit” between the organizational IS and the business needs of the organization. Schryen
[50] justified that the contribution of IT in creating business value is still a “gray box”,
not yet determined. Hence, researching and measuring the IS success are the top
agitation of managers and researchers [46].
Whereby, Soh and Markus [57] obtained synthetic business value from the IT
business value generation process. Markus and Tanis [35] pointed out the process of
creating business value for IT with regard to the IT adoption and the IS success.
Melville et al. [38] developed the model of IT business value based on the resource–
based view of Barney [2], Grant [24], Wernerfelt [69], and integrated with the other
components into a unified framework. Accordingly, the main finding of Melville et al.
[38] is that IT is valued in the focal firm, business value depends on internal and
external factors, competitive environment, and macro environment. There are many
