Organizations continue to invest heavily in new Information Systems and Information Technology (IS\/IT) as a vehicle to increase productivity and add value to their business. Investment in IS\/IT is not only acquiring technology, but above all investing in change. Difficulties in justifying investments in IS\/IT are often the cause for uncertainty regarding expected benefits and are often identified as being one of the most critical management issues. In the literature, it is common to find reports about IS\/IT investments that failed to achieve the expected results and benefits. Benefits Management approach (BM) tries to overcome this gap through a management process cycle that enhances the potential benefits from the planned use of IS\/IT. In the authors' case study, BM was applied to an IS\/IT initiative that radically changed the way an internal printing process is carried out, with the added advantage of producing greater environmental and economic sustainability. This study also shows that the application of BM can contribute to increasing the degree of benefits realization and value from investments in IS\/IT initiatives.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijsds.2017010102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,7]],"date-time":"2017-04-07T15:35:49Z","timestamp":1491579349000},"page":"13-26","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Applying Benefits Management to the Implementation of a Copy Point"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Bartolomeu","family":"Madeira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISCTE-IUL, Instituto Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ADVANCE, ISEG - Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4564-1883","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Rom\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISEG - Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"IJSDS.2017010102-0","first-page":"1","article-title":"Modeling risks in IS\/IT projects through causal and cognitive mapping.","volume":"8","author":"A.
