Training has been a neglected area in the information systems function. When the technological perspective of the information systems function was dominant, the scope of training was restricted to upgrading/imparting technical skills for implementation of information systems. In recent years, the socio-technical perspective of information systems has gained wider acceptance and the role of training has come into sharper focus.
