The expectation that computer networks combined with the Internet and associated technologies will be common in all businesses of the future has resulted in a flurry of investment in ICT around the globe, and in wide interest in the Internet, e-commerce and e-business. For example the Malaysian government has created a high-speed data highway, a federal capital that is a 'wired city', and a 'paperless hospital' [1]. The UK Government too has recently approved plans for major ICT projects [5, 10]. These projects are in healthcare, and involve large financial sums. It is important that the use of these public funds leads to successful outcomes. This paper analyses a large successful ICT project that uses e-business technologies. The aim of the paper is to identify the success factors in this completed project to see if these pointers indicate favourable prospects for the outcome of these new healthcare projects.
