Key Points

To assess the implementation of the Local Government Information System (SIPD) at a regional financial agency in Indonesia using Edward III's implementation framework.
Conducted a qualitative descriptive investigation utilizing Edward III's four-factor framework (communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure) at BPKPD Magetan Regency, Indonesia.
Gathered data through field observations, documentation, and semi-structured interviews with 8 informants (1 agency head, 3 division heads, and 4 operators), analyzed via the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model.
Horizontal communication and institutional commitment improved over time, but vertical communication was hindered by online-only socialization, slow central helpdesk responses, and abrupt software updates lacking technical guidelines.
Staffing shortages (three personnel each in Budgeting and Accounting) resulted in substantial dual workloads during server outages, while clear system-enforced authority division operated without formalized local standard operating procedures.
