There are too many different reasons for organizational project failures. Non-supportive management, internal resistance, and situational changes can be mentioned as some of the most important reasons. In formation sciences (IS) projects follow the same rules. Because of their considerable effect on the quality and quantity of organizational output, this article tries to propose some solutions to minimize the probability of such failures in Iranian organizations. Informatics Services Corporation (ISC) as the largest e-banking company in Iran has been chosen as the case of study. Vensim software (Version 9) was applied to simulate the real situation available in ISC. By testing different solutions, it was conducted that the most effective ones are: continuous training, establishing sustainable management systems via process clarification and procedure deployment, helping to ameliorate contactors' financial condition, and clear written contractual relations instead of verbal agreements in all phases of the projects. The major advantage of this article is its concentration on project gap.
