Strategic information systems planning (SISP) is an important issue for managers. The fundamental question in this field is that the success of strategic information systems planning is affected by what factors. This study was planned to evaluate the factors affecting the success of strategic information systems planning at government agencies at Bushehr city. In this study, the role of environmental uncertainty and the process of strategic information systems planning on the success of such systems was studied. The data variables were collected through a questionnaire and a conceptual model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling. Based on responses from 66 public sector organizations in Bushehr city, our findings show that the impact of SISP process on the success of strategic information systems planning has been directly confirmed, but the direct impact of environmental uncertainty on the success of strategic information systems planning was not confirmed. The indirect relationship between these two variables is approved through influencing SISP process.
