A properly implemented Project Management system will have more deliverables, fewer nonconformities, reduced rework and scrap, reduced cycle/lead times, greater employee satisfaction, and increased customer satisfaction. These benefits will not occur in many organizations because they are not able to overcome the barriers or obstacles to implement a PM system.

What are the most important barriers?
have you ever seen a formal study for this?

Abolfazl -

I've not ready any formal studies on this, but having worked for one PPM solution vendor and worked with multiple clients using different PMIS's, I'd say the biggest barrier is the human change management aspect of implementing and sustaining their usage.

In very few cases have I see a PMIS which data contributors (e.g. PMs or team members) felt helped them in their daily work. This lack of perceived value contributed to poor data quality.

If the processes and framework of Project Management are not robust enough in an organization then PMIS or PPM tools cannot miraculously provide value.

More often the pressure of deadlines on projects , departments in an organization working in silos and not often sharing vital information , the lack of investment of time and effort in developing a consolidated PMIS and Lack of support from Senior Management lead to an ineffective PMIS.

First of all, system is not software system just to clarify. Second, all you stated is valid on one context or environment but must of what you stated could not be valid on other context or environment. That is the key point.
