Abstract: While IT adoption has been the focus of much research, this paper combines aspects of research that have received little attention.First, this paper focuses on the factors affecting IT adoption from the firm-level.Second, a novel technology such as digital imaging technology (DIT) is investigated.Not only is this very relevant but this moves away from the much researched technology, EDI.Lastly, while much of the IT literature focusing on IT adoption at the firm-level emphasizes large organizations, this research looks into small businesses.To investigate IT adoption from a small business perspective, three factors are identified that influence the DIT adoption in small firms.These factors are: organizational readiness, perceived benefits, and external pressure.In short, small firms will be investigated to determine what factors affect the adoption of DIT within the banking industry.A survey package will be sent to 167 CEO's from independent banks in Alabama.
