The employees are divided into two groups (Group A’ & B’), that means individuals with and without learning difficulties. Also, we examine the performance of students at Technological Education Institute of Piraeus and University of Athens. This research aims to explore the use of Information Management Systems in order to improve the performance of adults with and without learning difficulties, eliminating the unemployment due to economical crisis. We examine the ease of this MIS by the employees and students, the time and the number of records were made in this ERP (Accontancy System-Navision) by this crowd and finally the performance by the groups of this research.
