The required data were collected using a standard questionnaire and the data were analyzed using regression analysis through SPSS 23 software. Findings: Research findings showed that fact-based management can account for 26% of changes in the quality of information services, management of resource providers can account for 38% of changes in the quality of information services and management based on facts and information Predict 39% of changes in the quality of information services.
