Assignment Task
You are to prepare a preliminary report for the Australian Federal Government describing the benefits of intelligent enterprise design and Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture (EIA RA) for developing a national E-Government system.
The intended audience for this report are government officials who may have knowledge of the government operations but limited computing knowledge.
Your report should follow the following template:
Executive Summary
Table of Contents
Table of Figures
1.0 Introduction
Intelligent Enterprise Design
Discuss the business vision for the future intelligent E-Government system. Use two example functions from the "Focus Area" in (Week 1) Information Analysis Evolution discussion file to explain the benefits of evolving from "Historical Reporting" to "Anticipate and Shape".
Function 1
Function 2
3.0 Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture
Discuss the benefits an EIA RA approach can provide to guide development of an E- Government system. This discussion should expand on at least three of the identified benefits and should include at least one diagram providing an overview of the proposed system.
4.0 Conclusion & Recommendations References
Report Format
Your report should be around 2,000 words and it would be best to be no longer than 2,500 words long.
The report MUST be formatted using the following guidelines:
• Title Page - Must not contain headers, footers, or page numbering. Include your name as the report's author.
• Header - Report title
• Footer - your name and the page number
• Paragraph text - 12 point Calibri single line spacing
• Headings - Arial in an appropriate type size
• Margins - 2.5cm on all margins
• Page numbering
• Executive summary to the last page of Table of Figures to use roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv)
• Introduction and onwards to use conventional numerals (1, 2, 3, 4) starting at page 1 from the introduction.
• The report is to be created as a single Microsoft Word document (version 2007 or later). No other format is acceptable and doing so will result in the deduction of marks.
Referencing
The report is to include (at least 5) appropriate references and these references should follow the Harvard method of referencing. Note that ALL references should be from journal articles, conference papers, technical papers or a recognized expert in the field. DO NOT use Wikipedia as a reference. The use of unqualified references will result in the deduction of marks.
Assignment Advice
1. The task of developing an EIA for E-Government would in practice would take a team of IT professionals hundreds of hours to complete. It is acknowledged that your time is constrained to several weeks and approx. 20 hrs work on this assignment, and as such this assignment is not so much about completing it but seeing how far you get.
2. Whole text books have been dedicated to the topic of EIA RA, thus in your discussion of EIA RA you will need firstly to be succinct, and secondly to be selective in describing aspects of EIA RA significant to an E-Government system.
3. It is not expected that you become an expert in E-Government, but it is expected that you demonstrate your research into the field as it pertains to EIA.
4. As this is a master's level course, you will be graded on your ability to put forward an argument supported by scholarly articles. Simply regurgitating the text book is not sufficient.
5. There is no correct answer and it is expected that students' answers will vary greatly, thus there is little chance of accidental plagiarism.
6. Ensure that you clearly understand the requirements for the assignment - what must be done and what are the deliverables.
7. If you do not understand any of the assignment requirements - Please ASK your tutor.
8. Each time you work on any aspect of the assignment reread the assignment requirements to ensure that what is required is clearly understood.
