STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Group
Assignment (Business Report)
In
groups of three or four, you will be
required to conduct research on AIS/ERP Systems for your client. Your team is
required to pick a case study in one of the areas mentioned below (not limited
to). Then prepare a Business Report for the client detailing the processes of
selecting an AIS/ERP to help them to make informed decision for investment in information
system to take their business to the next level including:
1.
Define
business processes,
2.
Develop
business requirements,
3.
Determine
the systems requirements,
4.
Software
and vendor selection
5. Determine
at least three (3) ways which companies or organizations utilize such
technologies to improve business efficiency
6.
Evaluate
the level of efficiency of the technology implementation
7.
Examine
potential security risks, data breaches
8.
Provide
guidelines on how these risks could be mitigated.
The
report should be about 3500 words and should be submitted in an MSWord format
document for the client. Each group would be required to find AIS/ERP that
addresses the different aspects of the clients’ business especially the area of
their enumerated challenges and should also ensure that the client’s business
requirements are addressed. You may also employ any analysis or design tool in
the preparation of your report – so long as the results are suitable for
presentation in the required Word document and are your own work. Remember:
this is a report intended to convince a board of directors to adopt your
proposal. Your report must therefore be complete, yet concise; be clear and
convincing, and professionally presented. Above all, the report must be
specific to the needs of the business.
