Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Story

A corporation has been leading the market in computer sales in both phone and in-store orders. The owner stepped out of the management scene for a while because the company was doing superbly well. Soon, other leading hardware manufactures started to overtake the sales of the corporation through their online sales. The company was facing bankruptcy, and the management decided to meet and reach some salvation from the situation. So when the old owner and chief executive officer (CEO) stepped back into the scene of management, he was consulted to bring the company into the online sales market. A study was conducted using surveys and analysis with statistics. From the study results, a team of consultants were hired to investigate and provide some relief for the company’s very shaky future and impeding life longevity. So with online ecommerce and enterprise system architecture (ESA) revamping, the company found some breathing room. Now you can go to a chain department store to buy the corporation's product or purchase from its Web site. Results have been great, and the corporation has been able to lead the task of rejuvenating computer sales.

Moral of the Story

As a company, management has to adapt to changes and competition. So if you have that agility and resiliency, you can survive as a company in the world of constant competition. As the old saying goes, "If you cannot beat them, then join them." That is what the corporation did. The CEO made sure that he shares the online market as well.

Assignment

The story that you just read shows how difficult it can be to get started with formal enterprise system architecture, particularly if very little attention was given to ESA and documentation of content in an organization. For this discussion, research the library and Internet for information about the evaluation of enterprise systems architecture in organizations, and then respond to the questions. Consider the difficulties faced in the story and how some of these difficulties were overcome.

• How important is the impact of retailing online? Explain your answer.
• What steps should be followed to properly evaluate an organization’s future with online sales?
• Select 1 of the most likely problem areas of an organization’s enterprise content management infrastructure, and discuss how the difficulties could be overcome.

Main project ( week2 ) ( need 4-5 pages content ) 

Case Study: Problem 2

U.S. Sports Fanatics has a very simple paper-based system and no information infrastructure that is easy to use. So an installation of information infrastructure will help U.S. Sports Fanatics a lot. However, before it can do so, a thorough evaluation has to be completed. The evaluation has to be done along with an analysis of the current information bank, even though it is paper-based. U.S. Sports Fanatics is looking forward to automated information that is readily accessible at all times. The need for CIA (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) matches the line of business that U. S. Sports Fanatics has going for it.

Assignment

One of the first tasks in the development of an enterprise system architecture manual is to evaluate the enterprise information infrastructure and system architecture and processes. The enterprise information infrastructure and systems processes consist of the data and how they are collected, managed, and stored throughout their life cycle.

Tasks to be completed before adding the new content for Week 2:

• Update the Enterprise System Architecture Definition document title page with the new date.
• Update the previously completed sections based on your instructor's feedback.

Week 2: Information Infrastructure Evaluation

For this assignment, you will conduct an in-depth evaluation of the enterprise systems infrastructure and content management processes in your selected organization. If the organization already has an enterprise content management system and formal content management procedures in place, you will document the existing system and procedures. If there are currently no formal system or systems architecture procedures in place, you will document the informal parts of the system that exist.

The project deliverables are as follows:

• Week 2: Information Infrastructure Evaluation
  • Content List
    • Provide a categorized list of the online sales used for the major organizational processes.
  • Enterprise Systems Tools
    • Document the tools that are used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver the content.
  • Enterprise Systems Processes
    • Document the processes' flow technology through the infrastructure.
• Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
• Name the document "yourname_CS663_IP2.doc."

Worked Example

Please refer to the Worked Example that follows for an example of this assignment based on the Problem-Based Learning Scenario. The worked example is not intended to be a complete example of the assignment, but it will illustrate the basic concepts that are required for completion of the assignment, and it can be used as a general guideline for your own project. Your assignment submission should be more detailed and specific and should reflect your own approach to the assignment rather than just following the same outline provided in the worked example.

Note that the worked example includes material from previous worked examples. The new material will be found under the Week 2 sections of the Table of Contents.
