Story

A company is well-known for its shipping of packaging overseas. It has been in the business for over a decade. Lately, it has been having problems keeping up with the demand and the timing of the delivery of packages.

A consultant has been assigned by the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief information officer (CIO) to handle the dilemma. In need of more facts, the consultant contacted the chief knowledge officer (CKO) and chief financial officer (CFO). It was decided to revamp both the current software used to process orders and a need to automate the old, ineffective IT infrastructure. The consultant hired a team that was very instrumental in achieving the goal of the company to revitalize the company’s enterprise systems architecture (ESA) and long-term objectives. She did so by applying the latest state-of-the-art technology that included OpenCart software and using RAID (redundant array of independent disks). She really hit the target, implemented the upgrade, and took the company back into being a true A+ company.

Moral of the Story

Spending money on outsourcing and hiring the right staff to handle your IT and business problems may not be a bad idea as most CEOs and CIOs seem to avoid doing. Using the latest technology is a good indication that the company is willing to invest in the advancement of the company and willingness to achieve its goals.

Assignment

The story that you just read shows how difficult it can be to keep up with the automating business demands. For this discussion, focus on system planning by the use of architectural practices, and then respond to the questions. Consider the difficulties faced in the story and how some of these difficulties were overcome.

Investigate the library and Internet for information about enterprise architectures. From your research, select an enterprise architectural model, and complete the following:

• Discuss how you can automate an existing company's method of payment in its IT infrastructure.
• Identify positive and negative aspects of the selected model in relation to the operational health of an organization

Case Study: Problem 3

Every time U.S. Sports Fanatics has to update it sales database, it has to back up the database and launch a newer one on a monthly basis. The space on its disk is getting very scarce, and it requires creating a newer version of the database to start all over again. Purchasing of a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a possibility, and this is what U.S. Sports Fanatics is pursuing.

Assignment

The next steps in the creation of an enterprise systems architecture manual are to examine the current systems architecture, determine the strengths and weaknesses, and define improvements.

Tasks to be completed before adding the new content for Week 3:

• 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 3: Information Infrastructure Improvements

For this assignment, you will examine the existing systems architecture documented in the previous project, and you will document the improvements that will result in a better system.

The project deliverables are as follows:

• Information Infrastructure Improvements
  • Systems Architecture Process Improvement
    • List the strengths and weaknesses for each process documented in the Content Infrastructure Evaluation section of the manual.
    • Document improvements for each process. The result of this step will be documentation of the new systems architecture processes.
  • Systems Architecture Tools Improvement
    • Document the improvements to the tools used to support the new systems architecture processes.
• Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
• Name the document "yourname_CS663_IP3.doc."
