Unit Information (SASS) MNG93211 – Managing Information Systems (online) – SP4 / 2018 Assessment 2 & Assessment 3 – Systems Implementation Proposal Assessment 2 - Part A of Systems Implementation Proposal Due: Sunday 29 July 2018 Length: 2,000 words Weighting: 30% Assessment 3 - Part B of Systems Implementation Proposal Due: Sunday 12 August 2018 Length: 3,000 words Weighting: 40% Assessment topic The purpose of Assessment 2 and Assessment 3 is to evaluate your ability to develop a comprehensive implementation proposal for an information system that uses a systems approach. The proposal should be targeted at a potential ‘sponsor’ organisation (your workplace) that will need to be convinced of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the proposed new system. Part A of the proposal (Assessment 2) focuses on understanding your organization (or the organization you have chosen) and exploring the opportunity for IS/IT improvement (e.g., selecting an information system to support organizational’s strategic objectives) while Part B of the proposal (Assessment 3) focuses on designing and implementing the chosen system. Choose an information system (e.g., ERP systems, CRM systems, SCM Systems, Management Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, Executive Information Systems, Enterprise Portals, Data Warehouse & Data Mining Applications, Enterprise Collaboration Systems, Knowledge Management Systems, among others) that you have studied in this unit. Alternatively, you may wish to combine features of several systems. For the purposes of both Part A and Part B of the proposal, the IS/IT improvement should not focus on Apps, mobile devices, social media or similar aspects. If you are unsure, then consult your tutor. Your assignment should describe the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) discussed in Topic 3 of the subject. The proposed system must address an identifiable problem/opportunity that exists in the sponsor organisation (your workplace) and relate to particular aspects of the organisation’s overall strategic directions. It is important that you select the features of your system carefully and justify your selection. Do not just use (be critical of the use of) the standard features of a commercially available software package. For the purposes of this assignment, try to keep the system that you are proposing to a manageable size. Your proposed system could help the ‘sponsor’ organisation by: improving an existing manual information system introducing a new information system creating a new business opportunity improving organisational productivity. The sponsor is generally a senior person within the organisation who has the authority to approve such projects.
