Discuss about the enterprise architecture

Management Information System

Discuss about the enterprise architecture

Your instructor, Brooks, is the CIO for Western Oregon University (not really,
but he is for the purposes of this assignment). You are the chief architect
for this project. We will use the EA3 framework and methodology (from the
text). Do not be concerned (yet) with governance.

While there are a wide range of IT projects that are important to the
university, I’ve been tasked by President Fuller to focus primarily on the
student-centric IT systems and services that WOU provides to its students. I’m
working to assemble a steering committee of people to help determine the
priorities for this effort, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get started on some
early activities to build out our EA and EA strategy. To that end, your first
assignment is to document our current architecture.

1. Document the WOU mission statement and key objectives under the core
themes for the university. Organize this in a way that will make it easy to
reference these objectives – I recommend using a spreadsheet with unique IDs
for each objective.

2. We think of three primary lines of business for WOU: undergraduate
education, graduate education, and research. Think of a good way to visualize
these three LOBs, and call out that for this initial EA project we will only
focus on the undergraduate education LOB.

3. Please draft an initial communication plan. A good first step would be
to document how this initial work you are focused on is due on Tuesday, Jan
31, at noon. You should also identify other suggested communication ideas.

4. Finally, I want you to perform an inventory of the high-level IT
systems and services that currently serve our undergraduate students. I’m new
to the job so I don’t even have a great idea of the scope: I know we have
Gmail, Moodle, the WOU Portal, and the online library tools. There’s probably
quite a bit more! Create a graphical illustration that identifies this
inventory of services – try to fit it on one page if possible! You might find
that using a modeling tool like Visio or Archi will help. Please use a digital
tool for this – I don’t want hand-drawn diagrams!

Additional guidance and requirements:

Identify actions you have taken to eliminate or control the risks identified in part one of the assignment

 

Risk Management

Identify actions you have taken to eliminate or control the risks identified in part one of the assignment

 

Conclude your risk assessment with a discussion of how well you are satisfied with your level of risk control as indicated in your responses to part two. If satisfied, why do you feel this way? If not, what more can you do to control identified risks and reduce loss, hazards, injury, or even death?

Parameters: Please complete the written assignment using complete sentences in paragraph format. All paragraphs should be indented five spaces, and sentences free from grammatical and spelling errors. The last page of the assignment should be a reference page in correct APA format which includes at minimum two sources beyond your textbook as a source of information. The assignment should be at least five hundred words in length not including the reference page.
