APA referencing must align to the guide which I uploaded into the Assessment folder in Blackboard. If you reference a website you will need to follow the APA referencing guide. If you only write the website and no other details it is not an APA reference. If you would like to discuss in more detail, feel free to email me and I'd be happy to discuss in zoom using the number below.

The brief gives a guide to the structure of the report but remember you are selling a concept to your client, a new information system that you have researched. This new IS might be a cloud solution or on -premise or a combination of both. It might be an ERP or something else. There are many options but Assessment 2 asks you to recommend only one. Is it SAP, Oracle or something else. You will need to state what it is otherwise the client would not pay you for your service. Remember you are writing your report based on critical analysis in other words, state the options, state why some might not be the best solution then state why your option is the only solution for your client based on your research. Be convincing using your knowledge and professional skills. Your Recommendation paragraph should be very clear, succinct and to the point and not written over one or two pages. Your selling a solution. Be direct and to the point.

Assessment 2 asks you to research and discuss one issue only. There are ofcourse several issues in the video and in the Excel spreadsheets and database records. But you should consider how deep you should or should not dive into these issues. Remember that you need to write 2,500 words that represent your understanding of the course materials and recommend one IS solution. The brief simply suggests the Excel spreadsheet is inefficient. You are not required to produce more spreadsheets to fix the old spreadsheets. You are required to recommend an IS solution e.g. a specific ERP or other IS that fixes Fibre's issue that you have identified for Marketing and Sales. The Assessment Brief Learning Outcomes asks you to provide a recommendation including strategic goals. We have covered a range of material regarding strategy (Porter's), enterprise architecture, cloud vs on-site, big data, knowledge management and other relevant content. There is sufficient material in the modules for you to discuss several options and recommend only one IS solution.
