CASE STUDY PART 1

At your initial meeting, you and Ruth discussed some initial steps in planning an information system for the farm. The next morning, you worked together on a business profile, and talked together about various types of information systems that could provide the best support for handling their customers' needs, and mindful that there was a need to also track certification documentation to demonstrate the fully ‘organically produced' nature of the farm produce. You also discussed the longer term plan to expand the operations of the farm to include farms that supplied fruit, which would also have to be demonstrated to be fully ‘organically produced'.

You start by creating a System Vision Document for "Eat Organic Food", so that Ruth can use this to define a vision for the new system and present this to Ian.

ACTIVITY

1. Either by yourself or with another class member, brainstorm all the functions that the "Eat Organic Food" Information System might fulfil. Keep it at a very high level.

2. Prepare a draft System Vision Document for the Farm Information System. This System Vision Document will be revised when you find out more about the requirements for the system. An example of System Vision Document can be seen in Figure 1.8 of the textbook (Figure 1.5 in the 6th ed).

3. Add your System Vision Document to your Report document in Part A: Initial Investigation.

You have been given a little information about what is required but there are a lot of gaps. You are expected to fill these gaps to work out details and additional information that is needed. This also gives you some latitude to explore farming and their operations as they apply to your background and experience. Make sure you explore other vision documents and know how they are worded and what needs to be expressed in them so that an organisation knows where it is headed and what it is trying to achieve.
