Assignment Description

In the fast-paced, evolving enterprise environment, there is a need to integrate systems, whether with recently acquired organizations or with the latest off-the-shelf technology. The challenge seems insurmountable without some formalized approaches, tools, techniques, and best practices to support the effort. You will select a manageable systems integration project so that you will have practice with all phases of the systems integration process, from determining enterprise integration requirements through the final implementation planning.

Project Selection

The first step will be to select an enterprise as the target for your systems integration project, along with a list of the major systems to be integrated within the target organization.

This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

Nontrivial: The selected enterprise should be large enough to reflect the need to integrate systems.
Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow you to focus on its system's integration needs.

• Select an enterprise that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first few days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Question 1: Describe the overall project objectives.

Question 2: List the business or technical needs that will be met by the project.

Question 3: List the major components of the project (major systems that will be integrated).

Question 4: This list may change after further analysis is completed.

Question 5: List the boundaries of the project (what the project will not address).
