Assignment topic 

The purpose of this assignment 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 that will need to be convinced of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the proposed new 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), and so on, that you have studied in this unit. Alternatively, you may wish to combine features of several systems. Please note for the purpose of this assignment, mobile apps or other e-business and digital enterprise applications should not be used as the chosen information system. 

Your assignment should describe the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) discussed in Topic 4 of the subject. The proposed system must address an identifiable problem/ opportunity that exists in the sponsor organisation and relate to particular aspects of the organisations 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 by: 

improving an existing manual information system 

introducing a new information system

creating a new business opportunity

improving organisational productivity. The sponsor could be: 

top management of your company 

an investor

a financial institution which will lend you money

a client who has engaged you as a consultant.

But a sponsor is not the same as the financial sponsor. Format for Assignment 2 The format of the formal assignment will be: 

Covering letter to sponsor
