2) Establishment of computerization promotion structure
In order to make a proposal for a computerization initiative, business analysis, in which business needs and issues are analyzed appropriately and methods for problem resolution are set, is very important. For this, BABOK (Business Analysis Body Of Knowledge), which is a collection of best practices for business analysis, are utilized.
- • In steps, such as “Survey and analysis of current business operations and systems,” system
optimization technique that is typified by EA (Enterprise Architecture) is used, and system design (i.e., the design of the system most suitable for business operations) is performed. By the implementation of EA, it is possible to confirm consistency between business operations and IT, share the future image (i.e., computerization initiative), and control the system technologies that are used. - • In “Survey and analysis of information technology trends,” continuous efforts are made
for information collection as changes occur rapidly in information technology. Special focus is given to the method of usage of information technology that creates competitive superiority or business opportunities. - • In “Clarification of scope of business operations,” priority is assigned to the business
operations in the scope by using elements such as operational objectives, effect, urgency, feasibility, budget, and framework on the basis of the results of analysis so far. - • In “Creation of a new overall image of business operations,” in addition to the new overall
image of business operations, the overall image of a new system is also created, and verification is performed to see whether the business functions is consistent with the organizational model and the new system. · 1 question
