business starategy and business architecture

• Business strategy of the company (15 Points). Use the typical management models (customers versus products, Porter, others) to capture the main ideas. Show the IT strategy needed to support the business in the next 3-5 years. What role will IT, especially the Internet, play. You may use the Internet-stage model and other Internet business models (what stage should the company start and why, can the company go from stage 1 to stage 3 in 3 years, what are the specific benefits, risks, etc for choosing a stage). How will the various internet models fit into this staged growth. The company wants to be a next generation enterprise – advise in favor or against it. • An enterprise application plan (15 Points). This should show what will be automated when, why and how. Create a year 1 view that shows about 36 business processes (BPs) to be used by the company and the enterprise application packages (EAPs) that will automate the business processes. This should be done as a matrix where BPs are rows and EAPs are columns. Use the CSF methodology as a basis for automation. In particular, identify five applications that are critical to the success of the company. For each application, also show the implementation strategy (buy, rent, outsource development, develop in-house, or extend -- BRODE). Briefly explain why you chose a particular strategy.
