AIMS
This subject introduces the concept of enterprise architecture (EA). The structure of an EA provides the framework by which an organisation can be understood. It introduces the fundamental relationships existing between various components of the EA namely: processes, information, organisational structure and enabling technologies. Consequently, many of the concept domains introduced in this subject are more fully explored in further core and elective subjects.
Students enrolled in the Master of Information Systems with a weighted average mark of at least 75% can take ISYS90096 Enterprise Architecture Applications instead of ISYS90036 Enterprise Systems subject to approval from the Coordinator of the Master of Information Systems.
