Succeeding with Enterprise Architecture Service Provision in Australian Organisations. This project aims to develop, test and refine an innovative model that explains how and why Australian organisations achieve benefits with enterprise architecture services. Enterprise architecture services involve the provision of relevant and timely advice about future IT systems, databases and digitised processes to strategic IT decision-makers. The model will enable Australian organisations to better unders ....Succeeding with Enterprise Architecture Service Provision in Australian Organisations. This project aims to develop, test and refine an innovative model that explains how and why Australian organisations achieve benefits with enterprise architecture services. Enterprise architecture services involve the provision of relevant and timely advice about future IT systems, databases and digitised processes to strategic IT decision-makers. The model will enable Australian organisations to better understand the capabilities required to achieve success with enterprise architecture services, the outcomes that can be achieved and the benefits realised. This will help Australian organisations to make more effective strategic investments in IT and remain globally competitive.Read moreRead less
Managing IT Service Provision and Sourcing in Australia, 2010-2019. Commoditization of IT and increasing globalization mean that the best ways to organize IT service provision in Australian organizations are changing rapidly. By studying the way IT is managed in 12 large Australian organizations over three years (2007-9), the primary benefit expected for this study is that we will be able to offer sound advice to Australian Chief Information Officers on the best ways to structure and manage IT ....Managing IT Service Provision and Sourcing in Australia, 2010-2019. Commoditization of IT and increasing globalization mean that the best ways to organize IT service provision in Australian organizations are changing rapidly. By studying the way IT is managed in 12 large Australian organizations over three years (2007-9), the primary benefit expected for this study is that we will be able to offer sound advice to Australian Chief Information Officers on the best ways to structure and manage IT service provision in Australian organizations. As a secondary benefit, we will be able to offer advice to students, on careers in IT, and to Information Systems Departments in Australian universities, on desirable curriculum content for the next decade.Read moreRead less
Towards Scalable, Internet-Based RFID Traceability Networks. Food and drug safety is a major public health issue in Australia. Recent events involving poisoning of chocolate bars and paracetamol tablets in Australia have demonstrated the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling commercial products that have been released into the community. This project will develop novel techniques for locating items in large-scale distribution networks driven by RFID (Radio Frequency Identificat ....Towards Scalable, Internet-Based RFID Traceability Networks. Food and drug safety is a major public health issue in Australia. Recent events involving poisoning of chocolate bars and paracetamol tablets in Australia have demonstrated the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling commercial products that have been released into the community. This project will develop novel techniques for locating items in large-scale distribution networks driven by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. The outcomes of the project will make it easier to rapidly and accurately pinpoint product locations in the event of problems such as an illness outbreak due to contaminated food or counterfeited drugs.
