GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEM STRATEGY
Part A: Journal
18th September: I went to the official page of Kiwibank https://www.kiwibank.co.nz/ and
checked about every detail regarding their corporate mission, vision, business strategies and
business processes. I even noted down the details of their unique IT infrastructure and IT
governance. I came to know that they want to spread their products and services in other parts
of the world as well and ensuring that the business becomes extremely effective and efficient,
in comparison to other banking organizations. I was able to write the entire introduction part
of my report with these data.
20th September: I emailed the IT department of Kiwibank about their physical IT
environment. The type and number of servers, computing platforms and software platforms
as well as other four components of IT infrastructure were noted by me, so that I am able to
understand their detailed IT infrastructure.
21st September: After getting prompt reply to my email to the management of Kiwibank, I
started searching on Google about types of issues and complexities faced by Kiwibank
regarding management of their IT infrastructure. The cognitive domains of the organization
were well identified after I did a peer reviewed analysis. To write the second part of this
report, which was details regarding IT infrastructure, I ensured that every detail is known by
me.
24th September: I started writing the current IT infrastructure and probable challenges and
problems faced by Kiwibank while managing their infrastructure. These issues were
extremely vulnerable for the business growth, however could be resolved with proper
precaution. I identified four distinctive issues of IT infrastructure for them.
26th September: A recommendation of emerging technology was needed to be provided to
Kiwibank to make sure that their business becomes extremely effective and efficient in
comparison to others. After searching in different articles and journals, I found out that they
are not using cloud technology in their business and since data storage and data management
is one of the major identified issue in Kiwi, I recommended them to use cloud services in
their business. It would ensure that every complexity related to data management is well
resolved without much issue.
28th September: I understood that implementation of big data is another vital aspect that can
provide several advantages to Kiwibank for managing and analysing complex data sets. To

fulfil this particular requirement of my report, I completed peer reviewed search regarding
big data and was able to find out importance of the technology, major business opportunities
as well as challenges in maintaining big data in a business.
30th September: I searched for online articles and took help from books and professors, in
understanding the future of big data and several steps that are needed to be undertaken for
implementing big data within the business. I was also able to provide suitable
recommendation to Kiwibank regarding their selection of big data strategy in the business.
3rd October: Finally, I was able to note down all the key findings and recommendations in the
conclusion part of this report for Kiwibank to improve its business operations.
