3DATA AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Introduction
The role of the information technology is changing and the advantage, which can be
achieved from the concept, is increasing. In the past, it was stated that the concepts of the IT
is, cost oriented and did not add to the bottom line nor it could be applied to gain competitive
advantage. The concept of IT can be considered as just as an overhead for the organization, it
is a business asset that can be used for controlling, monitoring and managing (Gorkhali &
Xu, 2017). The enterprise architecture can be used to treat assists as a portfolio rather than
individual assets.
The main aim of the report is to provide the “Australian federal government” the
benefits of an “enterprise information architecture reference architecture (EIA RA)” for the
concept of developing a national HER system.
Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture
The main benefit that can be achieved from the concept of Enterprise Information
Architecture Reference Architecture are stated below:
Benefit 1.
The enterprise architecture can be considered as a way of strategically managing all
the IT resources of the organization. In the times of industry consolidation, acquisitions, spin-
offs and rougher business problem, the IT enterprise information can be considered as one of
the first things to take a back seat to more pressing problem of the business. The concept can
be very much beneficial in the concept of aligning the IT strategy of the business
Benefit 2.
Some of the benefits, which can be achieved from the concept, lie in more than one
area. First, it should be made clear about the infrastructure, which has to be taken into

consideration. Effort can go into the concept of building it and building it with the growth in
mind. Then the infrastructure can use this concept to justify the needs, as the system is ready
to implement. When an organization supports the standards which are related to the IT arena,
the cost of support is decreased which helps in the IT staff doing one thing at a time rather
than focusing on more than one aspect at a particular time.
Benefit 3.
The concept of the enterprise can help the organization to retain the quality of the
staff by means of able to focus more on the concept of training and other employee
development fund. The concept basically focus on the support for their internal “ clients”,
reduce the number of the technologies that staff support has to take care of and helps better
focus for the efforts of the employees, this makes their job description much more clear. The
main aim of the approach is to provide the necessary information to the at the right time to
the right person.
