1. Roadmap of Projects:
GovDept is a governmental department that is a mid-sized enterprise carrying out the
primary services of socializing throughout the large-sized territory. Being within the field of
business for a long time now, the organization has been identified to be lacking in some of
the key areas of IT implementation within the procedures of business that occur on a daily
basis within the company (Nikpay et al. 2017). As a reason, along with an internal IT team,
the company has also taken help from an externally operating EA consultancy for carrying
out the projects. The roadmap to the projects that are to be undertaken in 2-3 years for the
company are,
i) Development and integration of variable information systems into all the business
units of the company to automate the procedure that will act as a great boost
towards increasing the productivity and improving the communication on a daily
basis with ease.
ii) Implementation of a proper Enterprise Architecture within all the business
procedures of GovDept for improving the business outcomes and increasing the
expected growth of the company.
iii) Improving the existing services and introducing of newer services to be
provisioned to the customers for satisfaction and increasing the customer base of
the company (Nikpay, Ahmad and Kia 2017). In addition to this, the customer
services are to be improved as a means of retaining the ones for better growth of
the business.
2. IT roles in GovDept:
The company is in possession of an internal IT team that is specifically headed as well
as monitored by the CIO that has the primary objective of looking after the development and

department has a count of 250 specialists who have been entrusted upon with the primary
responsibility of focusing upon the three functions that have the inclusion of service,
architecture as well as development (Dale and Scheepers 2020). In regards to this, the IT will
have the following functions to be implemented within GovDept. These are,
i) Towards developing the architecture of the company in such a way that every
individual business process needs to have the proper implementation of an
information system. The information system will have a constant monitoring over
the business procedures of the organization as well as managing the same.
ii) Provisioning every individual employee with upgraded systems to carry out their
individual work on a regular basis with ease and with greater efficiency.
iii) Provision of management information systems that will keep a track over the
primary business outcomes and manage the customers (Bakar, Harihodin and
Kama 2016).
iv) Implementation of services that will be provisioned to the customers on a digital
platform working online for the ease of the customers to enjoy the same with ease.
v) Implementation of a system that will bring an entire change across the architecture
of the business model to keep up with the competitive market and the threats
posed towards the company by the competitors.
