Scenario
You have been hired as an IT Coordinator at Ransford College. Ransford does not currently
have a student management system (SMS) in place and the management is interested in
purchasing one that will cover the organisational needs the best way possible.
Ransford currently has 250 students and the admissions department enrols approximately
70 students per term having 4 terms a year.
All different stages from student application to enrolment and academic progress need to
be saved and recorded. Currently all these stages are being performed by the
Administration staff manually using excel spreadsheets. As the student numbers are
growing so fast, a student management system is a major priority for the organisation.
Your task as the IT Coordinator is to identify opportunities for using new technology to
support and enable an efficient IT model for Ransford and more specifically to assist the
administration department.
Your budget is $10,000/year to be spend on a student management system.
You can locate the organisation’s policies and procedures at www.ransford.edu.au.
Student journey
Student application > Check entry requirements (academic requirements, English language
requirements, evidence of funds to support study, overseas student health cover) > Letter of
offer > Payment > Confirmation of Enrolment.
Existing process
The marketing department of the organisation has agreements with various agents. Agents
are sending through students’ applications to the College.
The administration department assesses the student application, checks if the student
meets the entry requirements, sends a letter of offer and finally confirms the enrolment.
The academic department prepares timetables (units to be delivered per term, number of
trainers, students per classroom, rooms availability according to the number of students for
each qualification) and ensures students are provided with training material.

Ransford College
Changes/Recommendations
Field of change Changes within the Learning Systems and Modules
Technological
Environment
The learning environment within the college systems would be
enhance with the implementation of e-learning systems. The high
level of student enrolment would pose a major problem for the
administrative department to maintain the records in a manual
manner. Hence, the college would implement a Student
Management System (SMS) that would be handling the entire
application tracking and student enrolment system.
Clients environment The current environment at Ransford has 250 students. The
admission department enrols 70 students during a certain term.
There would be 4 terms in a single year. Each of the stages based
on enrolment of students to tracking of academic progress is
needed to saved and recorded. In the present environment, each
of the stages are recorded and maintained with the help of excel
spreadsheets. However, with the growing number of students,
there is a high need to implement a student management system,
which would help in maintaining each of the records of the
organisation.
Supply chain
environment
The supply chain environment within the college is responsible for
including the student management system within the educational
systems. The supply chain would plan the entire process for the
setup of the student management system within the educational
system. They would thus help in mitigating the problems within
the educational system and thus implement better kind of
strategies for the growth of the education quality of the students.

high. This business model would be mostly suitable for supporting the customer needs.
The subscription business model would help customers to gain a long-term contract and
thus be able to gain recurring form of revenues. This would be based on repeated
purchases.
Business Model Analysis 2:
Freemium – This is considered as the most popular and common forms of business
models that exists within the Internet platform. The different companies help in
offering basic and free services to their customers. These companies primarily charge
their customers after a certain time period after the expiry of the limited period offer.
There would be an inclusion of multiple plans that would be able to offer various
benefits based on different customers. This form of business model is regarded as the
most widely used business model as it is also considered as the marketing tool. This
kind of business model is also cost-effective for scaling up of business processes and
attracting new users to make use of the platform.
b. As an IT Coordinator, part of your role is to assess other industry practices. You will
need to investigate what business models are being used in other similar businesses,
for example a TAFE business model and record your findings below.

The TAFE NSW is a different modernisation program that would aim for the making of an innovative and
sustainable future. This kind of business model would be used for providing higher quality of learning
experience and better form of training for the students. The TAFE NSW supports the various vocational
education and training sector within the centre. They have been discussed as the leading skills provider.
They have been helpful for delivering high-quality, creative, relevant and high form of training to the
workforce of the future.
The TAFE NSW is based on embarking of the landmark investment program based on the renewal of
facilities. This would be necessary for gaining of hand-on skills for the various employers and jobs. The
TAFE NSW is based on investment of the best kind of training approaches. This business model would
help in the broadening of reach and thus provide training on various form of approaches. The use of
different ways would help students to gain a job from anywhere and whenever needed by the students.

standards and demands of the industry
Based on the discussion, the certain findings that could be gathered are:
 Refreshing and high-quality courses that would be able to connect the graduates with the
industry setup
 Increasing number of enrolments and generation of revenue based on continual improvements.
c. You also need to research business models that are being used, or that they are
under development, in other industry sectors (e.g. universities or schools),
determine the relevance of these models to Ransford college and record your
findings below.
Business Models in other industry sectors

Task 3
Your third task is to research for new business models by completing the activities below.
a. The first thing you will need to do it to investigate new business models in order to
establish opportunities for improvement. Research and describe at least two (2) new
business models and explain how these new models can improve your current
system.
New Business Models
New Business Model 1: Multi-sided Model
Description
In this kind of business model, two or more involved parties would need to interact with each
other for the purpose of gaining mutual benefit. With the help of this kind of business model, it
would be helpful for Ransford to connect with the students and management based on gaining
information about the different procedures. This business model would help the management to
maintain the records of the students and other processes in an efficient manner.
Opportunities for improvement:
The Multi-sided model would need certain improvements based on providing frequent
notifications about the needed changes within the software systems. There are several areas
within the education department that would need continuous form of improvement such as the
maintaining of records and other details of the students. This new business model should be able
to interact with the users and thus manage the entire business operations.
New Business Model 2: Peer-to-Peer
Description
This kind of business model is an extension of the multi-sided model. In this business model, the
individuals would be brought together in contact. Based on this kind of business model, the
educational system would be able to connect with new people and also gain recommendations
based on the new system.
Opportunities for improvement:
Some of the areas that would need improvement is based on advertising of the business model in
order to use them within the business processes. The security aspects during the interaction with
new people should be improved.

b. Now you will need to evaluate the opportunities identified in the table above against
Ransford College’s requirements. Evaluate at least three (3) opportunities in the
space below:
Evaluation
Opportunity 1: Change of the educational systems with the new business model
Ransford requirements: To manage the increasing number of students and the
growing database.
How can this opportunity improve the current system?

global database that would benefit the management to store and update the student
details in an efficient manner.
Opportunity 2: Increase of business efficiency
Ransford requirements: Increase the efficiency of storing of student records
How can this opportunity improve the current system?
The use of this opportunity would help the management of the organisation to

business process and describe it in the space provided below.
Ransford College Business Model
ICTICT507 - Select new technology models for business
23rd August 2018
Created @ Ranford College
Version 1.0

Model description: Blockchain
The blockchain technology can be described as a form of distributed ledger that would help the academic
sector to store transitions. Some of the possible areas of transactions that could be described within the
sector of education are based on completion of an assignment course and publishing of academic notes.
How will the model improve the business’ processes? Describe specifically in which
ways and for which departments the model will introduce appositive change.
The blockchain model would be able to impact the business processes within the academic sector in the
following ways. This would include:
 Stimulating of the knowledge or reward system
 Making of trustworthy credentials
 Storing of records in a safe and accessible manner
The blockchain model would help the academic sector to store the credential of the students in an
efficient manner. The organisation would be able to issue different credentials to the students. This
would further allow companies, recruiters or different other interested parties to verify those results that
would be submitted to them. With the impact of blockchain systems, there would not be a need for
having an intermediary control and third parties to have a control over them.
b. Now you will need to develop and describe four (4) performance benchmarks to
measure the effectiveness of your chosen business model. Use the table below to assist
you with the development of the benchmarks.

Performance Benchmarks
Benchmark Description
How will the benchmark measure the effectiveness of the
business model?
Internal Benchmarking This kind of benchmark would be able to perform a comparison
of the other business processes to some other kind of similar
processes within the organisation.
Competitive Benchmarking This benchmark could also be defined as a direct competitor-to-
competitor comparison based on certain service, product,
process or method.
Functional Benchmarking This kind of benchmark could be defined as a comparison based
on similar processes within similar functions outside of the
immediate industry.
Generic Benchmarking This kind of benchmark would conceptualize the different
unrelated business processes.
c. You will need to model the new business process in the space provided below:

Explain how you could collaborate with one (1) other business using the new model (e.g. the
agents, the company you purchased the SMS from etc).
The collaboration with the other form of business model would be done with a proper form of signing of
document. Proper kind of deals should be signed and thus the college administration should perform an
act of collaboration with the new model.
d. Finally, you will need to document your new model according to Ransford Colleges
policies and procedure and send it to your CEO (trainer) for sign off. Use Ransford
College’s template below:

confidential and hence the copyright and intellectual property would be able to handle the entire
scenario.
Question 4 – Outline and describe two (2) methods for the determination of the impact of
technological change.
The two methods based on determining of impact of technological change are:
 Understanding product innovation – The innovation in the services
