1.0 Introduction
The report aims at describing the importance of e-government towards the Australian
federal government. The main characteristic that is obtained with the current system is that it
offers better dimension towards maintaining a citizen centricity that helps in reviewing the
government function from outside. The present system also offers a common infrastructure
and interoperability that ensures better encouragement towards the people of citizen. The
report will focus on discussing the intelligent enterprise design that will help the government to
implement better system. The e democracy concept will help in delivering better government
services towards the citizens. It is important use innovative technology within the government
system so that it becomes easy to connect the government with the Australian citizen. It is
important to focus on information analysis evolution so that it becomes easy to explain the
benefits that generates from Historical reporting to anticipate and shape. Enterprise
information architecture reference architecture is used with the aim of developing an e-
government system. The report will explain the benefits that are achieved with the proposed
system.
2.0 Intelligent enterprise design
The vision of the organization is to develop an intelligent e-government system that will
ensure better connectivity towards the people and government. With the implementation of
new system the future products and services will get enhanced. Thus the aim is to generate a
system that will be beneficial for the government and will effectively handle all the process
taking place within the system. The developed system will provide a better channel towards the
citizen for communicating with the government. This will help in generating better rules that
helps in enhancing the functions.
2.1 Information sources
The reason of having anticipated and shape reporting is that it includes different types
of data that are being used as actionable data. Once the data is being collected these are being
analysed based on their respective sources. The data are being collected from internal sources,
unstructured data and from instrumented data. However the main reason of having actionable
data is that it helps in enlarging the functions related to business. In addition to this they also
provide a better shape towards the data that ensures in development of useful data. This data
are used at the time of decision making. This process is being developed mainly for the purpose
of analysing the different types of data. This process includes in taking several information that
has several actionable data. On the other hand main aim of conducting historical reporting is
that it offers better way of gathering the internal information related to transaction systems.
Historical report helps in sorting the data effectively so that it can include past status and time
required for completing a specific task. The data that are associated with the system includes
data regarding events that has the capability to affect the system. After analysing the data this

DATA SYSTEM AND INTEGRATION
are being used to draw the results. This data are being further used for providing a specific
result towards the organization. The benefits offered by actionable data ensures better
enhancement towards the processes performed by the organization. The major benefits
offered with the actionable data are described below:
 Ensures working with intelligence: the information related to every organization is being
analysed effectively so that it can provide a better valuable insight towards the
performance of the organization. This ensures providing help towards every kind of
situation and also protects the organization from damages.
 Visualizing data: the main activity that takes place with the visualization of data is that it
analyzes huge amount of data that can be extracted based on the need of organization.
Data visualisation helps every individual in performing better activity.
 Enhancing time needed to response: this also ensures a better way of collecting the data
that will be further processed effectively. This also includes predicting the future market
tends that will work in providing better extensive products.
2.2 Processing
In case of anticipate and shape the data processing is done based on real time
implication. Data regarding the current business situation are collected so that it can help in
providing better decision towards the organization. The process involved in historical reporting
includes analysing large set of database. The snapshots of this database are created from past
that helps in analysing the data sets. The major benefit that comes along with the processing
the data at real time are described below:
Improving the services:
There are different types of services provided by the organization that looks after the
services that are provided towards the customers. It becomes important to have a real
processing of the data so that it can provide a better rate towards the conversion of revenue.
The system also ensures generating proper feedbacks based on the services provided towards
the customers. This helps in analyzing the situation faced by organization and also helps in
generating better process that will ensure improved services.
Errors faced by organization:
With the use of real time processing it becomes easy to identify the errors that are faced
by organization. This will also ensures that organization is working effectively to develop a
better strategy that will help in overcoming the situations. This will save the operations
performed by the organization by providing better service towards the customer within the
given deadline.
Fraud detection

DATA SYSTEM AND INTEGRATION
With the use of real time processing it becomes easy to detect the different types of
fraud that takes place within the business. These activities have the ability to impact the
performance of organization and will lead to huge loss of business capital. Thus it becomes
important to focus on storing the resources in a way that it cannot be affected by other
unauthorized people.
New strategies of competitors: it becomes easy to achieve details regarding the organization
with use of real time processing. The main objective of the business is make extensive
development that will provide better knowledge regarding the competitors. This provides
detailed knowledge regarding the business strategies and the products offered by a business.
Saves time and cost
One of the important factors that come along with the implementation of real time
processing is that it offers different ways to save the organizations cost. The real time
processing also helps in completion of the project within short time period. The system
eliminates the waiting time that helps in generating the responses quickly and also reduces the
need of expensive set of products.
3.0 Enterprise information architecture reference
architecture
The main aim of having proper enterprise information architecture is to ensure that the
organization is executing mutual framework for having a cost effective technology. Thus it is
being suggested to exploit proper information architecture that will help the organization in
overcoming the difficult situations. Maintaining proper security within the organization turns to
be a great concern as it helps in providing better safety towards the data stored within the
organization. Enterprise information architecture is used for the purpose of having an extensive
architecture that will provide better benefits towards the architecture of the organization.
Enterprise information architecture provides a better and mutual architecture at the early stage
that helps in understanding the overall perception of organization. EIA provides a corporate
model that ensures an effective evaluation of the extensive data framework maintained by the
organization. With the implementation of new system it is expected that the organization will
have a simplified architecture that will provide a better access over the information stored
within the organization’s database. Enterprise information architecture helps in developing
proper operational services, along with better standards that helps in analysing there activity
performed within the system. There are several benefits offered with the use of enterprise
information architecture. The major benefits are listed below:
 With the implementation of enterprise information architecture it becomes easy to
maintain accurate data along with operational data. This provides a simplified way for
maintaining the data.
 EIA also offers a better productivity rate as compared to other components. This
architecture offers a better process for managing the activities effectively.

DATA SYSTEM AND INTEGRATION
 Enterprise information architecture offers an effective way of data sharing that is being
promoted by reducing the data redundancy rate. With the decrease in data redundancy
rate it becomes easy to maintain the data with minimum cost.
 Enterprise architecture also offers an integrated way of managing the acquired data.
The data stored within the organization is mapped in a logical way so that it can provide
a better model and physical data.
 Simplified data packages are offered along with effective information for the
organization. The user can have an effective and accurate data that are placed within
the organization.
 One of the most important benefits that are offered with enterprise information
architecture is that it enables an efficient way of managing the requirements within the
systems. This helps in providing better support towards the association model
maintained by the application. The data stored within the architecture are further being
modified so that it can provide a better benefit towards the operating business model.
There are several factors that influence the architecture of the organization. Thus it is
important for the organization to manage each task effectively so that it can fit into the
organization model. The main reason being implementing new system is that there are
several issues faced with the use of ECM process, the main issue faced with ECM
process is that the data are not being modified properly. The data stored within the
system gets modified without being analysed properly. This leads to impacting the
strategy maintained by the organization.

4.0 Recommendations
Australian federal government mainly aims at developing an effective way of
communication between the citizens and government of the country. In order to achieve this
strategy it is recommended for Australian federal government to develop an e-government
system with the use of EIA RA approach. This will provide an effective way of managing the
tasks related to government and also offers a simplified way of handling them. There are
several development associated with the implementation of e-government system. E-
government system will provide better enhancement towards the process taking place within
the organization. With the implementation of this technology the organization will be able to
communicate efficiently with the citizens. The services will provide better facility towards the
citizens. E-government will help the citizens to reach the government within less time.
5.0 Conclusions
Thus from the above report it can be concluded that EIA RA approach will provide a
better support towards the Australian Federal government. With the implementation of e-
government system the government will achieve better benefits. In addition to this the citizen
of Australia will be able to communicate easily with the government. The report has described
the importance of intelligent enterprise design within the Australian federal government. The
concept of historical reporting has also described in the report. This data are collected from
internal transactional system. The main aim is to develop an Enterprise information
architecture that will provide mutual framework for executing the task. This has also provided
an effective method for sharing the data within the organization. The responsibility is to provide
better privacy towards the information stored within the organization. Thus from the above
discussion it can be concluded that the new e-government system will ensure that all the major
issues faced by the organization are being solved effectively. The effective modification of the
issue will help in connecting with the citizens. The citizen will be able to communicate with
government effectively and with fewer efforts.
