INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE DESIGN AND EIA RA
1.0 Introduction
Intelligent enterprise architecture may be defined as the effective design procedure
of the organizational structure for a specified organization. This architecture or design also
includes the business processes, IT Infrastructure as well as the information systems of an
organization. Most of the enterprises are using the Information Systems to cope with the
complexities that can arise in an organization for the achievement of their specified goals.
In this case, the architecture plan is to be specified for the Australian Federal
Government describing the benefits of the implementation of the intelligent enterprise
architecture as well as the EIA RA (Enterprise Information Architecture Reference
Architecture) for the development of the E-Governing System for Australia.
This report is divided into two phases. The first phase deals with the intelligent
enterprise architecture plan and the second phase deals with the EIA RA. The first phase
clearly puts a reflection for the implementation of the intelligent enterprise design and the
second phase deals with the Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture of
the connected government as well as with the framework of the implemented systems.
2.0 Intelligent Enterprise Design
The future business vision as viewed for the implementation of the E-Government
System in Australia deals with many aspects that needs focus. By the year 2020, the
Australian Government wants the interaction with the people of Australia to be seamless in
everyday life. With the implementation of this intelligent architecture, the people of
Australia should be provided with an easy access to the streamlined services that are
offered by the Government (Farwick et al., 2016). The Government of Australia wants to
implement the architecture as an open source so that the decisions as well as the
preferences of the people can be easily justified and constant interaction with the
government is maintained (Zhou and Cao, 2018). The collaboration of the individuals,
businesses, communities of Australia with the Government is an active methodology that is
focused regarding the implementation of the intelligent enterprise design. This efficient
design will help the operations of the Government to be more responsive, much integrated
in respect to the services as offered by them. Moreover, it can be said that with the
implementation of this design the interactive methodology will be very helpful for both the
Government as well as for the People of Australia.
The evolution of the Information Analysis Systems primarily focuses on different
Focus Areas that are based on three different methodologies that is Historical Reporting,
Sense and Respond as well as Anticipate and Shape (Harsh and Ichalkaranje, 2015). The two
focus areas for the evolution of the Information Analysis in the intelligent enterprise design
are chosen as “Events” and “Performance and Risks”. This two focus areas are explained
clearly in the below section.
2.1 Function 1: Events
The historical report for this function is said to be the aspect of the identification as
well as the analysis of the fact that arises in the overall organization. This events deal with

INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE DESIGN AND EIA RA
time analysis of the events that are happening in the organization as well as the events that
can happen in the near future with respect in real time basis. The events are tracked down
in a timely basis and the sophisticated responses are provided rapidly to avoid the heuristic
events. The anticipation and shape stage for these events are said to be the necessary things
that an organization needs to focus for avoiding such events that can hamper the
performance of an organization (Rouhani et al., 2015). These events needs to be focused
and identified before the emergence such events. This will enhance the time regarding the
performance of the organization.
2.2 Function 2: Performance and Risks
This important area needs core focus for the implementation of the intelligent
enterprise design. This area focuses on the measurement of the performance in the
organization as well as measures the minimum risk factors that can occur in an organization.
This is the historical report as analysed by the Government of Australia in the information
system analysis of the E-Governing System (Lapalme et al., 2016). However, the next phase
deals with the actions that are adapted by the organization after the risks has already been
viewed in the implementation of the E-Governing system. The anticipation methodology for
this functional area is said to be the actions that are needed for the mitigation of the risks
emerged in the organization. These mitigation strategies for the already occurred risks are
said to enhance the performance of the services as provided by the organization.
As per the discussion of the above stated functional areas, it can be stated that the
events as well as the performance and risks are well connected to each other. This outcome
has come out as the analysis of the information system implementation. The Intelligent
enterprise design implementation in the e-government system of Australia can come out
with many such events that can be readily said to be the situations of the emergence of the
risks (Dang and Pekkola, 2017). These risks may be indicated as such events for which
actions need to be taken for the mitigation of such risks. The implemented actions on such
risks will enhance the performance of the implemented information system. Hence, these
two functional areas must be kept a serious focus during the implementation of the
information system for E-Governing system of Australia.
3.0 Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture
The Government as well as the Government services of Australia are driven by
information. The Government of Australia dynamically and constantly collects as well as
processes the data for developing the information, which are necessary for their specific
missions (Burégio, Maamar and Meira, 2015). The Enterprise Information Architecture
actually works as a model or the framework that will enhance the collection of the data and
accessing the data. This can be further said that this information can be used to figure out
critical decisions and then support the persons that are facilitated by it. The Enterprise
Information Architecture may be said as a tool that enhances the connection of the mission
of the business as well as the strategy of an organization towards the implementation of the
Information systems (Zimmermann et al., 2015). The EIA framework consists of three
components that should be taken in consideration for the implementation of the
Information Systems in the E-Governing System of Australia. The below provided image
describes about the information about the E-Governing System assets of data.

The benefits of the Enterprise Information Architecture in respect to the
implementation of the Intelligent Information Systems in the E-Governing System of
Australia is discussed as follows:
Enterprise Architecture Simplification: The Enterprise Information Architecture provide
benefits to the operation of business with much lower costs. Moreover, this architecture
helps to distribute the capabilities of the employees in such a manner that the performance
of the organization is enhanced. This also reduces the management costs that are needed
for carrying out the operations in the business (Whittle and Myrick, 2016). This enhances
the workforce to be more flexible for the employees present in the organization. The
production of the organization is also enhanced with the implementation of this
architecture. This architecture also allows the reduction of the redundancies in the
organization to improve the productivity of the business.
Enhanced Effective IT operation: EIARA enhances the development procedure as well as
maintenance cost of the softwares. It also increases the portability feature of the
applications. The implementation of the EIARA improves the interoperability of the
organization. In case of the Australian E-Governing systems, with the implementation of the
EIARA, the people as well as the management of Australia will very easily access the system
(Romero and Vernadat, 2016). Hence, the management of network is also enhance with the
implementation of this architecture.
Effective Management: The implementation will help the Government to identify the
consolidated areas and then accordingly reduce the costs (Giachetti, 2016). This also
enhances the capability of decision making which will lead the Government to enhance the

benefits from the imposed innovation thus managing the activity for transforming of the
business.
Thus, it can be said that the approach, Enterprise Information Architecture
Reference Structure, once implemented in the Australian E-Government Systems will not
just fix one type of issues, but will identify maximum number of risks that are present in the
existing system (Srinivasan, 2016). Hence, it must be implied by the Government of Australia
to enhance the quality of the planning procedure. Moreover, the customized
implementation of this system will put a great positive impact in the services as provided by
the Government.
The customization of the Enterprise information Architecture is needed in the case
of the E-Government Systems of Australia. This includes the following things:
Instrumented: The wide usage of the automatic sensors for the continued monitoring of the
common people, materials, and environment as well as of the assets is to be implemented
which will help the government to overcome any emergencies in the country.
Interconnected: The interconnections among the value chains of the overall architecture is
vary much needed. Moreover, the connections of all the stakeholders are also needed for
the effective success of this architecture in the country of Australia.
Intelligent: The architecture must be intelligently implemented so that the analytics are
much advanced for the enhanced decision-making (Lin et al., 2015). This service should
reduce the involvement of humans in the decision-making procedure.
The Enterprise Information Architecture when implemented in the business strategy
for the E-Government systems of Australia ensures a strong integrated bond between the
different layers of the organization that are likely to be information, application, business as
well as infrastructure. These layers are briefly described as follows:

4.0 Enterprise Information Architecture Framework
The Enterprise Information Architecture Framework for the connected Government
of Australia is based on different dimensions and these dimensions have different impact on
the various sections of the Government Services.
The framework for the connected government is displayed in the below figure:
Figure 2: Assets of data in EIA RA
(Source: Safari, Faraji and Majidian, 2016)
This framework mainly focuses on the four determining areas of the e-governing
systems for the implementation of the connected government in Australia (van Steenbergen
and Versendaal, 2018).
Functional area: This area is based on the area of where, when and how the
implementation is associated with the governing systems.
Informational area: This area focuses on the area of the information that is collected
regarding the citizens as well as the events happening in Australia.
Organizational area: This associates with the persons working on behalf of the Government
of Australia.
Infrastructure: This area deals with the total infrastructure of the whole framework of the
connected government systems.
Based on the proposed architectural framework the different dimensions as well as
the impact of the dimensions are provided below:
DIMENSION IMPACT
Citizen Centricity
The implementation of the e-government
system, the Government of Australia will be
able to identify the requirements of the
citizen and then cope with their
expectations.
