Formulate a plan to implement IT architecture. Assessment Details: Title: Integration delivery plan Style: In person progress vivas and presentation Rationale: All organisations have disparate electronic systems that hold isolated pockets of data. On their own, the systems are useful, but integrated systems offer huge advantages in savings of time, money and reduced errors. In this assessment you will apply the skills gained in this module to develop a plan to integrate two such information systems. Description: The University of Southern Basingstoke wishes to integrate its student record system (SRS) with its virtual learning environment (VLE). The University has 10,000 students and 700 members of staff. The SRS is a COTS product, that has been customised for their use by a third-party integrator. This supports all records regarding students such as contact details, enrolments, fees, marks and attendance data. This is the authoritative source of this data. As it currently stands, all data is entered manually into the system, irrespective of its source. The SRS is managed and run the by the University registry. The VLE is where all student teaching takes place. Learning materials are available from this platform, and assessments are submitted electronically. Marks and feedback are delivered back to the student using this platform. Currently, academics must manually transcribe the marks from this system into a spreadsheet which is then further manually transcribed into the SRS. The VLE is run by the University Learning Technology Team. The proposed system will communicate mark data from the VLE to the SRS. It must take into account business rules such as the capping of late work and ensure that before the marks are transmitted they have been signed off by a second academic as being accurate. The exact process and method are to be decided by the project itself.
