devise a plan to implement the architecture in a way that minimises disruption to processes and systems.
| 5 | Module Overview |
| In this module, you learn how to integrate disparate systems that form part of as modern enterprise. The process starts by understanding the business processes and existing supporting IT systems in use in the business before assessing whether these systems need to be replaced, amended or integrated as-is. Part of this will require an understanding of data, data formats and equivalency between disparate systems and the challenges of mapping this from one system to another and tools and techniques to deal with this. Taking this onward, you will learn how to design an IT architecture that supports the gathered requirements in a sustainable and maintainable way. Once the design has been developed, you will devise a plan to implement the architecture in a way that minimises disruption to processes and systems.
Relationship to programme philosophy: This module provides an opportunity for the student to develop knowledge and skills, which will contribute to the acquisition of key BCU graduate attributes; creative problem solvers, global outlook, enterprising, professional and work-ready. In the context of computing and data communication, this means an ability to respond to a critical brief to find practical solutions to problems; evaluate and respond to the opportunities and challenges of interdisciplinary approaches to the realisation of a task; respond flexibly and imaginatively to a set, or group-determined brief within a fixed timescale.
