Product: Report - Draft
Format: Report Question
Informatics has a very important role in organisations and an understanding of how informatics can help an organisation achieve goals is vital. In this report you are asked to identify key characteristics outlined as classic themes in informatics and relate them to existing people, processes and technology in a contemporary organisation. As this initial report will form the foundation of the second assignment report in which you are asked to analyse a case study of your own choosing, you may use the same organisation for the second assignment.
This is an individual assessment and needs to be submitted electronically through SafeAssign.
Criteria • Identify how the classic themes of informatics relate to various technologies within an organisation.
• Demonstrate an awareness of how the identified technologies fit into the goals of the organisation
