Nationstate Insurance

List and describe all of the potential benefits (and costs) that Nationstate would realize from the establishment of an enterprise wide architecture as envisioned by Jane Denton?

Upper management will have an improved general picture of the organizational units and systems. By terminating redundancy of customer service, they would have reduced the cost and make savings. With a singular system, communication and collaboration will have been made easier; as well as security management. Introducing more application layers will make implementation of new systems.

With the new system, the firm may lose the units they had established separately. The new system comes with training and implementation charges. If the new system’s policies and standards are not effectively executed, then both management and the staff will have difficulties in working in a big system.

 Build a business case for Seamus O’Malley to present to the senior management team at Nationstate in order to get their buy-in. In addition to benefits and costs, the business case must answer the “what’s in it for me” question that the BU 3presidents all have.

For Nationstate to make advancements in the IT universe, the organization has to establish a singular enterprise system and strategy. The present IT method involves each individual business unit having its own development team. Good ideas and practices developed in one unit tend to remain there. It is hard for upper management to monitor each system, but a centrally managed strategy and enterprise systems could be hindrances for the people working in the units.

O’Malley requires focus on the positive side of advancing to an enterprise system. The business unit architects will listen to him since he will keep his divisional responsibilities. Each department should be inclusive of the business case, with concentration on mitigation, regulatory matters and business opportunities.

He should focus on the following: the units should operate singularly, minimizing of costs, access to the latest technology, risk alleviation, attain the firm’s goals and how the new system will be advantageous to all (McKeen & Smith, 2012).
