This unit is to render students with the SFIA skill for overall governance of how all types of information, are used to support decision making, business processes and digital services, which are required for accreditation by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). This unit is fundamental for students who wish to obtain a major in Business Informatics as it renders to the students an introduction to business processes, information flows, reporting, and data analytics in business. The enterprise systems unit covers competences that enable graduates to participate in planning, building, using, maintaining and evaluating the enterprise systems as a base to move forward in their Business Informatics Major. The concepts studied in this unit are new and evolving, not only when compared to the other units in the University but also when compared to the technology and business field, so a new unit is indeed required to address the skills gap in business informatics education.

This unit will be co-taught with unit 11518 Enterprise Systems G.
