Critical Analysis
Congratulations! You have just been hired as the Information Systems Manager of a successful
multinational software services provider with offices in cities across the globe. You provide major
software transaction services to News Paper industry to incorporate the digital economy (based on
digital transformation, which is your specialisation). Your services include wide range of services to
be able to provide one window solutions for digital transformation, such as data capture, data
management, data analytics and data transcription are just few to mentioned hear.
Due to the volumes of data going through your organisation, the CEO approached you to provide an
initial report on digital transformation for the news paper industry and management such systems

The assignment should be thoroughly researched, with evidence provided through references.
The CEO is keen to see a well argued case, highlighting insights as to the above 6 key
aspects, and would like to see strong points arguing your case as to the infrastructure
requirements and best-practice.
As this domain is new to the CEO, he is not able to provide too many details and expect you
to conduct whatever research is required in arriving at the report. When you conduct your
research, you will map the content researched to your course weekly materials so that what
has been taught can be applied. This mapping will be presented as a table in an Appendix (see
later in submission)
The assignment will have three additional submission components in an appendix in addition
to the 6 key aspects. They are:
