Integrated information system development planning at tropical biopharmaca research center using enterprise architecture planning

Abstract

Tropical Biopharmaca Research Center (Trop BRC) of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) is a national research center that has the vision to become an international standard research center. To achieve this vision, Trop BRC IPB has to improve its quality of all aspects, such as by developing an integrated information system. Trop BRC IPB requires an integrated information system to manage its research activities and enterprise data more effectively. This study aims to define the architecture requirement that supports Trop BRC IPB's business process and to guide the development of an information system using Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method and Zachman framework. This study is conducted in the following stages, including preliminary planning, review of an existing enterprise, architectural design, and implementation planning. The results of this study are represented on tables, matrices, and diagrams that define the needs of data architecture, applications, and technology which can be used as a blueprint for applications developer team of Trop BRC IPB to develop and implement an integrated information system.
