Architecture as a Service for developing a detailed Enterprise Resource Planning Strategy
1 day ago
Role Overview
IP Australia is seeking to engage an experienced Architecture as a Service (AaaS) provider to partner with the Agency in developing a contemporary Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) strategy and roadmap. The provider will work closely with key stakeholders to understand business and technology requirements, analyse current and future state needs, and assess relevant industry trends. The engagement will culminate in costed, evidence-based strategic recommendations to inform future direction and investment decisions in ERP platforms.
This engagement is advisory in nature only. The purchase, delivery, and ongoing support of ERP systems is explicitly out of scope.
Key Responsibilities- Stakeholder Engagement: Lead structured workshops, consultations, and discovery sessions with internal and external stakeholders to elicit requirements, pain points, and aspirations.
- Current State Analysis: Assess the Agency's existing ERP and related systems, including technology architecture, business processes, integration points, and data flows.
- Future State Design: Define a target ERP architecture aligned with agency objectives, industry best practice, and whole-of-government strategies.
- Strategic Advice: Provide independent, timely, and well-informed advice on ERP options, risks, opportunities, and industry trends.
- ERP Roadmap Development: Deliver a sequenced roadmap that outlines milestones, dependencies, and resourcing implications.
- Costed Recommendations: Prepare high-level cost estimates, commercial options, and procurement considerations to support value-for-money decision-making.
- Risk & Challenge Identification: Highlight potential risks, constraints, and challenges (technical, financial, operational) and propose risk-mitigation strategies.
- Governance & Alignment: Ensure recommendations are consistent with ERP governance frameworks, compliance obligations, and financial management practices in the Australian Government context.
