Coordinating Information Systems Assessment Tasks

Introduction

The organization that has been selected for the information system assessments tasks is Community Services Australia Ltd. The community service organization has been providing business problem solution to small and medium size nonprofit organizations in Australia. The Executive Management Team at the organization provides consultation services to client organization. In the given coordination of assessments tasks, information is being collected for a case conference for Australian Community Support Organization.

Plan for gathering information

The purpose of gathering information is to help the client organization Australian Community Support Organization in improving the services they are providing to the disadvantaged members of the society through justice, specialist, disability and employment programs and services.

As concerns the time, the data collection will be done as per the decided schedule.
