1. Assignment Case Study D GovEDex Disclaimer: The situation described in the following case
study is fictional, and bears no resemblance to any persons, businesses, or organisations, living or
dead. Any such resemblance, if exists, is merely co-incidental in nature, and is not intentional.
GovEDex is a newly formed government agency that will be developing a new service portal that
will collate and present information on a wide range of government grants, subsidies, benefits,
payments, obligations, and any other interactions between government and the public (both
individuals and businesses). The service portal is aimed to be a one-stop-shop for all public facing
government aspects. The terms service portal and portal are generally used interchangeably to
describe this system. The service portal aims to present a unified portal to the public, where all
government services are easily searchable, displaying the relevant information for each service.
For example, for grants and benefits, this includes the eligibility criteria for the grant or benefit, the
amount or value of the grant/benefit (which can be a fixed amount, based on income, or for grants
a percentage contribution towards a project), and the application process. The service will
automatically generate forms for users to complete if they wish to apply for the grant/benefit,
including uploading any additional documentation (e.g. payslips, project budget, etc) as needed.
Users will register their bank account details with the service portal for receiving payments from
the government. For each grant/benefit, each user can only apply once, but each user can apply
for many different grants/benefits. The application can be updated and resubmitted, but is still
linked to that particular combination of user and grant/benefit. Users can be companies or
individuals, with the relevant details required by the service portal varying between the two as
appropriate. For example, companies should have their unique company number (which is also an
example of something that can be applied for through the portal!), business address, mailing
address, and other contact details. Individuals would register their full name, residential address,
and other details instead. The service portal will also accept payments for government fees and
charges, such as drivers licence renewals, parking fines, rates, and land tax. Users registered to
the portal are invoiced as needed for these fees and charges, and receive electronic receipts in
the service portal (and optionally by email) when the payments are received. Other than
applications and payments, another key part of the service portal is a library of commonly asked
questions and answers, leading to information about everything about the government. These
answers can be contained within the portal, or be links to other government websites where
needed. GovEDex would like to use AI technologies to direct users to appropriate departments
and agencies of the government, even when the question/answer is not specifically contained in
the Q&A for example, if a users question is about tax then it should direct the user to the tax office
for further information, even if the service portal doesnt have the specific answer or a specific link.
The new portal will be deployed in both a website format and as a mobile application. Due to
government cybersecurity and privacy requirements, although they are keen for the service portal
to be cloud-hosted in an easily scalable system, this has not yet been decided upon due to
concerns such as data storage location, data transfer, and encryption. 11486 Systems Analysis

analyst, you have been tasked with analysing and modelling the new service portal and its
features and functions, in order for GovEDex to make further decisions regarding its capabilities
and functionality. It is anticipated that as part of this process, some further investigative work with
