Information and Communication Technology Standard

Question: Discuss about the Information and Communication Technology Standard. Answer: Introduction: AS-8015 is an Australian standard that would be utilized during the internship which has been defined for the corporate governance of information and communication technology (ICT). The standard would be applicable as there are a number of different components and entities that would be involved associated with ICT. These entities will also interact with each other and exchange information and it would be necessary to monitor and manage the same. AS-8015 provides the guidelines and mechanisms to perform the same which would be utilized during various activities carried out during the internship. The application of the standard would be carried out in the form of various principles on which A8015 is based upon which include the establishment of well defined responsibilities, design and planning of ICT in such a manner that it would support the organization in the best possible manner, gain the validity in terms of ICT, ensure that the performance of ICT is not compromised at any level , adherence to the rules and regulations that are applicable and human factors are respected and considered at all times. AS8015 would make sure that the governance is applied accurately and would also make the tasks of the senior management and administrative units much easier. AS-8015 has not been defined for a specific domain under ICT and therefore it would be easier to apply the standard in the project during the internship to make sure that the project activities are executed and managed accurately and adhere to the defined guidelines as well (Wibowo, 2008).
