NEW QUESTION 8

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft program. Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. The company is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program.
To achieve this goal, the company needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. These architectures must address key stakeholders' concerns such as:
* 1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
* 2. What current applications do those groups use?
* 3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications?
* 4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What
non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
* 5. What data will need to be shared?
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle. The company is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.

NEW QUESTION 14

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Chief Architect for a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a single enterprise-wide application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The application will be used by all business units and accessed by suppliers through well defined interfaces.
Refer to the Scenario
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you are developing a set of architecture principles to guide the activities.
You need to specify the best approach for this work.

NEW QUESTION 15

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is that of the Lead Enterprise Architect at a multinational automotive corporation. The company is headquartered in Germany, and manufactures cars, trucks and buses. It has manufacturing plants across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
The company has an ongoing initiative to improve the efficiency of all of its production operations, and in particular to reduce its carbon footprint. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in energy usage could be achieved by replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in one central data center. This central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities.
The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF standard.
At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the global CIO. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
The architecture project team has now been formed, and has been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and benefits. Some of the plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of driving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The CIO wants to know how these concerns can be addressed. During the initial project team meeting a number of alternative recommendation for how to proceed have been put forward by members of the team.
