NEW QUESTION 4

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are the Lead Architect for a firm that manufactures ball bearings used in industrial equipment applications. They have manufacturing operations in several cities in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
The firm has traditionally allowed each manufacturing plant to drive its own production planning systems. Each plant has its own custom Materials Requirements Planning, Master Production Scheduling, Bill of Materials, and Shop Floor Control systems.
"Just In Time" manufacturing techniques are used to minimize wastes caused by excessive inventory and work in process. The increasingly competitive business environment has compelled the firm to improve its business capability to be more responsive to the needs of industrial customers. To support this capability, the firm has decided to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will enable it to better coordinate its manufacturing capacity to match the demands for its products across all plants. In addition, there are also new European regulations coming into force to which their manufacturing processes must conform in the next six months.
As part of the implementation process, the Enterprise Architecture (EA) department has begun to implement an architecture process based on TOGAF 9. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. The Chief Architect has directed that the program should include formal modeling using the Architecture Content Framework and the TOGAF Content Metamodel. This will enable support for the architecture tooling that the firm uses for its EA program.
The Chief Architect has stated that in order to model the complex manufacturing process it will be necessary to model processes that are event-driven. Also, in order to consolidate applications across several data centers it will be necessary to model the location of IT assets. In particular, the end goal is to have the single ERP application running in a single data center.
Currently the project is in the Preliminary Phase, and the architects are tailoring the Architecture Development Method (ADM) and Architecture Content Framework to fit into the corporate environment.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend a response to the Chief Architect's request to tailor the TOGAF Content Metamodel.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Infrastructure Consolidation extensions into their tailored Content Metamode
• B. As the environment is process-centric this will enable them to model the manufacturing processes and store information to support regulatory complianc
• C. It also includes views useful for managing the consolidation of applications into a single data center.
• D. You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Governance extensions into their tailored Content Metamode
• E. This is suitable as this is a significant IT change that will impact its operational model
• F. This will ensure that they include specific entities and attributes that will allow them to model the event-driven nature of the manufacturing processes more precisely.
• G. You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Governance and Motivation Extensions into their tailored Content Metamode
• H. This would allow modeling of the target milestones they want to achieve with this consolidation of application to a single data cente
• I. These extensions will also enable demonstration of regulatory compliance for the manufacturing process.
• J. You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Data and Services Extensions into their tailored Content Metamode
• K. This would allow modeling of the location of IT assets and ensure regulatory compliance for the manufacturing proces
• L. It will also allow for identification of redundant duplication of capability which will be needed for a successful consolidation to a single data center.

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION 5

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the same names and division headquarters as their predecessors.
The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities to leverage the synergies that should have been possible as a result of the merger. At present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division has different ways of defining 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 common web portal, contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services in cooperation with its partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an existing team of security architects.
TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
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 recommend the best approach for this work. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You would review the mission statements for the company and its divisions, together with the corporate business goals and business driver
• B. Based on that review, you would work closely with the key stakeholders and the Architecture Board to define the architecture principle
• C. You would ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the corporate business strategie
• D. You would then hold review meetings with the relevant stakeholders, including senior management, ensuring their support.
• E. You would gather information from credible industry sources in the insurance busines
• F. Based on that information, you would assess current trends and apply them to defining a set of principles that embody best practice
• G. You would select architecture principles that do not conflict with each other and that should be stabl
• H. You would ensure that all the principles are realistic and avoid including principles that are too obvious.
• I. You would analyze the mission statements for the company and each of its divisions, together with the corporate business goal
• J. Based on that analysis, you would define a set of architecture principles and review them with the CI
• K. When developing the principles, you would ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the business strategies and initiatives of the compan
• L. You would then seek the endorsement of the CIO and senior management.
• M. You would define a set of principles that support the preferred best practices embodied in the Enterprise Architecture department charte
• N. You would publish the principles on the corporate intranet to ensure widespread acceptance and complianc
• O. You would then schedule regular periodic Compliance Assessments with each of the divisions to check that they have made satisfactory progress toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the principles.

The ABC company is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of mergers and acquisitions. They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for the most recent acquisitions, and as result, customer service has been a major concern for the Chief Technology Officer. Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and the customer retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average.
The Corporate Marketing group has published some new findings about customer satisfaction. The customers appear to be switching to AirLight, a competitor, because of superior customer service. The company actually has better coverage in nearly all markets than AirLight, and good roaming agreements that keep rates low for business travelers. But, customer satisfaction has remained low. The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a high-level project to develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan.
They have developed a business scenario which contains a good conceptual model of what needs to be done, and also identifies the key requirements. This was used in preparing the proposal presented to the Executive Council and the Corporate Board. The planning for the program has been underway for several months. The company has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture. The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition to a packaged Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take five years to complete, but there are some tactical projects that can commence immediately to address the situation.
