Scenario: Summer Seeds BV
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Summer Seeds BV is an international agricultural company exporting bulbs, flowers and seeds worldwide. It is headquartered in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and has sales and distribution centers in over 60 countries worldwide. Several of these centers include administrative, manufacturing, and research facilities. To achieve full integration of their research capabilities with their development centers located in various climate zones, the company wants to develop strong self directed teams in each location. It also wants to define new business models that are profitable while reducing their impact on the environment. The management is deeply committed to ensuring that the company is a world leader in socially responsible seed development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability through environmentally friendly operating processes. Summer Seed's international operations are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. In areas such as genetically modified seeds, governmental controls are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was developing pest-resistant seeds. The Governing Board is concerned, and as a result has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. They have requested information about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. They also want to enable the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for a given location. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for its needs. TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the guiding framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice.

Refer to the Summer Seeds BV Scenario

You have been appointed as the Lead Consultant. You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of all these parties. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  1. Depending on the nature of the architecture, a set of models should be created that can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations. Stakeholders should be able to view the models to see that their concerns have been properly addressed.
  2. Each architecture activity should be developed using a consistent modeling approach that is uniform across all architecture projects. Each architecture should be defined based on this fixed set of models so that all concerned parties can examine the models to ensure that their issues and concerns have been addressed,
  3. A stakeholder map should be developed that allows the architects to define groups of stakeholders sharing common concerns. A set of views should then be defined that addresses the concerns for each group- Architecture models can then be created for each view to address the stakeholders' concerns.
  4. For those groups that have sufficient power and level of interest, a special report should be created that summarizes the key features of the architecture with respect to the particular location. Each of these reports should reflect the stakeholders' requirements.

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. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  1. You gather information from credible industry sources in the commodities business. Based on that, you assess current trends and apply that to defining a set of principles that embody best practices. You select architecture principles that do not conflict with each other and that should be stable. You ensure that all the principles are realistic and avoid including principles that are obvious.
  2. You examine the mission statements for the company and each of its businesses, together with the corporate value statements. Based on that, you define a set of principles and review with the CIO. When developing the principles you ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the business strategies and initiatives of the company. You then seek the endorsement of the CIO and senior management.
  3. You define a set of principles that support the preferred best practices embodied in the Enterprise Architecture department charter. You publish the principles on the corporate intranet to ensure widespread acceptance and compliance. You then schedule regular periodic Compliance Assessments with individual business units to check that they have made satisfactory progress toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the principles.
  4. You examine the mission statements for the company and each of its businesses, together with the corporate value statements. Based on that, you work with the Architecture Board to define the principles. When developing the principles you ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the corporate business strategies. You then hold a series of review meetings with all the relevant stakeholders, including senior management, ensuring their support.

Scenario: Sollace Manufacturing
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Sollace Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered In Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. 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.
Sollace Manufacturing is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the efficiency of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in the Cleveland 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. A reduced number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some cases, a third-party contractor could provide those staff. The Sollace Manufacturing 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 9. At a recent meeting, the Architecture Review Board approved a Request for Architecture Work from the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations who is the project sponsor. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation. The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project team 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 central system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.

Refer to the Sollace Manufacturing Scenario

You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for the Common ERP Deployment architecture project. One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program at Sollace Manufacturing was the definition of a set of IT principles and architecture principles that are well aligned with the overall enterprise principles. These now need to be updated to address the concerns raised.

You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a robust solution. [Note: You should assume that Sollace Manufacturing has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.] Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  1. Common-use Applications, Data is Shared, Data is Accessible, Data Security, Interoperability, Control Technical Diversity
  2. Business Continuity, Service-orientation, Data is Accessible, Data Security, Responsive Change Management
  3. Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise, Business Continuity, Common-use Applications, Data is Shared, Data is Accessible, Data Security
  4. Information Management is Everybody's Business, IT Responsibility, Data Trustee, Technology Independence, Responsive Change Management

Raxlon’s CEO, Dr Peter Fowles, is a pharmacology expert and has over 72 patents on various types of drugs mainly used for treating patients with genetic disorders. Raxlon is now moving into a suite of high end critical drug products used for Genetic Repair of congenital Diseases like Alzhmeir’s disease and Epilepsy. Rexlon has a well developed EA practice and in 2009 the EA practice has adopted TOGAF 9 as the primary Framework for Enterprise Architectural Change Agent.

Dr Fowles’ main concerns are:
Security of the critical data which they have gained over the years after painstaking research. Although Rexlon had an adequate security system Dr Fowles feels it may not be adequate to deal with the new order of things, especially with data which is highly confidential and if leaked would have major financial impact on the Company.
Dr Fowles calls his CIO and explains his position to him and entrusts whim with the responsibly of evaluating the current security system, operation and governance and determine which are the gaps which need to be addressed during the fresh architectural work. Assume that a new Security Framework would be used in the ADM life cycle. To protect Rexlon’s valuable IP.
The CIO apprises the Lead Architect of the sensitive nature of the work he has to complete within the next 2 months.

Identify which of the following processes would be most appropriate for the Lead Architect to adopt in this situation.

  1. Identify the sources of threat, review the relevant security statutes, see how disaster recovery can be achieved, find who are the actors vis vis the system and design suitable access control mechanisms, identify critical data and applications and ensure that they are given the highest level of security
  2. First revisit the Preliminary Phase to determine the tailoring of ADM vis a vis Security. Identify any change in the Principles or additions to be carried out. Engage with all Stakeholders to finalize the Vision. Then in Business, Information systems and Technology Architectures ensure the Security Frame work adopted to the ADM addresses all critical security issues. Finally conduct an overall review to assess how effective the security ecosystem designed is and whether it meets the security level desired
  3. Invoke Preliminary Phase and Vision Phase Identify Sources of threat, review and determine revised regulatory, security and assumptions, document them get management buy in , develop business continuity plans especially for critical data operations, assure data, application and technological component security.
  4. Determine who are the people who are hacking into similar organizations, ensure that highly secure measures are taken when external people enter the R&D and manufacturing locations, ensure that there is a very strong firewall so that people cannot get illicit entry into the system, periodically check the effectiveness of the security measures
