Scenario:Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive industry. The company is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and South Korea. 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 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 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 Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. 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 diving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.Refer to the Scenario[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program was the definition of a set of architecture 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 solutionBased on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario: Armstrong Defense IndustriesPlease read this scenario prior to answering the questionArmstrong Defense Industries is the prime contractor for the Dreadnought UnmannedAircraft System program.Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and hasinherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. ArmstrongDefense is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurementprocesses and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leveragehigher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferredsupplier program.To achieve this goal, Armstrong Defense needs to define Baseline and TargetArchitectures. 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 manyexisting applications?4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?5. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurementapplications?6. What data will need to be shared?At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative. Allassets need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefersto implement existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iterationcycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle.Armstrong Defense is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It usesan iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.Refer to the Armstrong Defense Industries ScenarioYou are serving as the Lead Architect.You have been asked to identify the most appropriate architecture viewpoints for thissituation.Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
