Theturbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturers design specifications.Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforcedplastics. However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhancedautomated methods for precision application of materials during the molding process, haveled to significant reduction in weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved bladelongevity. Zephyr has pioneered the development of a proprietary automated process forcontinuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the process,but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.Zephyr has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a crossfunctional Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the ChiefOperating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.Zephyr has used TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop itsautomated manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture,and test the blade assemblies. They have recently updated to TOGAF 9 and have adaptedthe Zephyr Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of ZephyrsIT architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF 9.Recently, an architecture projectwas completed that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated TestSystem that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on eachcompleted blade assembly. The Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan forimmediate implementation at each plant.An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement anddeploy the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of theactivity, has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensureconsistency.Refer to the Zephyr Enterprises ScenarioYou are the Lead Architect for this activity.You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the ChiefEngineer's concern.Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

ScenarioPlease read this scenario prior to answering the questionYour role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational semiconductor andsoftware design company. Its largest business is in processors, although it also designssystem-on-a-chip infrastructure and manufactures memory chips. A characteristic featureof its processors is their low electric power consumption, which makes them particularlysuitable for use in portable devices. As well as licensing its technology, the company hasseveral manufacturing divisions.The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF Standard forthe basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has anumber of management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/projectmanagement, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.The company has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet customerdemand and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture calledfor the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that havebeen operating independently in the divisions' production facilities. The goal is to replacethe functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP product running as a singleinstance in the company's primary data center.Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailorand configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes andimplementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which hasidentified the gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains.Based on the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed the requirements,dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERPenvironment into the existing environment. The architects have completed the BusinessTransformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A. Based on all of these factorsthey have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the Implementation andMigration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessmentdeliverables.Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has beendetermined that a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. Theoverall implementation process is estimated to take several years.Refer to the ScenarioYou have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementationand Migration Plan.Based on TOGAF Standard Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

ScenarioPlease 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 Standard Version 9.2 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 ScenarioAs 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 workBased on TOGAF Standard Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?
