QuestionQ61
The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2Carter Woods, a global furniture company, wants to improve its sales-force efficiency by replacing legacy configuration and ordering systems, which rely on manual and paper-based processes, with an online ordering platform.
Carter Woods uses the TOGAF 9 Architecture Delivery Method. The CIO sponsored this work, and the Baseline Architecture was defined during the initial iteration, defining the approach, scope, and architectural vision, including these Data-domain architecture principles:
- Data is an asset.
- Data is shared.
- Data is accessible.
Business analysis of the assumed replacement of the legacy systems with a centralized online system raised the following main concerns:
- Identify changes to existing business processes.
- Identify the data entities that can be shared among sales agents.
- Clarify how to keep the data secure.
- Identify the list of non-sales applications to be integrated with the sales applications.
As Lead Enterprise Architect, you need to identify the architecture viewpoints most appropriate for addressing the concerns above.
- A Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and a Process/Event/Control/Product catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, a Data Entity/Data Component catalog and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Interface catalog. Define the Technology Architecture via a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
- B Depict the Business Architecture using a Business Interaction matrix and a Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a Data Lifecycle diagram and a Data Migration diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using a Software Engineering diagram. Depict the Technology Architecture using a Communications Engineering diagram.
- C Depict the Business Architecture using a Business Footprint diagram and a Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a Data Migration diagram, System/Data matrix and Data Lifecycle diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Application Communication diagram. Depict the Technology Architecture using a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
- D Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, Data Entity/Business Function matrix and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Application Interaction matrix. Define the Technology Architecture via a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
