    Scenario: Armstrong Defense Industries
    Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Armstrong Defense Industries is the prime contractor for the Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft System program.
    Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. Armstrong Defense is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program.
    To achieve this goal, Armstrong Defense needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. 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 many existing 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 procurement applications?
    6.What data will need to be shared?
    At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative. All assets need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
    The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle.
    Armstrong Defense is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.

    Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated with the PMO, Systems Development, and
    Operations functions.

    Scenario:
    Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
    Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within a vacation property management firm that has been growing through acquisition. The firm manages over 200 resort properties across North America. Many of the resort properties use the same internal IT systems that they used before they were acquired. Until recently, the only requirement that has been placed on each property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis.
    The CEO has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and identified the need to change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business by standardizing its operations across the network to provide consolidated financial, human resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and yield management. He has also stated that he expects results by the end of the current fiscal year.
    These changes will provide the company with improved utilization of its capacity and more efficient operations. The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising into key markets to improve yields.
    The firm has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
    In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed to implement the CEO's vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing the entire firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations.
