Scenario: Vittronics Ltd.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Vittronics Ltd. is a leading medical device manufacturer in the highly competitive market for Migraine Headache
Pain Management (MHPM) devices. These tiny wireless devices are implanted in the brain and can deliver a
precise electric shock when the wearable Pain Control Unit (PCU) detects an increase in stress induced by the
onset of a migraine headache.
This technology will be a breakthrough in the treatment of this condition, and several competitors are striving to
be the first to introduce a product into the market. However, all of them must demonstrate the effectiveness and
safety of their products in a set of clinical trials that will satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in
the target markets.
The Enterprise Architecture group at Vittronics has been engaged in an architecture development project to
create a Secure Private Immersive Collaborative Environment (SPICE) that will allow researchers at its product
development laboratories worldwide to share information about their independent clinical trials.
The Vittronics Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization that has been utilizing TOGAF for several
years. They have recently upgraded to TOGAF 9. The Vittronics Architecture Development Method (VADM) is
strictly based on the TOGAF 9 Architecture Development Method (ADM) with extensions required to support
current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets.
The SPICE project team has now completed the Business, Information Systems, and Technology Architecture
phases and has produced a complete set of deliverables for each phase. Due to the highly sensitive nature of
the information that is managed in SPICE, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain
included an examination of the security and privacy issues that are relevant for each domain. A corresponding
SPICE Security Architecture has been defined.
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. He has
stated that the changes to the SPICE architecture will need to be rolled out on a geographic basis that will
minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. The work will need to be done in stages and rolled out in
geographical regions.

Scenario: Rollins Manufacturing
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Rollins Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio withmanufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these plants has been
operating its own Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRPII) system, production scheduling, and custom
developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
Rollins 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 MRPII 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 Rollins Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, welldeveloped 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 MRPII 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 Rollins Manufacturing Scenario
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect of the newly-formed Common ERP Deployment architecture
project team.
As the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team assembles for its initial meeting, many of the
participants have voiced concerns about the sweeping scope of the initiative. Others are confident that they
know a solution that will work. During the meeting, a number of alternative recommendations for how to
proceed are put forward by members of the team.
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates
different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.

Scenario: Zephyr Enterprises
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Zephyr Enterprises specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial
wind energy production systems. Zephyr has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California,
Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Ontario. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds
and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturers design
specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However,
recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision
application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in
strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. Zephyr has pioneered the development of a proprietary
automated process for continuous 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 cross-functional Architecture
Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise
Architecture program.
Zephyr has used TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated
manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies.
They have recently updated to TOGAF 9 and have adapted the Zephyr Enterprise Architecture to closely follow
the TOGAF 9 framework. All of Zephyrs IT architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF 9.Recently, an
architecture project was completed that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated Test System
that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The
Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy the new
Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a
uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.
Refer to the Zephyr Enterprises Scenario:
You have been assigned by the Lead Architect for the Automated Test System controller project to conduct
Compliance Assessments at each manufacturing plant.
During the course of the assessment at the Omaha plant, you discover that the Distributed Data Acquisition
System they have purchased uses a proprietary Remote Procedure Call (RPC) that utilizes kernel mode
threads instead of the user mode threads that are specified in the Architecture Definition Document. In all other
respects, the system meets the requirements stated in the Architecture Definition Document and seems to
perform correctly.
You have been asked to describe the compliance of this system for the final report.

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.

Scenario: AGEX Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
AGEX is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a series of
acquisitions.
Each new 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, AGEX has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to
consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The Corporate Board
is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to manage and safeguard customer information in a
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 offered to clients and trading
partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to
coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the business unit personnel who will be involved
in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Review Board to oversee
and govern the architecture.
After reviewing the available alternatives, and based on recommendations from the ERP vendor, AGEX has
selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program.
The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the AGEX Inc. Scenario
You are serving as the Chief Architect.
You have been asked to recommend the approach to take in the Preliminary Phase to ensure that the
Corporate Board’s concern is addressed.

Scenario: Global Mobile 1
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Global Mobile is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of mergers and acquisitions.
They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for the most recent acquisitions, and as result,
customer service has been a major concern for the Chief Technology Officer.
Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and the customer
retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average. The Corporate Marketing group has published
some new findings about customer satisfaction. The customers appear to be switching to Air Light, a
competitor, because of superior customer service. Global Mobile actually has better coverage in nearly all
markets than Air Light, and good roaming agreements that keep rates low for business travelers. But, customer
satisfaction has remained low.
The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a high-level project to
develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan. They have developed a business scenario which contains a good
conceptual model of what needs to be done, and also identifies the key requirements. This was used in
preparing the proposal presented to the Executive Council and the Corporate Board.
The planning for the program has been underway for several months. Global Mobile has selected TOGAF 9 as
the basis for its Enterprise Architecture.
The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition to a packaged
Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take five years to complete, but there
are some tactical projects that can commence immediately to address the situation. The Corporate Board has
placed one additional major constraint on the program. In addition to achieving the business outcomes directly
related to improving overall customer service within each business unit, the Corporate Board expects the
Target Architecture to produce an additional saving of at least 30% over current operating costs through energy
efficiency initiatives, virtualization of servers and workstations, and expanded telecommuting and desk-sharing.
This Green initiative is intended to become a model for future investments at all company facilities worldwide.
