MedInc Products 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 MedInc Products has been engaged in an architecture development
project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will allow researchers at its product development
laboratories worldwide to share information about their independent clinical trials. The Enterprise Architecture
group is a mature organization that has been utilizing TOGAF for several years. The MedInc Architecture
Development Method is strictly based on TOGAF 9 with extensions required to support current good
manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets. The 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, 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 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 enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out on a

Scenario: Sollace Manufacturing
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Sollace Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with
manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these plants has been
operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed applications thatdrive the automated production equipment at each plant.
Sollace Manufacturing 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 Sollace Manufacturing 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 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 planning and production
scheduling from a central system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns
can be addressed.

Scenario: St. Christopher Consulting
Please read this scenario prior to answering the questionSt. Christopher Consulting started as an accounting and financial services company. It has expanded over the
years and is now a leading North American IT and Business Services provider.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time, overall
engagement management has become challenging. The company does not want to risk its outstanding
reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings. Senior partners must become team players,
working to support the broader needs of the company and its shareholders.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working to create St. Christopher’s Enterprise Architecture
framework to address these issues. The team has defined a preliminary framework and held workshops with
key stakeholders to define a set of principles to govern the architecture work. They have completed an
Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set
out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period.
An Architecture Review Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major
practice areas.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of the Enterprise
Architecture program. The Enterprise Architecture framework is based en TOGAF 9.
As the EA team prepare to formulate an Implementation plan, they have been asked by the CIO to assess the
risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from senior management that the
proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the
attendant risks.

Scenario: Global Traders Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Global Traders 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 headquartersand 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, Global Traders 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.Global Traders 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 Global Traders Inc. Scenario

Acme Widgets Inc. manufactures a variety of small electromechanical devices. As part of a corporate-wide
Lean Manufacturing initiative, it has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet consumer
demand and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the
consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating
independently in several of the divisions’ production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the
existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single instance in the company’s primary data
center.
Acme has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its architecture
framework, [n addition to the EA program, Acme has a number of management frameworks in use, including
business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored
by the CIO.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the
environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints. A
consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the Business, Data,
Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed
the functional requirements and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERP environment
into the existing environment.
Based on all of these factors, the architects have assessed the organization’s readiness to conduct the
business transformation and have produced a risk assessment.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Intrepid Space Industries is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft 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. Intrepid 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, Intrepid 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? What nonprocurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
5. What data will need to be shared?
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so 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. Intrepid is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture
activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.

Scenario: Glacier Ridge LLC
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Glacier Ridge LLC is a vacation property management firm that is growing through acquisition. It 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 in each
property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financials ID 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 Glacier Ridge property 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.
Glacier Ridge has a mature enterprise architecture (EA) 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.
Based on the recommendations from the initial engagement, Glacier Ridge has embraced an Architecture

Scenario: Turbonix Enterprises
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Turbonix Enterprises specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial
wind energy production systems. Turbonix has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California,
Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds
and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer’s 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. Turbonix 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.
Turbonix 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.
Turbonix has used T0GAF 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 adapted their Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of Turbonix’s
enterprise 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.
