which of the following is the best answer?

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for a chain of convenience stores, operating as a franchise, which has
over 5000 retail outlets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a
week and rely on point-of-sale technology to manage their inventory.
Stores place all orders on-line. The back-office systems collect real-time data to support ordering and product
selection decisions including the tailoring of product assortment based on sales history, customer
demographics as well as the next day’s weather forecast. In many cases, several stores are located in
neighboring areas. This strategy makes distribution to each store cheaper, as well as making multiple deliveries
per day possible.
An Enterprise Architecture practice exists within the company, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. They
have decided to adopt TOGAF 9 within the practice and the first project is to restructure the Enterprise
Architecture so that it can better accommodate the changing strategies within the company and also better
respond to changes in economic and technical environments.
The CIO has stated that the following issues need to be addressed in the restructuring:
The systems should be able to withstand any unforeseen disruptions which might affect day to day
operations. This is highly critical for ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and maintaining and
growing revenue.
Dependencies between the application components, the application platform, and technology infrastructure
should be minimal and well defined. This will facilitate scalability and ease of enhancement of the serviceofferings.
The company is adopting the ARTS Operational Data Model and Data Warehouse Model from the National
Retail Federation. This will address past problems with data quality and inconsistent data.
To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials and if these are
successful, deployed across the retail chain. Information systems must be able to manage changes and
updates without undue delays.
