Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the Lead Architect for
an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of three previously independent
companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the same names and division
headquarters as their predecessors. The lack of integration between the three divisions has
increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to
share information has resulted in lost opportunities to leverage the synergies that should have been
possible as a result of the merger. At present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite
an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, and claims
information, each division has different ways of defining 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, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal,
contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a
single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate
information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The application will be used by
each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces. The
Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard
confidential customer information in a secure 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 in cooperation with its partners. The CIO has formed an
Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate
efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has
also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The
company has an existing team of security architects. TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core
framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with
the full support of top management. Refer to the Scenario [Note: You may need to refer to Chapter
35 of the reference text in order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most
appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the next iteration of Architecture
development. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business
Architecture with a Business Service function catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and Data
Lifecycle diagrams. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application
Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix.

B.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Business
Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and a Data
Entity/Business Function matrix. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an
Application/Function matrix.

C.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Business
Architecture with a Baseline Business Process catalog, and an Object lifecycle catalog. You would
describe the Baseline Application Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog.

D.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business
Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog, a Business Interaction matrix, and Product
Lifecycle diagrams. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application
Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix.
