Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at 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. The decision has been made 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.
TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for
executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.
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
commercial off the shelf package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project
sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving existing processes or systems.
The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture Capability for this project and
has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. Some tasks to address concerns
related to the Business Architecture have been completed. The next immediate task is to address
the Information Systems Architectures.

The Information Systems Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as:
1. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing
applications?
2. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement
applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams for this
situation.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
in the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application
Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture using a
Data Entity/Data Component catalog. In the later Iterations of the Architecture Definition, you would
describe the Target Application Architecture using Application Communication diagrams and an
Application Interaction matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix.

B.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application
Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and
describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix. In the later iterations of
Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an
Application and User Location diagram and a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline
Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.

C.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application
Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and
describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix and a
System/Data matrix. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the
Baseline Application Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data
Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.

D.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application
Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a
Data diagram. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target
Application Architecture with a System/Technology matrix, and describe the Target Data
Architecture with a Data Dissemination diagram.
