A regional accounting and analytics firm headquartered in Seattle, WA has built a profitable
business selling a portfolio of financial services to several large local enterprises. The company’s
flagship applications process large volumes of enterprise-internal financial data within IT
operations.

in the Far East.

for ITaaS transformation. They are seeking guidance on a suitable IT governance model.

A.
Distributed by geography, to address different regional regulations
B.
Hybrid by location and application, to eliminate silos and promote growth
C.
Federated by application, to ensure creation of customized services for each application
D.
Centralized at headquarters, to maximize security and minimize compliance risk
I think C is the right answer, Read s similar question on EMC website:
A large enterprise has corporate headquarters in New York. The Board of Directors and senior management for all departments, plus Legal, Finance, and IT are based there.
Manufacturing is done in several countries around the world. The Sales and Marketing organization operates in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Engineering and Product Design are located in Germany.
The company wishes to establish IT governance. Which model is most likely to be successful in this environment, and why?
Centralized in New York, because all the corporate management and IT are there
Federated by line of business with governance authority in New York, because there are several lines of business and geographic locations
Distributed across the US, Asia, and Europe, because of differing regional regulations
Hybrid by geographic location and line of business, because the lines of business and regional regulations are likely to all require different services
