You are serving as the Lead Architect for an enterprise architecture project team within a leading multinational
pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturer. Its brands include numerous household names for
medications and first aid supplies.
The company has a long history of innovating new treatments for many common illnesses and diseases. Prior
to launching a new treatment, the company has to demonstrate its effectiveness and safety in a set of clinical
trials that satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets. All clinical trials are
undertaken by its research laboratories, which employ over 10,000 people at separate facilities in the United
Kingdom, United States, Sweden, France, Canada, India, China and Japan. In addition to internal research and
development activities the company is also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects, with
other industrial and academic partners.
The Enterprise Architecture group within the company 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 clinical trials. This system will also connect with external
partners.
The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization. They use the TOGAF 9 ADM with extensions
required to support current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets.
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.
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. She
has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out in stages
on a regional basis that minimizes disruptions to ongoing clinical trials.

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect for a firm that produces components and
replacement parts for the automobile, electronics, and telecommunications industries. The firm has been
established for over 70 years. North America has been the primary market for its products, with just 20% of its
output being exported to Europe. The firm is planning to expand its exports to Europe and also to establish
sales in South America and the Asia Pacific region.
The firm is organized into business units that each focus on the different industry sectors. Each business unit
has acquired other producers to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex
environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years.
It has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key standards. The
CIO and the COO are joint sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature, with an active Architecture
Board and a well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the TOGAF 9
Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated with the PMO, Systems
Development, and Operations functions.
The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing organization according to the target
geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve the ability of Marketing to collect more
meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to better address market needs with effective
marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As the
architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm will be able to
adapt to the proposed change and how to manage the associated risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.

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
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you are developing a set of
architecture principles to guide the activities.
You need to recommend the best approach for this work.
