MightyGears produces components for the Car industry. Driven by the global financial downturn
they are looking to reduce IT costs. They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this
is not quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there an agreed target architecture. Final
decisions on the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed the first pass architecture
and now are looking at the best opportunities and solutions to meet their financial goals.
You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by
MightyGears and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on the opportunities and
solutions present.
Refer to the scenario above
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends examining the
opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board?
Choose one of the following answers

Which of the following is a true statement about the TOGAF Technical Reference Model?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational semiconductor and software
design company. Its largest business is in processors, although it also designs system-on-a-chip
infrastructure and manufactures memory chips. A characteristic feature of its processors is their low
electric power consumption, which makes them particularly suitable for use in portable devices. As
well as licensing its technology, the company has several manufacturing divisions.
The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its
architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management
frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations
management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
The company has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet customer demand
and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the
consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating
independently in the divisions’ production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the
existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single instance in the company’s primary
data center.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and
configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation
constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the
Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the
architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed
to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed
the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A.
Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the
Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability
Assessment deliverables.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined
that a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall
implementation process is estimated to take several years.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and
Migration Plan.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?
