You are employed as an Enterprise Architect within a multinational company. The
company has been very successful and has been buying companies around the
world. This has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in various
locations with a complex supply chain.
The top management recently expressed concerns about the company ' s effectiveness
because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has
been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain
issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer
demand.
A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage
the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining
different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used
separately in the company ' s production sites.
Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their
own specific manufacturing needs. The Enterprise Architects have agreed an overall
strategy for the migration. They have defined a set of work packages that address the
gaps found. They have defined the intermediate architectural states between the
Baseline and Target architecture to add a new ERP environment into the company.
Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the
architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement
the target architecture with several stages of change. They have created a draft
roadmap with the implementation process estimated to take over two years.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the
TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various
management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management,
and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information
Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work
