Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You have been appointed as a consultant to the Chief Enterprise Architect of a multinational pharmaceutical corporation. The corporation includes 30 subsidiary companies with operations in over 60 countries and products sold in over 125 countries. It has major research and development sites in over 45 locations worldwide.
The management team is deeply committed to ensuring that the corporation is a world leader in socially responsible pharmaceutical development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability through environmentally friendly operating processes as well as a commitment to disease eradication.
The operations of the corporation are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for each country where they operate. The production of prescription pharmaceutical products has governmental controls that are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was conducting a clinical trial for a new regulated drug.
The Governing Board is concerned about the risks posed in this complex global environment. As a result the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to be responsible for overseeing and managing compliance issues for the corporation. The CCO reports directly to the CEO.
The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. He has requested to be informed about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. He also wants the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze all proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for each country. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for its needs.
TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice. The Preliminary Phase has been completed to establish the enterprise architecture capability for this project.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of the Chief Compliance Officer, legal staff, auditors and the research organization.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational company. The
company is organized into independent operational divisions on a national basis. The
company adapts its marketing messaging to fit each culture group, with the adaptation
of product offerings and manufacturing processes in each market.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the
TOGAF standard as the basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA
program, the company has several management frameworks in use, including
business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The
EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
A strategic architecture has been approved that includes consolidation of multiple
applications that have been operating in the production facilities across the divisions.
The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new
application running as a single instance in the company ' s primary data center.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to
integrate the new application to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints have been
confirmed. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the
gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Using the gap
analysis results, a review of the consolidated requirements, dependencies, and
interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new application has been
completed. The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A
has been completed. A risk assessment has been completed.
The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks
posed by the complexity of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to
implement the target architectures. The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the
draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now
complete.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final
Implementation and Migration Plan.
