Case Study Title (Case Study):
 
Raxlon Inc. is a Fortune 500 Company dealing in high value drugs and pharma products.
Its annual turnover is over 120 billion $. It has more than 100,000 employees all over the
globe in its R&D, Manufacturing and Marketing Units.
 
Raxlon’s CEO, Dr Peter Fowles, is a pharmacology expert and has over 72 patents on
various types of drugs mainly used for treating patients with genetic disorders. Raxlon is
now moving into a suite of high end critical drug products used for Genetic Repair of
congenital Diseases like Alzhmeir’s disease and Epilepsy. Rexlon has a well developed EA
practice and in 2009 the EA practice has adopted TOGAF 9 as the primary Framework for
Enterprise Architectural Change Agent.
 
 
Dr Fowles’ main concerns are:
 
Security of the critical data which they have gained over the years after painstaking
research. Although Rexlon had an adequate security system Dr Fowles feels it may not be
adequate to deal with the new order of things, especially with data which is highly
confidential and if leaked would have major financial impact on the Company.
 
Dr Fowles calls his CIO and explains his position to him and entrusts whim with the
responsibly of evaluating the current security system, operation and governance and
determine which are the gaps which need to be addressed during the fresh architectural
work. Assume that a new Security Framework would be used in the ADM life cycle. To
protect Rexlon’s valuable IP.
 
The CIO apprises the Lead Architect of the sensitive nature of the work he has to complete
within the next 2 months.
 
 
Identify which of the following processes would be most appropriate for the Lead Architect
to adopt in this situation.
 
 
A. Identify the sources of threat, review the relevant security statutes, see how disaster
recovery can be achieved, find who are the actors vis vis the system and design suitable
access control mechanisms, identify critical data and applications and ensure that they are
given the highest level of security 
B. First revisit the Preliminary Phase to determine the tailoring of ADM vis a vis Security.
Identify any change in the Principles or additions to be carried out. Engage with all
Stakeholders to finalize the Vision. Then in Business, Information systems and Technology
Architectures ensure the Security Frame work adopted to the ADM addresses all critical
security issues. Finally conduct an overall review to assess how effective the security
2
ecosystem designed is and whether it meets the security level desired 
C. Invoke Preliminary Phase and Vision Phase Identify Sources of threat, review and
determine revised regulatory, security and assumptions, document them get management
buy in , develop business continuity plans especially for critical data operations, assure
data, application and technological component security. 
D. Determine who are the people who are hacking into similar organizations, ensure that
highly secure measures are taken when external people enter the R&D and manufacturing
locations, ensure that there is a very strong firewall so that people cannot get illicit entry
into the system, periodically check the effectiveness of the security measures

Worldwide Mobile is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of
mergers and acquisitions. They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for
the most recent acquisitions, and as result, customer service has been a major concern for
the Chief Technology Officer.
 
 
Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and
the customer retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average. The Corporate
Marketing group has published some new finding about customer satisfaction. The
customers appear to be switching to Air Light, a competitor, because of superior customer
service. WorldwideMobile actually has better coverage in nearly all markets than Air Light,
and good roaming agreement that keep rates low for business travellers. But customer
satisfaction has remained low.
 
The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a
high-level project to develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan. They have developed a
business scenario which contains a good conceptual model of what needs to be done and
also identifies the key requirements. This was used in preparing the proposal presented to
the Executive Council and the Corporate Board.
 
The planning for the program has been underway for several months. WorldwideMobile
has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture.
 
The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition
to a packaged Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take
five years to complete, but there are some tactical projects that can commence
immediately to address the situation. The Executive Council has stated that the program
should define specific initiatives to enable each regional business units to create an
implementation of the Customer Service System. The implementation must meet the needs
of the business unit and still provide the information needed to enable major improvements
3
to the customer.

Scenario: Vittronics Ltd.
 
 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
 
 
Vittronics Ltd. is a leading medical device manufacturer in the highly competitive market for
Migraine Headache Pain Management (MHPM) devices. These tiny wireless devices are
implanted in the brain and can deliver a precise electric shock when the wearable Pain
Control Unit (PCU) detects an increase in stress induced by the onset of a migraine
headache.
 
 
This technology will be a breakthrough in the treatment of this condition, and several
competitors are striving to be the first to introduce a product into the market. However, all of
them must demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of their products in a set of clinical
trials that will satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets.
 
 
The Enterprise Architecture group at Vittronics has been engaged in an architecture
development project to create a Secure Private Immersive Collaborative Environment
(SPICE) that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to
6
share information about their independent clinical trials.
 
 
The Vittronics Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization that has been utilizing
TOGAF for several years. They have recently upgraded to TOGAF 9. The Vittronics
Architecture Development Method (VADM) is strictly based on the TOGAF 9 Architecture
Development Method (ADM) with extensions required to support current good
manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets.
 
 
The SPICE project team has now completed the Business, Information Systems, and
Technology Architecture phases and has produced a complete set of deliverables for each
phase. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed in SPICE,
special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of
the security and privacy issues that are relevant for each domain. A corresponding SPICE
Security Architecture has been defined.
 
 
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise
Architecture activity.
 
 
Refer to the Vittronics Ltd Scenario:
 
 
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the SPICE project team.
 
 
As required by TOGAF, the SPICE project team res completed a Business Transformation
Readiness Assessment in Phase A (Architecture Vision). In that assessment, it was
determined that there are risks associated with the adoption of the Immersive Collaborative
Environment. Despite a clear expression of the vision and the business need for utilizing
SPICE to accelerate the clinical trials, the researchers have been resisting the change
because of concerns about safeguarding individually identifiable information about the
subjects who were participating in the trials.
 
 
You have been asked to recommend how this situation be managed in the implementation
planning phases.
 
 
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
 
 
A. You decide that in Phase E, the team creates an overall solutions strategy that can
guide the Target Architecture implementation and structure the Transition Architectures.
You check that there is consensus before proceeding. 
B. You decide to return to Phase A, where the team should brainstorm a technical solution
that mitigates the residual risks presented by the privacy issue. Then, during Phase D, you
will direct the team to develop an Architecture Building Block to manage the security risks.

After that, the team should select Solution Building Blocks that mitigate all of the identified
risks and revise the Requirements Impact Statement to reflect the changes to the high-level
solutions strategy and migration plan. 
C. You decide that in Phase E, the team review the Business Transformation Readiness
Assessment and identify, classify, and mitigate the risks associated with the identified
readiness factors. If the risks can be satisfactorily mitigated, then you would continue to
define a high-level solutions strategy that includes the Transition Architectures needed to
make the change culturally and technically feasible.

Scenario: AGEX Inc.
 
 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
 
 
AGEX is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly
through a series of acquisitions.
 
 
Each new business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration
between headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the
handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information across
businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had been
intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its
own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage
customer, products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different
ways of defining each of 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, AGEX has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of
business. The Corporate Board is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to
manage and safeguard customer information in a 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 offered to clients and
trading partners.
 
 
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals
in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the
business unit personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also
formed a cross-functional Architecture Review Board to oversee and govern the
architecture.
 
 
After reviewing the available alternatives, and based on recommendations from the ERP
9
vendor, AGEX has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program.
 
 
The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
 
 
Refer to the AGEX Inc. Scenario
 
 
You are serving as the Chief Architect.
 
 
You have been asked to recommend the approach to take in the Preliminary Phase to
ensure that the Corporate Board's concern is addressed.
 
 
Based en TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
 
 
A. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern in terms of regulatory and security
policy requirements. You then update the AGEX security policy to reflect the concern,
ensuring that this policy is communicated across the organization. 
You allocate a security architecture team to ensure that security considerations are
included in ongoing architecture planning. You then assess the security implications and
agreements within the AGEX businesses and their suppliers. 
B. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern in terms of regulatory requirements
and their impact on business goals and objectives. Based on this understanding, you then
issue a Request for Architecture Work to commence an architecture development project to
develop a solution that will address the Board's concern. 
You allocate a security architect to oversee the implementation of the solution in the ERP
system that is being developed. 
C. You start by clarifying the intent that the Board has for raising this concern. This enables
you to understand the implications of the concern in terms of regulatory requirements and
the potential impact on current business goals and objectives. 
You propose that a security architect or security architecture team be allocated to develop
comprehensive security architecture. 
D. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern by examining the potential impacts
on business goals and objectives. Based on your understanding, you then update the
current AGEX security policy to include an emphasis on the Board's concern. 
In addition, you allocate a security architect to ensure that security considerations are
included in the architecture planning for all domains.

Scenario: Rollins Manufacturing
 
 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
 
 
Rollins Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in
Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama,
and Seoul. Each of these plants has been operating its own Manufacturing Requirements
Planning (MRPII) system, production scheduling, and custom developed applications that
drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
 
 
Rollins is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the
efficiency of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal
quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in process waste could
be achieved by replacing the current MRPII and scheduling systems with a common
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in the Cleveland data center. This
central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the functionality in the
existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant
facilities. A reduced number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some
cases, a third-party contractor could provide those staff.
 
 
The Rollins Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and
has mature, well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are
strongly based on TOGAF 9.At a recent meeting, the Architecture Review Board approved
a Request for Architecture Work from the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing
Operations who is the project sponsor. The request covered the initial architectural
investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the
transformation.
 
 
The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the
project team has been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired
outcomes and benefits. Some of the plant managers have expressed concern about the
security and reliability of driving their MRPII and production scheduling from a central
system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can
be addressed.
 
 
Refer to the Rollins Manufacturing Scenario
 
 
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect of the newly-formed Common ERP
Deployment architecture project team.
 
 
As the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team assembles for its initial
meeting, many of the participants have voiced concerns about the sweeping scope of the
11
initiative. Others are confident that they know a solution that will work. During the meeting,
a number of alternative recommendations for how to proceed are put forward by members
of the team.
 
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the
team evaluates different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the
architecture.
 
 
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
 
 
A. The team should hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using
the business scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the
characteristics of the architecture from the business requirements. 
B. The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and
conduct a series of briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier list.
Based on the findings from the research, the team should define a preliminary target
Architecture Vision. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the
key stakeholders. 
C. The team should create Baseline and Target Architectures for each of the manufacturing
plants. A gap analysis between the architectures will then validate the approach, and
determine the Transition Architecture needed to achieve the target state. 
D. The team should conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors on the short list to
demonstrate potential solutions that will access the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on
the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of requirements can be developed that will
arrive the evolution of the architecture.  
 
Answer: A
