ArchiCar has been a market leader in the premium priced luxury car sector for the last decade. Its product leadership strategy has brought superior products to market, and enabled ArchiCar to achieve premium prices for its cars. This strategy has been

widely successful in the past, but recently competitors have been offering comparable products and taking significant market share. The governing board of ArchiCar has identified opportunities in emerging markets where the ArchiCar brand is associated

with luxury and high performance products, but is thought to be too expensive for mass-market success. Based on this assessment, the board has made the decision to setup a subsidiary company to mass-produce affordable cars locally. This will be

achieved by focusing on a strategy of operational excellence. Such a strategy is ideal for such markets where customers value cost over other factors.

To facilitate this strategic transformation, the project has been divided into multiple phases within a five-year program. The initial phase, known as "Achieving Operational Excellence," is underway. The engineering team has begun devising an action plan

to drive the necessary changes and outlining the technological conditions that must be met. The product architect has identified three current capabilities - industry-leading engineering, high-quality materials sourcing, and cutting-edge focussed R&D -

along with their contributions to the new production philosophy.

Moving forward, it has been determined that two out of the three current capabilities require revision. Materials sourcing needs to be adjusted to meet optimization demands, and R&D targets must align with future goals to enable affordable production.

Additionally, process engineering is introduced as a fourth capability to shift the company's focus from products to a process-oriented approach.

The Enterprise Architecture team has been tasked with migration planning, and identifying keywork packages and deliverables. They have identified two transition states between the current and future scenario. The first transition aims to adjust current

capabilities, including revising the R&D approach and procurement strategy. The second transition aims to shift from a product-centric mindset to a process-focused approach and adjust materials sourcing accordingly. It is important to consider existing

supplier contracts that cannot be immediately canceled during this process.

The Enterprise Architecture team has identified that the second transition must implement a process framework, in order to shift to a process focus and meet a number of requirements, including the requirement for end-to-end process thinking. As this

requirement impacts procurement processes, it also impacts the procurement strategy.

The ArchiSurance enterprise document management solution includes a sophisticated ecosystem of applications and technologies. Designed with a strong emphasis on high availability, it plays a vital role in providing support for a diverse range of

document types and managing a substantial volume of document-based transactions on a daily basis. Recognizing its importance to the business, the document management solution is redundantly hosted at two geographically separate data

center sites, both configured identically for seamless operations.

The system software at the core of the document management solution is comprised of three key modules. The Document Engine serves as a repository, facilitating document storage, retrieval, and various other operations. The Workflow Engine

acts as a host for document management applications, while the Application Engine powers the most advanced and sophisticated applications within the system.

Two key factors have driven the Architecture Board's approval of a project aimed at updating this critical solution. Firstly, the supplier of the Workflow Engine has given notice of the end of support for the current software version, necessitating an

upgrade. Secondly, the system administrator responsible for the Application Engine has flagged the need for hardware replacement on the server where the software is currently running. Given that the Claim Management application shares

infrastructure with the Application Engine, the involvement of the system administrator responsible for this application is crucial in the project planning and execution.

Refer to the Scenario

You are the Enterprise Architect within this organization. You have been assigned the task of modeling the applications and technology for this solution, as well as outlining the motivations driving the need for its update.

Based on the scenario, which answer provides the most complete and accurate description?

The IT Operations (IT Ops) department at ArchiSurance has five core responsibilities, each encompassing a dedicated business process: (1) Batch Operations (Batch Ops), (2) Online Operations (Online Ops), (3) Security Operations (Security

Ops), (4) User Support and (5) Continuous Improvement. Service level agreements (SLAs) are in place for Batch Ops and Online Ops, and each Ops process generates monitoring data that is utilized by the Continuous Improvement process.

The System Ops category consists of Batch Ops, Online Ops, and Security Ops, each having an incident management sub-process. These sub-processes are triggered by Batch, Online, and Security Incidents, respectively. In the initial stages of

the incident management sub-processes, an Incident Alert is shared with the other System Ops processes by posting it to the Alert Buffer.

Batch Ops relies on a schedule that outlines all batch jobs and their dependencies. This schedule serves two sub-processes: Batch Planning, which updates the schedule for use by the Execution Management sub-process.

The Batch Ops process relies on a suite of interconnected applications to facilitate its operations. Among these applications, the Batch Scheduler plays a vital role by allowing users to manage a comprehensive database of jobs, job schedules, and

dependencies. It effectively launches batch jobs according to the information stored in the database.

Working in conjunction with the Batch Scheduler, the Batch Monitor application utilizes the job schedules as a reference point to monitor job execution. It identifies any exceptional conditions that may arise during the execution process. To ensure

effective handling of these exceptions, the Batch Monitor communicates the information to both the Batch Scheduler and the Incident Handler applications through the previously mentioned Alert Buffer.

The Incident Handler application operates based on a defined set of business rules. It uses these rules to determine the relevant systems and individuals that need to be notified in the event of each incident. Subsequently, the Incident Handler

application generates appropriate notifications according to these determinations.

Recognizing the criticality of the Batch Scheduler, Batch Monitor, and Incident Handler applications, ArchiSurance has implemented redundant hosting arrangements across multiple geographically distributed data centers. In each data center,

these three applications are supported by fully redundant virtual server clusters. Each cluster is connected to two site local area networks, both of which are further linked to separate storage array hardware devices.

Refer to the scenario

As part of an IT service management initiative, you have been assigned the task to show how applications and technology support the Batch Ops process. This should show the relationships between the applications, their functions, the data

they access, and the technology that hosts the applications and data, along with the networks that connect the servers. It is only necessary to model a single data center.
