Question

Options

• ASaaS
• BBusiness process
• CServer
• DHardware

• A
  89% (40)
• B
  4% (2)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

In enterprise architecture tools like LeanIX, IT Component fact sheets use subtypes to classify the nature of a technology asset - SaaS (A) is a valid subtype representing cloud-delivered software subscriptions, and Server (C) represents infrastructure hosting workloads, both of which fall under recognized IT Component categories.

Business Process (B) is incorrect because it is its own separate, top-level fact sheet type in EA tools, not a subtype of IT Components - it describes organizational workflows, not technology assets. Hardware (D) is a common distractor, but the recognized subtype is the more specific Server, not the generic "Hardware" label.

Memory tip: Think "What runs software?" - a Server (physical/virtual infrastructure) and SaaS (a vendor-hosted service you subscribe to) are both discrete IT components you'd inventory, while "Business Process" lives in a completely different fact sheet category and "Hardware" is too vague to be a named subtype.
