OG0-093 Question #183: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Scenario: Intrepid Space Industries Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Intrepid Space Industries is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft program. Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. Intrepid is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program. To achieve this goal, Intrepid needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. These architectures must address key stakeholders' concerns such as: 1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes? 2. What current applications do those groups use? 3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications? 4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications? 5. What data will need to be shared? At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
