• Ca reduction in the overhead associated with IT governance and evolution (compared to a traditional
• Da reduction in size and operational cost of IT as a whole (compared to a traditional silo-based IT

• A
  3% (2)
• B
  70% (43)
• C
  18% (11)
• D
  8% (5)

Explanation

Option B is correct because reducing the quantity of services is not a stated outcome of achieving Reduced IT Burden - the goal targets how services are delivered (more efficiently, with less overhead), not how many services exist. In fact, consolidating silos may preserve or even expand service offerings while streamlining their management. Options A, C, and D are all legitimate results: eliminating silo-based architectures naturally reduces waste and redundancy (A), simplifies governance overhead (C), and lowers the overall size and cost of IT operations (D).

Memory tip: Think of "Reduced IT Burden" as cutting cost and complexity, not cutting services - the business still needs its services, it just wants them delivered more cheaply and efficiently.
