Which option best describes how IT Strategies from Oracle (ITSO) material can be used while creating the Enterprise Architecture?

As part of a company-wide IT Initiative to simplify and rationalize the technology and products
used you have been tasked with defining an Enterprise Architecture. The Enterprise Architecture
will be used to communicate the desired future state where redundant, deprecated, and undesired
technology and products have been eliminated. Oracle products will be included. In the Enterprise
Architecture, it will be products from other vendors, including products that directly compete with
Oracle products.
Which option best describes how IT Strategies from Oracle (ITSO) material can be used while
creating the Enterprise Architecture?

A.
The ITSO material cannot be used because ITSO applies to Oracle products only.

B.
The ITSO material can be used without modification because it has no Oracle product
dependencies.

C.
The ITSO material can be used as reference material but will require customization to reflect
specific products selected by the company.

D.
The Oracle Reference Architecture component of ITSO can be readily applied, but the Rest of
ITSO cannot, because of product dependencies.

E.
The Oracle Reference Architecture component of ITSO cannot be applied due to pre
dependencies, but the rest of ITSO can be applied.

F.
The ITSO material is not applicable to rationalization of IT asset

Explanation:
IT Strategies from Oracle (ITSO) is a series of documentation and supporting
collateral
designed to enable organizations to develop an architecture-centric approach to
enterprise-class IT initiatives. ITSO presents successful technology strategies and
solution designs by defining universally adopted architecture concepts, principles,
guidelines, standards, and patterns.
ITSO is made up of three primary elements:
* Oracle Reference Architecture (ORA) defines a detailed and consistent
architecture for developing and integrating solutions based on Oracle
technologies. The reference architecture offers architecture principles and
guidance based on recommendations from technical experts across Oracle. It
covers a broad spectrum of concerns pertaining to technology architecture,
including middleware, database, hardware, processes, and services.
* Enterprise Technology Strategies (ETS) offer valuable guidance on the adoption
of horizontal technologies for the enterprise.They explain how to successfully

execute on a strategy by addressing concerns pertaining to architecture,
technology, engineering, strategy, and governance. An organization can use this
material to measure their maturity, develop their strategy, and achieve greater
levels of success and adoption. In addition, each ETS extends the Oracle Reference
Architecture by adding the unique capabilities and components provided by that
particular technology. It offers a horizontal technology-based perspective of ORA.
* Enterprise Solution Designs (ESD) are industry specific solution perspectives
based on ORA. They define the high level business processes and functions, and
the software capabilities in an underlying technology infrastructure that are
required to build enterprise-wide industry solutions. ESDs also map the relevant
application and technology products against solutions to illustrate how
capabilities in Oracle’s complete integrated stack can best meet the business,
technical and quality of service requirements within a particular industry.
