Your company has decided to create an Enterprise Architecture following. The Open Group
Architecture Framework (TOGAF). Which option best describes how the IT Strategies from Oracle

(ITSO) library of material relates to this TOGAF-based Initiative?

A.
ITSO has minimal applicability because TOGAF is a complete architecture framework.

B.
The ITSO material can be used as reference material within the TOGAF approach.

C.
The TOGAF approach will need to be modified (customized) to incorporate the ITSO material.

D.
The ITSO material will need to be adapted to the TOGAF approach.

E.
TOGAF and ITSO are mutually exclusive. One or the other must be chosen as the basis for the
company’s Enterprise Architecture.

Explanation:
The ITSO, and, being part of it, the Oracle Reference Architecture is not an
Architecture Framework. For this, many solutions are already available, of which TOGAF
andOracle’s Enterprise Architecture Framework (OEAF) are good examples. The ORA can be
perfectly integrated in any of the currently available frameworks.
Note: The IT Strategies from Oracle give you a whole library of whitepapers, not only to develop a
Reference Architecture for your own, by adapting the ORA to your needs, but it also focuses on
the surrounding Enterprise Technology Strategies and Enterprise Solution Designs. In other
words, ITSO covers both the horizontal technology perspectives (SOA, BPM, EDA, etc.), but also
the vertical business perspectives (Utilities, Government, etc.).Now, in case you think that this is
all about Oracle Technology products, you might be surprised: the whole ITSO / Oracle Reference
Architecture is Vendor-Neutral. It is only scoped to Oracle’s product portfolio. Now, one might ask
themselves: what technology product area’s doesn’t Oracle have products for, so that shouldn’t be
too much of an issue as far as completeness is concerned.ITSO can help you organizing complex
product landscapes, by means of a holistic approach to technology adoption. By covering the
technology as a whole, you can reduce risk and become more in control of your IT solutions.
