IBM Maximo Asset Management v7.6.1 Functional Analyst — Question 2

What is a functional requirement of an IBM Social Reference Architecture?

Answer options

• A. Reduce barriers to effective collaboration
• B. Limit data replication throughout
• C. Only support online data replication
• D. Control collaboration with competitors

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as reducing barriers to effective collaboration is essential for enhancing communication and teamwork within the IBM Social Reference Architecture. Options B and C are incorrect because while limiting data replication can be beneficial, it is not a primary functional requirement, and supporting only online data replication is too restrictive. Option D is also incorrect as controlling collaboration with competitors does not align with the architecture's intent to foster open communication.
