Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 191

Supply chain management has established a supplier policy requiring multiple technology suppliers. What is the BEST way to ensure the success of this policy?

Answer options

• A. Implement a master service agreement.
• B. Align enterprise architecture (EA) and procurement strategies.
• C. Identify and select suppliers based on cost.
• D. Align the vendor selection process with the security policy.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Aligning enterprise architecture (EA) and procurement strategies ensures that the technology suppliers fit well within the overall business framework and goals. The other options, while potentially beneficial, do not directly address the holistic integration of technology suppliers into the enterprise's operational strategy, which is crucial for the success of the policy.
