Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 252
A large bank has completed several acquisitions in the last few years that have resulted in redundant IT applications. To align with the strategic initiative of providing integrated services to customers, the IT steering committee has decided to share data and integrate applications. Which of the following would be MOST important to review in this situation?
Answer options
- A. IT risk register
- B. Balanced scorecard measures
- C. Enterprise architecture
- D. IT strategic plan
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The most crucial aspect to review is the Enterprise architecture, as it provides a comprehensive framework for integrating applications and ensuring cohesive data sharing. The IT risk register, balanced scorecard measures, and IT strategic plan are important, but they do not specifically address the integration of IT systems and applications as effectively as the Enterprise architecture does.
