Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 78

Following a merger of two major corporations, the new strategic goal is `One business function. One IT system.` Which of the following should be the FIRST step to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Form a combined IT steering committee.
• B. Document requirements for each business function.
• C. Create a standard enterprise architecture.
• D. Define service level agreements with each business function.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because documenting the requirements for each business function is essential to understand what the unified IT system needs to support. Without a clear understanding of these requirements, forming a committee, creating an architecture, or defining agreements may not align with the actual needs of the business functions.
