Message From the Consulting Company Director: We have a large grocery chain client that wants to hire a consultant to redesign its enterprise IT architecture. The company has undergone a number of acquisitions over the last few years, expanding into household furniture and goods, with foreign markets, and it needs to integrate all the different systems into one. In order to make a decision on whether they can achieve this goal, they are asking for the development of an enterprise level architecture framework proposal that includes a thorough analysis of needs, cost, resources, and constraints. Do you think you can handle this project? Based on the work you have done so far, I am sure you can. Good luck. It is now time to report to the company.
