[All P_SAPEA_2023 Questions]

The CIO of Wanderlust strongly feels that the seldom-used legacy Marketing application cannot be the platform to rejuvenate their online marketing business. As Chief Enterprise Architect, the CIO has entrusted you with the responsibility of finding a suitable replacement that can support all current processes and also address the issues plaguing the existing application. Which of the following should you do to conclusively shortlist possible applications to replace the existing one? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

AStart with current processes, map business capabilities to these processes, and identify which application(s) in the market can deliver such capabilities.

BCompare the costs of those market leading online marketing applications and rank the top applications in terms of license, implementation, maintenance and subscription cost.

CAdopt a process centric approach, relate Wanderlust processes to industry standard processes, and identify applications/ solutions which deliver such processes.

DUnderstand the features of leading online marketing applications available in the market through product demonstrations and rank the applications in terms of features.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

Starting with the current processeswill help to understand the capabilities that are needed in a new application. This will help to narrow down the field of potential applications and identify those that are most likely to meet the needs of Wanderlust.

Mapping business capabilities to these processeswill help to identify the gaps in the current capabilities and the areas where improvement is needed. This will help to ensure that the new application meets the needs of Wanderlust and addresses the issues plaguing the existing application.

Relating Wanderlust processes to industry standard processeswill help to identify applications that are already being used by other organizations. This can be a good way to ensure that the new application is compatible with other systems and that it can be easily integrated with existing systems.

The other two options, Comparing the costs of those market leading online marketing applications and Understanding the features of leading online marketing applications available in the market through product demonstrations and ranking the applications in terms of features, are not as critical at this stage. The costs of the applications can be compared once the shortlist of applications has been finalized. The features of the applications can be understood through product demonstrations once the shortlist has been finalized.

Therefore, the best course of action is to start with the current processes, map business capabilities to these processes, and identify which application(s) in the market can deliver such capabilities. This will help to narrow down the field of potential applications and identify those that are most likely to meet the needs of Wanderlust.

Here are some of the benefits of taking a process-centric approach to selecting a new marketing application:

It can help to ensure that the new application meets the needs of the business.

It can help to identify applications that are already being used by other organizations.

It can help to ensure that the new application is compatible with other systems and that it can be easily integrated with existing systems.

I bet the legacy Marketing app was built on a flip phone and a Commodore 64. Time to join the 21st century!

We should definitely consider the costs involved in implementing and maintaining the new application.

Product demos are a must! You can't really evaluate the features unless you see them in action. I hope the CIO has a big screen TV ready for all those demos.

Considering costs is important, but I don't think that should be the only factor. We need to look at features and capabilities as well to make sure we get the best value.

You know, this reminds me of that time I had to help my grandma figure out her new smartphone. She just wanted to call her friends, but the phone had a million features she didn't need. Moral of the story: keep it simple, people!

Hmm, I'm with Garry on this one. Can't just focus on the processes and capabilities, gotta consider the costs too. And let's not forget the user experience - those features are important!

Ah, the old 'features vs. cost' debate. I say we should do both - understand the processes, map the capabilities, but also look at the costs and features. Gotta strike the right balance, you know?

I don't know, comparing costs seems like a good idea to me. After all, the CIO is probably looking for a cost-effective solution. But I guess the business capabilities and processes should be the priority.

Hmm, I agree with Rozella. We should start by understanding the existing processes and mapping the business capabilities. That will give us a clear direction on the kind of application we need. Comparing costs and features alone won't cut it.

This is a tricky question. As the Chief Enterprise Architect, I would need to carefully evaluate the current processes and business capabilities to find the right replacement application. I think options A and C are the way to go.
