To make informed decisions about the Target Application Architecture that are aligned with the strategic direction of a company, certain artifacts are necessary to ensure that there is a clear connection between the stakeholder needs, business strategy, and the architectural vision. Option A includes a Stakeholder Map, which identifies the key players and their interests; a Business Strategy Map, which outlines the strategic objectives; a Solution Strategy, which details the approach to achieve the objectives through solutions; and an Architecture Roadmap, which lays out the plan to move from the current to the future state. These artifacts together provide a comprehensive view that guides the Target Application Architecture towards aligning with the company's strategic direction.

Enterprise Architecture frameworks and methodologies that outline the use of strategic artifacts in architecture development.

Guidelines on creating architecture roadmaps that align with business strategies.

SAP provides several artifacts as part of the SAP Reference Solution Architecture content to guide and streamline solution design and implementation. The artifacts provided are aimed at delivering comprehensive architectural documentation to cover various aspects of the solution architecture. Option B includes the Solution Context Diagram, which provides a high-level view of the system's environment and boundaries. The Solution Component Diagram gives an overview of the components and their interactions within the system. The Solution Application Use-Case Diagram describes how different users will interact with the application. The Solution Value Flow Diagram illustrates the value that flows through the system and between stakeholders.

SAP documentation on Solution Architecture best practices.

Resources detailing the SAP Reference Architecture framework.

The Statement of Architecture Work should encompass a Fit Gap Assessment to understand what requirements are currently not met by existing capabilities, the definition of the Solution Context to set the boundaries and scope of the architecture project, and the outline of the aspirational Solution Concept that encapsulates the stakeholders' needs and business requirements. These steps are vital in the preparatory phase to ensure that the architecture work is well-defined and targeted to deliver the anticipated outcomes. Reference = These activities are part of standard enterprise architecture practices and are necessary to develop a comprehensive and actionable Statement of Architecture Work that guides the SAP IBP implementation initiative.

Identifying the online marketing business capabilities and processeswill help to understand the current state of the ecosystem and identify the areas where improvement is needed. For example, if the ecosystem does not have the ability to track leads or manage customer relationships, then these will be areas that need to be addressed.

Identifying the key organizational units, partners, and stakeholder groups that make up the online marketing ecosystemwill help to understand the relationships between the different entities in the ecosystem and identify the dependencies between them. For example, if the marketing team relies on the sales team to provide leads, then this dependency will need to be considered when designing the new ecosystem.

The other two options, Identifying a suitable online marketing application that is better integrated with SAP CRM and ECC and can replace the existing one and Drawing an organization map highlighting the inter relationships and hierarchies amongst the above organizational units, partners, and stakeholder groups, are not as critical at this stage. The application can be identified and the organization map can be drawn once the business capabilities and processes have been identified and the key organizational units, partners, and stakeholder groups have been identified.

Therefore, the best course of action is to identify the online marketing business capabilities and processes and identify the key organizational units, partners, and stakeholder groups that make up the online marketing ecosystem. This will help to understand the current state of the ecosystem and identify the areas where improvement is needed.

In order to rejuvenate the online marketing efforts with a set of employees and partners, creating a stakeholder map is the appropriate next step. A stakeholder map will help to identify and categorize all the relevant parties involved in the online marketing ecosystem, including internal and external stakeholders, their interests, influence, and the relationships between them. This artifact provides a visual representation of all stakeholders, their expectations, and requirements, which is critical for developing a targeted strategy for rejuvenation. Reference = Stakeholder mapping is a common practice in enterprise architecture to ensure that all parties affected by a project are identified and their needs are considered in the decision-making process.

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.

The connection between SAP's Business Process Model (BPM) and the Business Capability Model (BCM) lies in how the end-to-end business processes are enabled by the business domains and capabilities outlined in the BCM. Each business activity in the BPM is supported by one or more business capabilities from the BCM. This linkage ensures that the company's capabilities are directly tied to the business activities and processes, providing a clear line of sight from high-level business strategy down to operational execution. Reference = This connection is standard in enterprise architecture where processes are designed to be supported by capabilities, ensuring that capabilities provide the necessary functions to execute the processes effectively.

Considering Wanderlust's product range and business model, which targets individual customers and offers a wide range of electric car combinations, the Lead to Cash-B2C with Make to Stock variant would be suitable for orders that can be met from existing stock. Similarly, the Lead to Cash-B2C with Make to Order variant would fit the business model when an individual customer orders a combination not available in stock, necessitating production scheduling. Both variants cater to the business-to-consumer (B2C) model and account for the direct sales approach to individual customers. Reference = These variants would be documented in SAP's Business Process Architecture content, which includes various Lead to Cash process scenarios, adjusted for different business contexts.

The business activities 'Analyze and respond to customer insight' and 'Implement promotional activities' directly relate to the CIO's goals of increasing cross-selling opportunities through online recommendations and running highly visible campaigns. Analyzing customer insights can provide data that enhances recommendation engines, leading to effective cross-selling. Implementing promotional activities, particularly in high-visibility platforms like social media, is key to driving campaign effectiveness. Reference = These relationships between business activities and goals would be informed by best practices in online marketing strategies, as documented within the Lead to Cash - B2C Business Process Variant.
