Question #: 13
Topic #: 7

Adiyan has been considering the feasibility of introducing a new payments method into his company His draft report reads

'The new payment method has not yet been widely adopted although it has the backing of all the big phone brands. Our current payments system will be upgraded next month to take payment as part of a scheduled release This method of payment will be supported under our current license deal Trials have shown that the technology will scale to our customer base and cyber security testing is encouraging'

Which of the following is the BEST description of the areas of Technical feasibility mentioned in the report?

AProven. Compatible, Secure. Scalable

BTimely, Compatible. Secure, Scalable

CReliable. Compatible, Secure. Architectural Alignment

DTimely, Reliable, Proven, Architectural Alignment

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The elements of the POPIT model that need further investigation are people and process. This is because the staff members have raised concerns about the compatibility of the new automated system with the current process of handling parcels without barcodes or with obscured barcodes, as well as the impact of the system on their job security. These concerns relate to the people element, which covers the roles, skills, attitudes, and behaviors of the staff, and the process element, which covers the activities, tasks, and procedures involved in delivering a service or product. Option C is the correct answer.

I’m surprised they’re going ahead with trials when it’s not proven yet.

Wait, is it really secure if it’s not widely adopted yet?

I practiced a similar question, and I recall that compatibility is crucial, but I can't remember if "reliable" is the right term to use here.

I think "proven" could apply here since the trials showed positive results, but I'm confused about whether "architectural alignment" is relevant.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like "timely" might not fit since the payment method isn't widely adopted yet.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key technical feasibility points seem to be compatibility with the current system, security testing, scalability, and alignment with the company's architecture. That sounds like option C to me.

This is a tricky one. The report talks about the technology being compatible, secure, and scalable, but also mentions it's not yet widely adopted. I'm not sure if "Proven" is the right word there. Maybe "Timely, Compatible. Secure, Scalable" is a better fit.

Okay, I think I've got this. The report highlights that the new payment method is compatible with the company's current systems, secure based on testing, and scalable to their customer base. That sounds like the best fit for "Proven. Compatible, Secure. Scalable".

I'm a bit confused on this one. The HPE StoreEasy Gateway seems like it might be able to handle the backup needs, but I'm not sure if it has the flexibility for the additional test/dev storage.

Okay, let's see here. The question mentions that the PCs and IP phones can authenticate using machine certificates, so that's a good starting point. Now I need to figure out what's the best way to get the other devices on the network securely.

I'm a bit skeptical about the 'cyber security testing' being 'encouraging'. I'd want to see some more details on that before making a decision. But overall, option B seems like the best fit.
