A. B.

B.

The proposed solution of implementing the distribution centers and center data repository in the cloud may partially meet the company's priorities, but it may not fully address their concerns regarding uninterrupted operations in remote areas with poor internet connectivity.

The cloud-based data repository can provide centralized management of master data, which can be accessed by all the factories and distribution centers. This can help to ensure that data is consistent and up-to-date across the entire organization. Additionally, cloud-based data storage can also provide access to financial data for global reporting purposes, which can help to ensure that the company has an accurate view of their financial status across all locations.

However, the proposed solution may not fully address the company's concern regarding uninterrupted factory and distribution center operations in areas with poor internet connectivity. If internet connectivity is unreliable or not available at all, the distribution centers may not be able to access the cloud-based data repository, which could potentially cause disruptions to their operations.

To fully address the company's priorities, additional measures may need to be taken to ensure that the factories and distribution centers have access to critical data even in areas with poor internet connectivity. For example, local caching of frequently accessed data or the use of offline data storage solutions may be necessary.

Therefore, the answer is likely to be "No," as the proposed solution only partially meets the company's priorities, and additional measures may be required to fully address their concerns.
