You have just accepted the position as CIO for Holiday Inn. As your first official act, the CEO has asked you to assess the corporation’s computer operations (refer to Figure 3.1) and report back to her with your recommendation on whether to remain with the status quo (i.e., a centralized IS architecture), migrate to a distributed architecture, or create a hybrid solution using aspects from both general architectures.

Choose your position and prepare a case for presentation at the next staff meeting.
