A. Hierarchical deployment of the SOI architecture is the recommended deployment whenever an enterprise has two or more business divisions.

B. Hierarchical deployment of the SOI architecture is an anti-pattern and should be avoided du-the additional costs associated with supporting multiple hardware and software platforms.

C. Hierarchical deployment of the SOI architecture is a transitional phase moving toward a peer-peer deployment where the enterprise-wide deployment of the upper layers is eliminated.

D. Hierarchical deployment of the SOI architecture supports aquestions because each aquestions can be treated as a new division with its own chosen hardware and software platforms.

E. Because each division is allowed to select the hardware and software platform, industry standards become more important to ensure interoperability between the divisions and the enterprise-wide upper layer.

F. Because each division is allowed to select the hardware and software platform, platform vendors will have the complete for business, which will reduce the costs of hardware and software, thus reducing the cost of technical deployment versus a shared deployment.
