• C. Implement an automated information management platform.
• D. Facilitate widespread user access to all information assets.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best way to maximize the value of an enterprise's information assets is to seek additional opportunities to leverage existing information assets, as this focuses on enhancing the use and utility of what is already available. The other options either reduce the asset base, implement a system that may not directly increase value, or focus on access rather than maximizing existing resources.
