The best argument in favor of enforcement of the contract is that this was a unilateral mistake made by Data Inc. A unilateral mistake occurs when only one party is mistaken about a material fact in the contract. In general, a unilateral mistake does not provide a basis for avoiding a contract. Therefore, Enterprise LLC can enforce the contract despite the mistake made by Data Inc.
