Looks like the CIO and the vendor need to work on their communication skills. Maybe they can settle this over a game of ping-pong.

B is interesting, but I wonder if the vendor will actually agree to that. Might as well just arm wrestle for the contract.

D? Really? The CIO should focus on strategy, not micromanaging the contract execution. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
