Answer: C
Of the choices, the hardware and access control software
generally is irrelevant as long as the functionality,
availability and security can be affected, which would be a
specific contractual obligation. Similarly, the development
methodology should be of no real concern. The contract must,
however, specify who owns the intellectual property (i.e.,
information being processed, application programs).
Ownership of intellectual property will have a significant
cost and is a key aspect to be defined in an outsourcing
contract.
