availability and security can be affected, which are specific contractual

obligations.




B. The access control software is generally irrelevant as long as the functionality,

availability and security can be affected, which are specific contractual

obligations.




C. The contract must specify who owns the intellectual property (i.e., information

contract.




D. The development methodology should be of no real concern in an outsourcing

contract.
