Who owns the implementation according to the model?

• A. Implementation Owned By Client
• B. Implementation Owned By Consultant
• C. Implementation Owned By Vendor
• D. Implementation Owned By None

Answer: (A)

Ownership of the implementation rests with the client. The client funds the work, will operate the system, and benefits from the outcomes, so it makes sense for them to own the final assets, configurations, documentation, and implemented processes. The consultant provides the expertise and guidance, but the rights to use, modify, and sustain the solution stay with the client to ensure independence, future adaptability, and ongoing value beyond the engagement. If ownership were with the vendor or the consultant, it would create reliance or control that undermines the client’s long-term autonomy; describing no ownership would leave sustainability and accountability unclear.
