Looks friendly enough? How should we respond?
Questions to consider when addressing Oracle review letters:
How should you acknowledge this letter? Should you even bother acknowledging it?
Is it a fishing exercise or contractual request for audit?
Who should I speak to within my organization to respond to this letter?
How should I respond?
Do I need to respond within the 10 days specified? Can I set the agenda or do I need to work to their agenda?
