This operational question asks you about working with technology that you may not be familiar with or which you wouldn't recommend if asked. Many IT engineers take great pride in what they do and become very focused on the technologies they prefer to work with. They may be reluctant to work with information or input from stakeholders or organizations with less technical knowledge or experience. When answering this question, keep in mind that the third-party organization has already influenced the Cisco business stakeholder. You need to first acknowledge the value they obtained from the third party, then discuss how you could integrate their suggestion into your proposed solution and what alternatives may work better.
