AXIS Communication & Stakeholder Engagement 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A client's IT team and physical security team have conflicting requirements for an AXIS network camera deployment. As the technician, what is your BEST course of action?
- Side with the IT team since they control the network
- Facilitate a joint meeting to align both teams on a shared solution (Correct answer)
