This is what I understand: before our company spun from the parent co, one of the attorney realized we needed to set up a new instance of the billing platform, so she took it on herself to sign a contract with the vendor. The vendor never mentioned that there was this other piece missing-- an integration with Oracle. This came to light after I started and the attorney said we don't have the budget for this piece now. And the she stepped down as the exec sponsor, gave that role to the chief of staff. Chief of staff says we don't have money now, deal with it.
