By 9/2/03, Jose Eduardo was pondering whether he should give Meag another chance, or if should he get rid of Meag right away. He wonders if he fires Meag, how might Almeida react to the apparent "breach of contract"? He also questions whether a potential new supplier and new solution might not just bring new problems (technical and/or organizational) and further delays. To this end:

Q: Should he remain with Meag, or select a new supplier? Regardless of which decision you choose, which of the three potential new suppliers (Processos Criativos, SVDI, or Restinfor) should he keep as a fallback plan and why?
