Questions:
Is this a business requirement?

Is there the possibility you will be able to install the solution in the same timeframe as the vendor?

Do you have standard operational fallback procedures?

Does the vendor have demonstrable experience installing the solution in similar environments?


We do let vendors have access to some of our systems, but only those systems their work requires.
Significant configuration changes are approved by ITS stakeholders, announced, and scheduled for a predetermined downtime.
Any "significant" configuration change is preceded by full backup, allowing fallback in the event installations don't go according to plan.

For some vendors, it's a ride-along affair, with the remote session established and monitored by a local admin. This is also a learning opportunity for the admin, and can help establish a stronger working relationship with the vendor.
