D. Change control, for sure. Gotta keep up with the times, even if it means a few extra hoops to jump through. At least it's better than being stuck with a dinosaur of a system!

Ah, the old 'future-proofing' dilemma. I'd go with D. Change control. Keeps things flexible and adaptable. Plus, it sounds like the most 'tech-savvy' option.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe a combination of C. Benchmarking and D. Change control would be the way to go? Gotta cover all bases, you know.
