To me it reads like this - VP didn't care about the consequences of utilizing their solution and didn't care about IT; they simply wanted their stuff done, without acknowedgling prioratization of tasks.
The proper way this could have been resolved is by VP utilizing people's skills they've hired. Does this solution look good and will accomplish the task that was prioritized? Excellent! Pass it to IT to evaluate. If the task has specification - excellent, have somebody in IT look for a product that ticks all the boxes and let's choose it together.
