Any Additional Information ■There is no additional information related to this service. Reasons Why Others Use Gartner ■Gartner created the IT Research industry 32 years ago, and our reputation speaks for itself. Gartner Research is the only IT research informed by both the technology end user and provider’s perspectives. We use our research as the basis for our Consulting solutions, methodologies and tools; and, we leverage our research and our industry ‑ leading analysts, as needed, throughout our Consulting engagements. So, when our clients buy Gartner Consulting, they are buying Gartner Research. ■Articulating a clear ICT Value Proposition that is framed such that cloud opportunities are highlighted appropriately is a foundational pillar in approving and executing change. Without evidence to secure informed consent to an updated ICT Value Proposition there is a danger that Cloud opportunities are missed, or pursued for inappropriate reasons. ■A clear view of what changes to make to ensure the organisation is better able to recognise, evaluate, decide and execute on Cloud initiatives (and the rationale for making such changes).

All client requests for changes must be set forth and explained in writing. As soon as practicable, Gartner shall advise of the cost/schedule implications of requested changes and any other necessary details to allow both parties to decide whether to proceed with the requested changes. The parties shall agree in writing upon any requested changes prior to Gartner commencing work. ■As used herein, “changes” are defined as work activities or work products not originally planned for or specifically defined by this service definition. Assumptions ■The due diligence (‘as ‑ is’) data are reasonably available via interviews and documentation review. ■The client will provide timely access to all appropriate personnel to be interviewed. These personnel will have the ability to provide data necessary to complete this project, answer questions, provide existing documentation and attend working sessions. ■Service pricing assumes that the client will arrange all sessions with the client personnel. ■All data collection and interviews/workshops will take place via telephone or in person at the client offices. ■The client will designate a project manager to act as the primary point of contact for this project who will be expected to work closely with the Gartner employees as needed and will: (a) approve project priorities, detailed task plans and schedules; (b) facilitate the scheduling of Gartner interviews with appropriate client personnel; (c) notify Gartner in writing of any project or performance issues; and (d) assist in resolving project issues that may arise. ■The work effort described in this service definition assumes that the client personnel are available to assist in the project as defined in this Proposal. In the event that the client personnel are not available, a change of scope may be necessary. ■The client will review and approve documents within five business days. If no formal approval or rejection is received within that time, the deliverable is considered to be accepted by the client. ■The client is to schedule the client resources for project activities and provide meeting facilities as necessary. ■The client personnel will be made available per the final project schedule. ■Any requests for additional information (beyond the details described in the tasks above) that are made by the client will be considered a change in scope for this engagement and will be handled accordingly. ■All deliverables will be developed using Microsoft products (for example, Project, Excel, Word and PowerPoint).

Therefore, as there is no risk to the client and no break in service that will affect the client experience, there is policy required. Information Assurance ■Gartner possesses analysts and consultants with various security clearances, or we will acquire those clearances as the client demands. ■Gartner associates are bound by very specific rules around client confidentiality and security given that our clients reveal to us their greatest challenges and difficulties in order that we can help and support them most effectively. ■Gartner’s benchmarks are predicated on the confidentiality of its data sources, with only outline information given as to the nature of the data points contained within its databases (e.g. Government; UK; workload range of X-Y end users, and the like) Data Restoration ■This does not apply: all data retained is anonymised before use with other clients; no client is able to access this data directly and therefore there is no data restoration process related to this service. Service Migration ■There is no need for a Service Migration plan given the nature of the service under discussion. The client is able to complete and conclude the service without any ongoing process being required for transfer of service or information to an alternative provider or successor.

Gartner’s process does not rely on any individual’s knowledge of the client IT organisation, cost base. There is some dependency on accessing the correct member of client staff with whom to discuss key areas of data collection. Gartner’s recommendation is that this be handled during the project initiation phase. ■Gartner retains responsibility for agreeing any data collected with the client sponsor/ project manager Onboarding ■Does not apply. Gartner’s process involves guiding the client staff through the baseline activities, either through workshop or through structured interview. ■Gartner retains responsibility for agreeing any data collected with the client sponsor/ project manager Gartner Service Definition — Cloud & ICT Cost Optimisation – Detail and Roadmap
