Assumptions
■ The client will designate a project manager as primary point of contact who will work closely with Gartner as needed and will: (a) approve priorities/task plans/schedules; (b) facilitate scheduling of interviews with personnel; (c) notify Gartner in writing of project issues and assist in their resolution
■ Client will review and approve documents within five business days. If no formal approval/rejection is received within that time, the deliverable is considered accepted
■ Client personnel will be made available per the schedule agreed in the kickoff meeting
■ The due diligence (as‑is) data are reasonably available via interviews and documentation review
■ Client provides timely access to personnel to be interviewed. These personnel will be able to answer questions, provide documentation and attend sessions
■ All data collection/interviews/workshops will take place via phone or in person as agreed at the project kickoff
■ With the exception of meetings, Gartner work will be performed at Gartner locations
■ Offices, phones, printing/copying and Internet access will be available to Gartner at client locations
■ Gartner will use Microsoft Office for the production of any engagement documentation
■ Any requests for additional information and/or deliverables(beyond the details described in this service definition) that are made will be considered a change in scope and will be handled accordingly (see Changes to Scope). This does not apply to clarification questions
Changes to Scope■ The scope of the engagement is defined herein. 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.

Gartner Service Definition —Cloud Component Documentation Review
Backup Restore and Disaster Recovery■ The Gartner service under discussion does not require
Gartner to manage or store any critical client data. Therefore, as there is no risk to the client and no break in service that will affect the client experience, there is no applicable policy needed in relation to this specific issue
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. At the conclusion of the service described all deliverables and any supporting information is handed over to the client
Information Assurance■ Gartner possesses analysts and consultants with various
security clearances, or we will, within reason, 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
Data Restoration■ No client data is retained by Gartner as part of the client’s
access to this service and therefore there is no data restoration process related to this service
