OUR APPROACH, PROPOSED SERVICES, AND DELIVERABLES
Sense Corp understands that managing IT today involves more than just managing the technology within IT. In the same vein, IT service management should involve organizing IT as a set of services that are aligned with the business needs rather than being driven by technological needs or limitations. Sense Corp is acutely aware that our maintenance and support services must provide substantial value to DIR to ensure successful business and technical operations of DIR Commercial off the Shelf (COTS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and in-house developed systems.
Sense Corp is committed to providing DIR with high quality, responsive maintenance and support services. We will work collaboratively with DIR to define processes and procedures that meet your expectations. Our proposed maintenance and support services include the following Core Skill Groups deployed using the following systems:
▪ SalesForce.com;▪ Oracle RDBMS;▪ SAP Business Intelligence;▪ DocuSign; and▪ Microsoft SharePoint Online Server.

TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 10 of 46
To this end, Sense Corp is pleased to explain how we will exceed the DIR’s expectations and requirements through our Application & Maintenance Support Services Strategy & Framework.
Application & Maintenance Support Services Strategy & Framework
The Application & Maintenance Support Services Strategy & Framework is a seamlessly integrated design, planning, and operational process designed to provide the DIR requested maintenance and support services:
Service Strategy creates a plan tailored to fit the needs of the DIR. This involves understanding DIR’s end users, capabilities and resources, and the constraints under which these services must be defined, delivered, and supported.
Service Design creates a balance between design and a diverse set of constraints. It considers how to design a service that meets the business needs and can be supported as an ongoing activity meeting all desired service levels.
Service Transition considers all elements required for a service. These elements include all aspects of a service, both technical and non-technical. This holistic view of a service ensures that the service is transitioned in a way that it can be supported as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Service Operation is where the value of the service is realized, and the strategy of DIR is executed. The Framework highlights the continual improvement in the service operation phase to continue to drive value for DIR.

▪ Is cost effective using a deliverable-based approach on a fixed fee per case▪ Delivers timely and effective resolution of cases▪ Utilizes independent, trusted, and DIR-approved resources that escalate cases to DIR internal
personnel only as necessary▪ Maintains operational services and processes with minimal service disruption▪ Provides timely and accurate monthly and quarterly reporting of desired operational metrics▪ Establishes and maintains a knowledge base that contains resolution assistance and steps
Service Design
In the Service Design phase, we will work with DIR to plan a smooth and seamless transition of application maintenance and support services to Sense Corp.
Detailed Project Work Plan
Using the draft Detailed Project Work Plan created as part of this response (and included below), we will review, refine, validate, and confirm the activities needed to illustrate how we will accomplish the successful

TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 12 of 46
integration of Sense Corp resources into the DIR production environment. This work plan will include the tasks and sub-tasks needed to support the transition activities and deliverables.
Case Resolution Process Documentation
We will create process documentation that provides DIR information on the case resolution process which will include:
▪ Sense Corp understanding of the nature of the reported problem or requested task.▪ Context of the source of the reported problem or task.▪ Activity performed by Sense Corp resource to move the task to a resolved state, including DIR
resources contacted during resolution process and testing methods and results. The level ofdocumentation shall be commensurate with the level of effort and complexity of the Case. Lessdocumentation is expected or required for “easier” Cases, particularly for repetitive operationalactivities.
▪ Any abnormal system situations discovered that may not be related to resolution of the Case.▪ Date and time of all activity required to resolve the Case (excluding non-activity lapsed time).▪ Backout instructions for substantial changes or new releases of Enhancements.▪ Non-application Issue: Cases can be closed after research with a determination of no application
issue found. Case may still be considered resolved within the context of this SOW due to level ofeffort required for the research/triage to reach the non-application determination. Examples of thismight be hardware or network issues.
Deliverables:
▪ Deliverable 1A: Detailed Project Work Plan (finalized version)▪ Deliverable 1B: Case Resolution Process Documentation
Service Transition
The Service Transition phase will involve the transition of knowledge from DIR to Sense Corp and training of Sense Corp resources to ultimately result in the acceptance of Sense Corp personnel in supporting each of the Core Skill Groups by providing application maintenance and support services. We will also work with DIR to develop the reporting templates for the operational quarterly and monthly status reports.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0555D60D-A6E8-4437-93AB-A2918E0D646B
TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 13 of 46
Knowledge Transfer and Knowledge Acquisition
During this phase, we will provide the resource pools that will be responsible for all application support and maintenance for each of the Core Skill Groups. We will spend time with DIR Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for provisioning and training on the systems the Sense Corp resources will be supporting. During this training, Sense Corp resources will document and develop internal training documentation to ensure knowledge is captured and shared among the Sense Corp team. This documentation will also be used by Sense Corp to train new resource(s) that are added to the resource pool throughout the period of performance for this SOW.
Shadowing / Joint Work
Once training sessions have occurred, Sense Corp resources will work jointly with DIR resources to jointly solve user support issues and test the Sense Corp SMEs knowledge.
Acceptance of Personnel
Once DIR determines that a Sense Corp resource is qualified to work independently, DIR will notify Sense Corp of the resource approval/acceptance (via written notification). Once all Core Skill Groups have Sense Corp personnel assigned and accepted by DIR, the Transition Project Manager will transition off the effort.
Knowledge Base
Throughout this phase, the Sense Corp team will establish a knowledge base so that information discussed and reviewed during this phase can be leveraged and updated and maintained as part of the Service Operation phase.
Quarterly Report Development
As a one-time activity during the effort, Sense Corp will work with DIR to develop a Quarterly Report using the DIR-provided Case Management System. The team will identify and document the process to generate this report, so it can be repeated quarterly by the 7th of the month following each quarter.
The Quarterly Report will include the Cases Closed and Operational Metrics for the previous quarter. Operational Metrics will include, at a minimum:
1) Average Response Time vs. Benchmark for Cases reported for that period. 2) Average Resolution Time vs. Benchmark of Cases reported for that period. 3) Comparison of Estimate Level of Effort (LOE) vs. Actual LOE for Cases reported for that period. 4) Number of Reopened Cases vs. Benchmark. 5) Number of Rejected Cases vs. Benchmark. 6) Number of Cases worked by each Successful Respondent Resource and which Core Skill Group they
worked within during that period. 7) Meantime to Resolution of Cases reported for each Successful Respondent Resource for that
period. 8) Cumulative number of Cases Closed and Approved by Core Skill Group.

TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 14 of 46
Monthly Report Development
As a one-time activity during the effort, Sense Corp will work with DIR to develop a Monthly Report using the DIR-provided Case Management System. The team will identify and document the process to generate this report, so it can be repeated monthly by the 7th of each month.
The Monthly Report will reflect the Cases Closed and Approved and Operational Metrics for the previous month. Operational Metrics will include, at a minimum:
1) Number of Cases worked by each Successful Respondent Resource and which Core Skill Group they worked within during that period.
2) Trending of the number of Cases against the average of the fiscal year-to-date numbers. 3) Trending of the projected number of Cases Closed and Approved by the end of fiscal year based on
average of months to date. 4) Cumulative number of Cases Closed and Approved by Core Skill Group. 5) Count of Cases by level of complexity and LOE. 6) Count of Cases by type (Operational/Maintenance/Enhancement). 7) Count of Case with “Non-application Issue.”
Deliverables:
▪ Deliverable 1C: Acceptance of Personnel ▪ Training Documentation (gathered through knowledge transfer and training sessions with DIR SMEs) ▪ Knowledge Base (establish) ▪ Deliverable 2: Quarterly Reports Development (one-time) ▪ Deliverable 3: Monthly Reports Development (one-time)
Service Operation
During the Service Operation Phase, the Sense Corp team will take over full ownership and responsibility for the resolution of cases and provide a commitment of service levels for performance as mentioned in Section 8 of the Statement of Work.
Ongoing Case Resolution
Once Sense Corp resources are approved/accepted by DIR, they can handle cases associated with their respective Core Skill Group. Sense Corp will follow the procedures outlined in Section 5.6.2 in the Statement
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0555D60D-A6E8-4437-93AB-A2918E0D646B
TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 15 of 46
of Work for the assignment, status updating, and resolution of cases. The Sense Corp Support Coordinator will be the primary liaison to assign cases to Sense Corp resources within the resource pools for each Core Skill Group and will be the primary point of contact for DIR.
Our proposed support services include:
▪ Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 support services▪ Case management from initial report to case closure for technical and application issues▪ Initial triage of such incidents to determine resolution path to the extent reasonably possible based
on information provided▪ Coordination (where appropriate) with DIR technology partners only
In general, the process for working through cases will include the following steps:
1) Sense Corp Support Coordinator will assign the case to a Sense Corp support resource for triage2) Sense Corp support resource will provide and record a preliminary assessment (initial Level of Effort
(LOE)) within the assigned Case to classify the case based on established guidelines.3) Sense Corp support resource will begin work on the case, which includes direct interaction with users
until the case is resolved. This will confirm that the support resource fully understands the case andwhat needs to be resolved.
4) Sense Corp support resource will use diagnosis to work through technical solution to resolve thecase.
5) Sense Corp support resource will validate resolution of the issue with internal validation / testing(where possible).
6) Sense Corp support resource will notify the end user of case resolution and confirm resolution.7) DIR end user will validate resolution of the issue with validation / testing.8) Sense Corp support resource will document the result and method of resolution and add to the
knowledge base (where appropriate).9) Reopened Cases: Cases that are returned to DIR in a “Resolved” state that are not deemed resolved
by DIR personnel can be re-initiated and either resolved by DIR resources or re-submitted to SenseCorp. If DIR resources then resolve the Case, the original Case to Sense Corp is not billable to DIR. Insituations where a Case is re-submitted to Sense Corp the original Case submission will not count as abillable Case to DIR. Only Cases successfully completed and approved by DIR will be deemed asbillable. Sense Corp shall track Cases that fit this profile and provide additional training to Sense Corpresources as necessary.
10) Cases Rejected by Sense Corp: Cases that are returned to DIR in an un-resolved state that arerejected by Sense Corp must be accompanied with a written explanation of reason for rejection. IfDIR deems the rejected Case is not within the scope of work, that Case will not be counted againstthe maximum allowed rejections. Any rejected Case shall not count as a billable Case to DIR. SenseCorp shall track Cases that fit this profile and provide additional training to Sense Corp resources asnecessary. Failure to remain within the set Service Level for number of Cases Rejected by Sense Corpmay result in a remedy.
For Level 1 support, Sense Corp resources will filter help desk calls and perform basic support and troubleshooting, such as password resets, printer configurations, break/fix instructions, ticket routing and escalation to Level 2 and Level 3 support. A Level 1 resource will gather and analyze information about the user’s issue and determines the best way to resolve their problem. Level 1 may also provide support for identified Level 2 and Level 3 issues where configuration solutions have already been documented.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0555D60D-A6E8-4437-93AB-A2918E0D646B
TX DIR – Break-Fix Services Page 16 of 46
As part of Level 2 support, Sense Corp resources will handle break/fix, configuration issues, troubleshooting, software installations, and hardware repair. We will handle escalated issues that Level 1 support is not equipped to handle. Level 2 will sometimes escalate to Level 3, depending on the issue. A level 2 resource will research and implement fixes for new issues and only escalate to Level 3, if it is out of their skill set or ability to solve.
For Level 3 support, Sense Corp resources with work jointly with DIR SMEs to handle all escalations related to troubleshooting, configuration, database administration, and repair for server, network, infrastructure, Data Center, email, file shares, and other infrastructure issues. A Level 3 resource will serve as an escalation point for difficult issues and may include hardware and software vendors, such as vendor software support, printer and copier maintenance, etc.
Through providing the various support services, we will ensure the continued execution of existing scripts or batch processes for scheduled daily cases and ad hoc operational cases, interact with end users as necessary to understand and resolve operational issues, utilize DIR-provided tools to capture task-based activities, and escalate cases with DIR SMEs or technology providers only where necessary.
Operational Reporting & Monitoring
As part of the Service Operation phase, Sense Corp will deliver quarterly and monthly status reports with the required operational metrics within the required timeframes. In addition, during the monthly status reporting, Sense Corp will include any exceptions, issues, or areas of concern and highlight any areas where opportunities for improvement may exist.
Continual Service Improvement
To improve process effectiveness, efficiency, cost effectiveness, the Sense Corp team will utilize a continual service improvement (CSI) approach to the Service Operation phase. For DIR, this means we will:
▪ Review and analyze case resolution data and trends to ensure that services are meeting agreed service levels
▪ Review case resolution data to ensure processes and procedures are achieving the desired results ▪ Conduct quarterly meetings with the team to highlight areas of improvement or concern ▪ Present recommendations to DIR team for improvements ▪ Assist in prioritizing improvement opportunities ▪ Build our knowledge base to reduce duplication of effort and more timely resolution of cases ▪ Conduct joint status meetings with DIR (as needed) to address issues, risks, areas of improvement or
concern
