  4. Gartner Service Definition —Cloud Transformation Project Gate Assurance 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 evidenceto 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) Prerequisites • These services can be performed at any point in the project life cycle, after the project has commenced Any Additional Information • There is no additional information related to this service

  5. Gartner Service Definition —Cloud Transformation Project Gate Assurance 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 • Project pricing assumes that Gartner will conduct 15 –20 interviews/workshops over a period of 10 days and that the client will arrange all sessions with the client’s personnel. Each interview will be one hour in duration • All data collection/interviews/workshops will take place via phone or in person as agreed at the project kickoff • With the exception of meetings and workshops, 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).

  6. Gartner Service Definition —Cloud Transformation Project Gate Assurance 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 Backup Restore and Disaster Recovery • The Gartner service under discussion does not require Gartner to manage or store any critical client data.

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
