4 1. Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide clients (and potential clients) with a high level perspective of the approach, framework practices and systems that GSN has developed for establishing and maintaining the levels of solution availability required for service delivery.

Proactive Platform Management - 24x7 Proactive platform management incorporates both automated and human monitoring, alarming and management of the GSN Cloud Contact Centre platform. System management services incorporate the creation of a detailed checklist that is regularly applied across systems relevant to the Services, along with a program of human verification actions that are undertaken at pre-determined intervals. Issues identified through this process are then escalated through the Technical Support services. This provides a further layer of human verification of system parameters relevant to the Services. GSN operate a comprehensive monitoring and alarming platform that ensures that issues and potential problems are identified before they have a customer impact. Platform level monitoring generates alerts and alarms to indicate varying levels of service failure. Critical alarms indicate failures that are acutely service impacting, whilst other severities of alarm can indicate imminent or potential faults, as well issues affecting small numbers of callers. The monitoring platform raises support requests in an automated fashion ensuring that they are treated with the same ITIL aligned processes as customer raised support requests. GSN monitoring and alarming management addresses all hardware, operating system, databases and telephony components. 5 GSN Cloud Contact Centre Partnership Datasheet Global Speech Networks Commercial in

6 3. Continual Platform Upgrades A key advantage of choosing a Cloud solution is that the underlying hardware and software are upgraded on a continuous basis, to ensure that your contact centre technology is always current. With many years experience in this area, we know that change can introduce unforeseen problems and consequently we carefully manage this process to ensure that there is minimal negative impact for customer operations. Our standard approach is to thoroughly test all new hardware and software released for general availability for twelve months in our lab environment with a selected rollout to customers, on a needs basis. During this time we carefully monitor any support tickets raised and where appropriate any escalations to external resolver groups. With the full knowledge of any known issues and possible impacts on our installed customer base we advise our customers of the availability of the software and determine whether the upgrade will be beneficial. Full project management and change management processes are followed for upgrades and include extensive testing and release management processes to minimise risk. Communication to each customer about benefits and impacts as well as the migration process occurs well in advance (up to 6 months) of changes and feedback from customers is requested. For customers with the Change Control Integration option the required processes are rigorously followed. During the cutover process our engineering team and project management ensure customers are fully informed. 6 GSN Cloud Contact Centre Partnership Datasheet Global Speech Networks Commercial in
