5 Pricing The below are three individual services and are priced individually at the following rates; archiving File archiving SharePoint archiving To price this solution, the Consumer should follow these simple steps: 1. Determine the Documentum components and licenses required 2. Size the required solution to determine the required Infrastructure components a. How many Virtual Machines of each type b. How much Storage capacity 3. Determine price for deployment & management services not provided by Skyscape Step 1: Documentum Licenses The following license can be selected for the solution; Software Unit Price , SharePoint and File Archive Service /Per mailbox per month 0.38 The above licenses provide a range of Documentum components that are required to provide the end use of the service. All pricing is exclusive of VAT. Step 2: Infrastructure Sizing Based on the Application architecture, determine the amount of Compute and Storage services that are required. It is likely that you will have requirements for Database servers, Content Servers, Application Servers and so on. For each server, determine: Required Impact Level Required Service Level Required Virtual Machine size (amount of CPU and RAM) Amount of storage capacity Based on the answers above, use the following Skyscape Service descriptions for pricing: Compute as a Service (Production) Compute as a Service (Test & Dev) API accessible Cloud Storage Step 3: OS & Documentum deployment and management Skyscape do not provide services for the deployment or management of the application and so customers will need to perform these activities themselves or select appropriate partners. The pricing for the following items can be found in the Skyscape Pricing Guide.

Service options This service simply inherits the Service Options provided by the underlying IaaS services. Please see the underpinning Skyscape service descriptions; Compute as a Service (Production) Compute as a Service (Test & Dev) Skyscape API accessible Cloud Storage offering Backup / Recovery & Disaster Recovery As standard, localised failures are tolerated within the infrastructure by eliminating all single points of failure (including server failure or disk failure). See the Product / Service Options section for details about backup. Service levels Skyscape provide both an Availability SLA and Response Time SLA for the service as per the following table. BASIC STANDARD ENHANCED Availability (monthly*) 99.90% 99.95% 99.99% Incident response Incident update Communication Auto response with access to online portal P1 within 15 minutes P2 within 4 hours P3 within 24 hours P4 within 72 hours P1 hourly P2 every 2 hours P3 every 24 hours P4 every 24 hours Bespoke P1/P2 Phone P3/P4 Bespoke Skyscape customer support advisor Incident review FAQs via online portal Incident Report Incident Report Service credits 5% of monthly 10% of monthly 15% of monthly * Availability indication based on an average 730hrs per month. Excludes planned & emergency maintenance. Unavailability applies to existing data where the data becomes inaccessible due to a fault recognised at the IaaS layer or lower: i.e. fault is not within the Consumers control (OS, Applications, user networks) fault is within Skyscape controlled components such as the storage infrastructure, power and physical firewalls & routers etc. Skyscape Cloud Services Limited, 2013 Open Page 8 of 12

10 Appendix On-boarding and off-boarding On-boarding An organisation will need to engage a Documentum partner to build a definition of their case management system requirements and the configuration / composition of the system, as well as the more detailed activities for the system to integrate to the organisation s existing business processes. Once the required Infrastructure and Licenses have been determined the appropriate components can be selected from Skyscape. IaaS will be on-boarded as per the IaaS Service Descriptions. EMC propose comprehensive on-boarding and offboarding consultancy services through their Lot 4 submission to G-Cloud Framework. Off-boarding Prior to terminating the contract, the Consumer is able to transfer all their data out of the solution (e.g. using the Skyscape API to retrieve data). When the organisation terminates their agreement with Skyscape, Skyscape ensures all of the organisation s data is deleted. Service management As a true Cloud service aligned to the NIST definition of IaaS, the service is designed to be self managed via the secure online Skyscape API and the Skyscape Portal which provides common Service Management functionality and addresses standard requirements. On rare occasions, Skyscape may decide to assign an experienced, qualified ITIL Service Delivery Manager to some Consumers. In these cases, the SDM will provide additional assistance with reporting, incident escalation and continual service improvement, at all times following Skyscape s ISO20000 certified ITIL-based process framework. For Organisations that require more of a managed service, Skyscape work with a number of Partners which have extensive capability to provide a Managed Service wrapper around the Skyscape IaaS. Skyscape will be pleased to make an introduction where appropriate. Skyscape may use MDS Technologies as a subcontractor. Other subcontracts can / may be used.
