6 Change Management A System Change, for the purpose of the SLA, is a system wide change. These generally require planning and involvement with the technical teams and business managers; e.g. new supported software that needs to be deployed, the migration of data and applications to a new computer or the introduction of a new piece of hardware into the system. System Changes must be authorised prior to commencement. 7 Extended Support As part of our standard agreement we provide a 9:00am 17:30pm helpdesk service. If your business and staff require specific hours for helpdesk support, we can happily accommodate anything from set hours to 24/7 support (charges apply) 8 Projects A project is a chargeable block of work that constitutes a major change to your system such as: The introduction of a major new service or system. Examples might be the installation of a SQL database or an application. The migration or rebuild to a new hosted platform Deployment of software. Change of directory structure, file system or security model. Rebuild of a PC or Laptop. We will provide you a fixed price quotation for a project and a schedule for completing the work. Please contact your Account Manager for details. 9 Logging a Support Incident An Incident is the term that we use to record and track all support and change requests. We will only know about the Case if you register it with us through one of the recognised channels. It is therefore your responsibility to register the incident in line with the terms of this SLA. Logging an incident is the first step in the process. Support will not start unless the incident has been correctly registered with Sagari. You will know that your incident is registered when you receive an email from Support telling you who is looking after the incident and what their contact details are. There are 3 ways to log a Case and start the process of resolving your support incident: a. By email to support b. Logging a job through the portal c. By telephoning support (only if the system is down or email is unavailable) To raise a job you are required to email your incident request to supportdesk@sagari.co.uk where it creates a helpdesk request and, assigns the job to a engineer and starts the SLA timer. Alternatively you can raise a job through our website at www.sagari.co.uk/support If for any reason the system is unavailable or email is down, you can ring the support team directly
10 Response Levels It s impossible to say how long it will take to solve a given Case that depends upon a unique and unpredictable set of circumstances. However we can guarantee how long it will take us to start working on your incident from the point at which you register it.

You can choose from any version to be installed as part of your platform, which will be published out to all staff. All patches and support will be provided by Sagari as part of the service.

Your Account manager has overall responsibility for looking after you. This will include anything from customer services, business improvements, through to complaints. All support calls should initially go to the support department. Security 14 Patch Management Sagari will apply Microsoft operating system and Office applications patches to your hosted desktop within a reasonable time from their release.

In addition all copies of email under management will have a special email anti-virus system installed. This cannot guarantee that hackers, viruses and spyware will not get onto your network; however it is the best available protection and reduces your risks considerably. 16 Router and Firewall Sagari require you to procure and install either a Draytec router when we are managing your hosted desktop over your existing network/circuit. This provides our Network Operation Team (NOC) visibility of your network, so we can ensure optimum performance and easy fault diagnostics in the event of any problems. If Sagari are taking over your line, you will be provided a Cisco Router as part of the service which will be manage 24/7 by our Network Operations Team. Please note: If you choose to keep your existing supplier for providing your network/circuit (internet access), Sagari cannot guarantee network up-times and consistent performance for delivery of your
cloud services (hosted desktop). This is because we have no control over your circuit. If for any reason you are seeing any of the following Drop outs (disconnected from cloud) Performance issues Cloud access issues And we can prove up-time from our data centre. We will always do everything we can to help you, but we will refer you back to your circuit provider. Any changes being made on the network must be referred to Sagari s support team first, to ensure it will not affect access to your hosted desktop.

Your mobile workforce will have full access to their emails, calendars and contacts on the move
21 Outlook Web Access You can access your email on the move from any machine with an internet connection, using Outlook Web Access.

Disaster Recovery and Backup 23 Unlimited Backup Retention You will be provided (CDP) continuous backup retention from the point of going live with the hosted desktop platform. This means your staff data will be backed up the moment a change is made on the system (Word document, Excel Document etc) so you can restore from different points that day.
