  4. Gartner Service Definition —Sourcing Road Map and Plan 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 • There are no prerequisites for this service Linked Gartner G-Cloud products This product provides the information needed for an organisation to develop a detailed sourcing strategy and road map for cloud services. Gartner also provides products to support the development of other cloud requirements and sourcing strategies. These are: • Cloud Strategy • Cloud Feasibility Assessment • Fast Track Cloud Security Review Any Additional Information • There is no additional information related to this service

  5. Gartner Service Definition —Sourcing Road Map and Plan 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 at the project initiation • The due diligence (as‑is) data is 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 interviews/workshops over a period of 5 days and that the client will arrange all sessions with the client’s personnel • 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).
