2 Project Objectives
The primary objective of this engagement is to integrate Office 365 with City of Albanys
current IT environment and migrate data to the new platform. To facilitate this project,
SADA will perform discovery and Active Directory remediation and then move mail data

for updating Albanys Outlook clients and work for a successful and seamless transition.

partnership.
Specific prerequisites such as environment needs, test accounts, network access for
testing are detailed further, herein.

5 Scope of Work
5.1 Office 365
The proposed platform is Microsofts Office 365, which is a multi-tenant hosted messaging
and collaboration platform, and represents a suite of the following services: Exchange
Online, SharePoint Online, Lync Online, and Office Professional Plus. The SOW herein may
represent deployment of the entire suite of Office 365 services, or individual services. Since
the solution is hosted by Microsoft it is subject to Microsofts product roadmap and
product lifecyclecustomers cannot determine the roadmap. Since Office 365 is hosted
by Microsoft and is a multi-tenant environment, customizations of the services are not
possible.

V Training + Adoption
Administrative Training
6 Project Approach
6.1 Phase I Planning and Envisioning
The Planning and Envisioning Phase unifies our respective project teams behind a
common vision and allows the SADA project team to prepare the functional specifications,
work through the design process, prepare work plans, and determine the schedules for
the various deliverables. This is one of the most fundamental requirements for project
success, as the engagement management team and project team must have a clear vision
of what they want to accomplish.
Stakeholders
Project Managers
Technical Personnel
6.1.4 Discovery
SADA will perform discovery of client's existing infrastructure, and gather all information
needed to plan for a successful migration. This phase is designed to collect, verify &
validate the environment specific factors and considerations that are required to complete
this project. This will include the following:
Activities such as data entry, data validation, meetings, conference calls, and a variety of
other administrative or technical remediation activities are not uncommon.
AD Remediation review
Active Directory and Exchange Remediation review
Identity Envisioning
Desktop Readiness Discussion and Consulting for Office Deployment 2 Sessions
Networking requirements sessions (2 session included) + architecture docs
SMTP Relay, EOP, Mailflow and Routing and Networking requirements (1 session)
DNS Consulting (as applicable)
Migration Experience Discussion (1 session included) + architecture docs
Office Pro-Plus Deployment Envisioning and Consultancy
Desktop Readiness Discussion (1 session included) + architecture docs
6.3.2 MX Cutover
Once all of the data is completely migrated, SADA Systems will change the DNS records
to point mail flow to the new Online Services mail platform. During this phase of the
project timeliness is essence; for this reason SADA requires access to the DNS records at
the start of the project to ensure our ability to change them at the proper time.
It should be noted that SADA will not touch end-users machines, but will provide the
consultancy for desktop readiness.
Any modifications to any Retention Policies or Retention tags after the initial
implementation of MRM based on the design session will be pursuant to the Change
Order process outlined in this SOW.
MRM doesnt guarantee retention of every message. For example, a user can delete or
remove a message from their mailbox before the message reaches its retention age;
MRM isn't designed to prevent users from deleting their own messages.
6.3.6.4 eDiscovery
SADA will provide additional consultation and support around eDiscovery workloads in
addition to what SADA already provided in the pilot phase of the Office 365
implementation covered in a previous SOW. Consultation and support is not to exceed
10 hours.
SADA will use only DLP templates that are natively provided by Office 365 and will make
any modification to these templates to fulfill pilot requirements at its discretion.
Construction of custom DLP policy templates is expressly out of scope and its inclusion
after the execution of this agreement will be pursuant to the Change Order process
outlined in this SOW.
7.2.1 Training
SADA will work with City of Albanys training team to develop a customized training plan
for the pilot users as well as City of Albany training team. City of Albany has expressed a
deep desire to intricately plan every aspect of this rollout of Office 365 especially as it
relates to end user experience. This transition will fundamentally change the way that City
of Albany users are used to interacting with their email and SADA has developed the
following plan in order to best prepare the training team and pilot team. The training is
comprised of:
7.2.1.1 Webinars:
All webinars have a minimum of five (5) participants and a maximum of 100 participants.
All webinar sessions shall be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Pacific),
Monday through Friday (with the exception of national holidays). Sessions scheduled
outside of this time period will be subject to additional fees.
7.2.1.2 Additional Considerations:
All training must be completed within four (4) weeks of the final Go Live date.
All sessions are conducted in English only.
8 Project Management
All projects are handled by our dedicated Project Management Office (PMO). Our Project
Management Organization inherits over 55 years of collective experience overseeing
extremely dynamic, sophisticated and complex software, platform and infrastructure
projects. City of Albany will gain full access to this team, which is supported by a full time
Business Analyst, and will have a dedicated Project Manager at its disposal.
