SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND The business objective of the partner is to implement the LabTech server in a trusted environment and acquire the basic skills to manage their Clients’ computers through this system. The Implementation project is designed to get a LabTech server installed and configured to LabTech best practices and to provide instruction on the basic operations and configurations to use the software. This project allows a new LabTech partner to be up and running with their new software as quickly as possible. The goal is to get your new LabTech server installed, configured and running with all necessary components to provide a solid, proven foundation with LabTech agents deployed to your clients before the end of the consulting project. In addition, it is LabTech Software’s intention to have instructed and demonstrated the software’s most commonly used features to the point that the partner is comfortable performing the basic functions on their own. At LabTech Software, we believe that providing outstanding professional services should be an integral part of our company’s offering. Your success is also our success, so we make every effort to provide efficient and affordable professional services through expert trainers and consultants to help you fast-track your investment in the LabTech RMM platform.

SECTION 3 - COMMITMENTS

Our Commitment to You • LabTech Software will provide you with a team to ensure the successful completion of the

project. This includes coordinators from the Welcome Team for scheduling as well as experienced, qualified LabTech Software consultants to perform the services purchased. After Phase 3, LabTech Support will also be available.

• LabTech Software will ensure that resources are available to complete the work tasks and hold the meetings per the project timeline.

• LabTech Software will provide the LabTech application and the components required for it to be installed and run. LabTech Software will also perform any necessary configurations of the operating system for the application to run successfully.

• LabTech Software will provide all deliverables described in this Statement of Work (SOW). • LabTech Software will provide written communication and documents through the project

Communications Ticket. • LabTech Software will make all efforts to keep to the project schedule and milestone

projections. Occasionally an emergency circumstance, communications or technical issue may interfere with a scheduled meeting; in those cases, we will notify you as soon as possible if a need to reschedule should arise.

• LabTech Software will provide a method of feedback for each consultation session.

Your Commitment to Us • Provide a LabTech Administrator as the primary contact who will be responsible for the

project in your company. • Complete the LabTech Essentials Training online in the LabTech University or have

completed qualified training (e.g. LabTech Live Boot Camp). • Complete the Discovery Document fully to the best of your abilities and return it to the

LabTech Welcome Team coordinator. The Discovery Document includes the necessary server requirements, router and firewall configurations that need to be set prior to the project kick-off meeting with your LabTech Software consultant.

• Have a clean server that meets the requirements as laid out in the Discovery Document. • Provide Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access (must be configured before project can

begin). • Read through the documents we send you and ask questions if there is anything you do

not understand. • Providing feedback through returning surveys is appreciated. • Provide ample time for the project primary contact at your facility to keep their meetings

with the LabTech Software consultant and to complete the project requirements. • When able, please provide one (1) business day notice to reschedule any meeting. We

understand that emergency circumstances come up as is the nature of the IT services business and one day advance notice is not always possible.

• Missed meetings are defined as being absent from a scheduled GoToMeeting™ by 15 minutes or more after the start time without notifying LabTech in advance. If three (3) meetings are missed, then the project will be placed “On Hold” and be rescheduled depending upon availability.

• Rescheduled meetings: The LabTech Software consultants’ time is scheduled out weeks in advance and their time blocks are full. If you have to reschedule three (3) or more meetings, the project will be placed “On Hold” for completion at a later date. A project returned from an “On Hold” status will be rescheduled at next availability and there is no guarantee that it will be assigned to the same LabTech Software consultant.

• Please note: persistent missing or rescheduling (more than three meetings) may result in the final three (3) hours being deducted from the backend of the project.

A location may have multiple network nodes and a LabTech agent installed on each qualified node. A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logically visible subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. All computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with a common, identical, most-significant bit-group in their IP address.
