Implementation Service Description
The Implementation Service provides Proof Subscribers with a time- and materials-based, remote consulting engagement during business hours to assist with architecting, planning, and integrating the Proof Platform via API for an embedded product experience, including discovery sessions with stakeholders to align business objectives and technical requirements, governed by Proof's General Terms and detailed in the Order Form.
Objectives
The Implementation Service (the “Implementation Service”) is designed to provide Proof Subscribers with a straightforward and cost-effective approach to architect, implement, and start using the Proof Platform quickly and effectively. This Implementation Service Description outlines the service in detail. The Implementation Service includes access to Proof’s Solution Engineering organization to consult and assist with API integration for an embedded product experience. The performance of the Implementation Service is governed by the Proof General Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meanings given in the General Terms, the Proof Glossary, or this Implementation Service Description. If a Subscriber has a separately negotiated agreement in lieu of the General Terms, that agreement governs the Implementation Service.
The Implementation Service is delivered as a time and materials engagement, not to exceed the number of hours stated on the Order Form, unless Subscriber provides prior written consent via a mutually agreed change authorization. Additional hours beyond the Engagement Term are invoiced monthly in arrears at the rate reflected on the Order Form. The Implementation Service is delivered remotely and during business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time, Monday to Friday.
Approach and Activities
The following activities are included within the scope of the Implementation Service, as the project dictates and time allows. Not all activities will necessarily be performed.
Architecture Discovery and Planning Phase
A discovery and planning session is typically delivered first. Proof Solution Engineering will meet with Subscriber executive stakeholders to:
- Validate Subscriber business objectives and their vision in the context of their use case(s)
Proof Solution Engineering will further meet with Subscriber’s application owner, application architect, or any required business stakeholders to:
- Gather information about the Subscriber environment and requirements
- Plan architecture design, deployment, and configuration roll-out
- Determine key architectural design decisions that may affect other implementation details
- Plan training session delivery, as applicable
Architecture Design and Implementation Assistance Phase
Once the Architecture Discovery and Planning Phase is completed, Proof Solution Engineering will deliver remote consulting engagements, typically including the following, as time allows:
- Provide real-world subject matter expertise to assist in design guidance for the solution
- Provide configuration guidance for the Proof Platform
- Provide technical product expertise around endpoint usage, webhook management/implementation, change management workflows, and document tagging best practices
- Assist with the implementation of the API
- Provide all necessary access documentation and testing materials/resources
Launch Support Phase
- Provide supplementary data reporting to validate success of the integration (transaction completion, meeting success rate, throughput time for signer receiving documents to complete signing, etc.)
- Provide a review of the integration (either written asynchronously or via a joint meeting, as decided by the Subscriber)
- Provide a list of recommendations to further enhance the solution as part of future Subscriber deployments (as applicable)
- Provide knowledge transfer on:
- Security principles and practices
- Architecture and design best practices
- Automation and controls
- Product deployment, configuration, and usage
- Organizational alignment best practices
- Record sessions of discussion and/or strategy development for posterity
Outcomes
By the end of the engagement, the following outcomes are expected to be achieved:
- All phases are complete but the hours required to achieve completion will not exceed the number of hours stated on the Order Form
- Basic and advanced configurations and rules meeting requirements are defined
- Proof solution is implemented for the primary target use case and is deployed to production. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proof is not responsible for completing the implementation if the configuration or operation of a Subscriber system or application prevents completion of the implementation
- Go-live deployment review is complete
- At least one Subscriber employee is trained and enabled as a Proof Subject Matter Expert (SME) to own relevant design decisions for the Subscriber moving forward. Proof recommends Subscriber build a written or recorded playbook of the Proof workflow which is made available to Subscriber’s administrators and users (Proof can help with this documentation upon request).
- Landing page within Subscriber’s workflow clearly outlines for Subscriber’s customers how the flow works and what to expect (Proof can help with this documentation upon request)
- Business goals agreed upon with the Subscriber’s executive stakeholders during the Architecture Discovery and Planning Phase are achieved
Prerequisites and Assumptions
For the Implementation Service to be successful, the following prerequisites and assumptions are made:
- Subscriber will have a pre-production environment replicating production, with the ability to generate a load representative of the load in production
- Subscriber agrees to commit application architects and other application subject matter experts responsible for the applications to work with Proof Solution Engineering for the duration of the engagement
- Subscriber agrees to commit the appropriate technical resources for the duration of the delivery engagement, including the technical resources with administrator access to all systems potentially involved in the workflow
- Subscriber agrees to assign a Technical Project Manager to be the point person to work with Proof Solution Engineering and help coordinate the delivery of activities
- Subscriber agrees to attend regular status review meetings with Proof Solution Engineering, as needed
- Up to 10% of consulting time may be utilized towards project management with the Implementation Service. Additional consulting hours may be utilized towards project management, as needed.
- Hours not used within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of the full execution of the Order Form with which this Implementation Service Description is associated will expire without the right of a refund
Warranty
The Implementation Service will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner.
