8.1 Change Management Scope The initial estimation calculated on the basis of the received documents from SOFINCO, which were macroscopic in nature, is liable to undergo changes during the Design phase in case of any major scoping change. Sign-off will be obtained after successful completion of each phase and the signed off documents will serve as benchmark for any future modifications to the system. In case any changes to the initial scope occur during the Analysis and Design phase, then Polaris will carry out a re-estimation and mutually agreed upon by the two parties will be considered as the total initial cost of the project. In case of reception of requests for changes during the TS phase, Polaris will apply the same estimation grid as used for the initial estimation and will propose revised charges and schedule to the customer. The same is applicable for the Coding or Testing phase also. Fixing of defects would be Polaris responsibility and would be done free of cost. All changes are to be agreed upfront and signed-off by both parties to avoid any confrontation at a later stage.
8.2 Change Management and Estimation In case any changes to the initial scope occur during the Design phase, up to 5% of initial design effort would be accommodated with out any re-estimation of cost. But schedule impact would be considered and time line revised. In case of reception of requests for changes during the TS phase, any changes of cosmetic in nature on MAP layout and Report layout up to 5% of the effort would be accommodated free of cost. Any impact to design would require re-estimation of cost and time line. In case any changes received during Testing stages, minor or major, Polaris will carry out an impact analysis and propose a new schedule and effort.

10.2 Continuous Process Improvement At the core of the Quality management System, are the project level activities, facilitated and monitored by SQAs. All SQA findings are discussed at project review meetings and corrective action fed back into the system. Data across projects is rolled up for organizational review and incorporated into process improvement
10.3 Customer Satisfaction in the Engagement The following are the salient features of the Customer Satisfaction Process: Formal feedback initiated/invited for all projects at major milestones / once in six months An Independent entity within the company analyses the feedback and initiates action items with delivery units for managing customer expectations better.
