  2. Gartner Service Description — Cloud Strategy — Benefits “Litmus Test” • A Gartner report of up to 20 pages that details: • The business context • Summary of known costs and other key inputs and assumptions • An assessment and conclusion of the expected client benefits and the likelihood of realised achievability Key Benefits • An opportunity to align thinking from a number of key stakeholders using cost projections. • A clear external statement on the suitability of a specific opportunity within the context of the organisation business requirements. • Support in forming and validating an organisational viewpoint on the benefits of a Cloud Strategy. • Independent and objective analysis that can feed into a wider requirement such as business case development, or Sourcing Strategy. Service Description Gartner provides structured support in reviewing and testing the expected benefits of a Cloud Strategy. This service provides a clear indication of whether the strategy being examined will achieve the benefits being expected by the client. This service can be used to examine a Cloud Service Strategy where the business benefits need to be validated, or a complex component of a Cloud Service Strategy. Two or more litmus analysis and litmus tests can be combined to validate across cloud components. This service will make use of the extensive Gartner research and case study databases to ensure that the organisation is able to present an independent, external viewpoint to senior staff and stakeholders. Key Deliverables • Kick-off meeting to agree and document which aspects of the Cloud Strategy are in scope of the project for a fixed duration of four weeks elapsed time. • Analysis of client documentation relevant to the agreed scope - up to 400 pages. • Gartner led client stakeholder interviews to understand key considerations for the Cloud Strategy – covering up to ten interviews over no more than three consecutive calendar days. Price • Gartner will charge a firm fixed price of £29,800 excluding VAT, including all expenses for this service.

  3. Gartner Service Description — Cloud Strategy — Benefits “Litmus Test” 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 in the kickoff meeting • The due diligence (as‑is) data are reasonably available via interviews and documentation review • Client provides timely access to personnel to be interviewed.
