Customer responsibilities
As with the successful deployment of any service there is a responsibility on the customer to invest suitable
levels of time and resource to enable a successful project and ongoing value.
During the entire period of engagement Lumesse will work with the customer to ensure that they are aware of
their roles and responsibilities.
With over 15 years of experience in implementing Talent Management solutions, we have seen countless project
successes where implementations were managed well and sponsors were delighted with the results. But often,
the project has had many ups and downs along the way to get to that successful outcome! Based on this
knowledge, we have created a 'top ten' items we feel will most impact you as an HR team and organisation in
succeeding with your implementation.
Using this list, in conjunction with our related questionnaire, we believe, gives you a great start to your project
to ensure you are set up for success.
Number one: Senior Sponsor Engagement
When there is someone at the top showing an interest in the project, who is focused on the business case goals
and objectives; projects are more likely to stay on track. There will be times when escalations are required and
the project manager doesn't have the authority to make the impact required - that's when the sponsor comes
into their own. The right sponsor gives the project gravitas, keeps the messages in line with corporate strategy
and makes sure the right people focus at the right time to get the job done.
Number two: Understanding business objectives
Although a business case and strategic reasoning is often done at a high level by most companies, often this
doesn't get filtered down to the people who actually deliver the project. It can then often be disappointing,
when the expected return on investment takes longer to achieve than expected. Our experience shows that the
project team that knows the business goals inside out (including the supplier!), alongside having a sponsor who
stays involved in the deliverables, means better execution and faster return on investment.
Number three: Involving the right people
The project team you allocate will define the level of success of the project. A good project manager is
essential, one who knows how to engage the right people and communicate well, as well as be honest about
project risks and issues. Where Customers sometimes don't invest enough, is the time of the current end users in
designing and reviewing the solution they will be using. When time out of the day-to-day role of the end users to
participate in workshops or testing is not organised, the result is often a lack of interest in the new way of
working, a negative voice about the project launch and a slower adoption rate post go live.
Number four: Foundation is key
When Lumesse trains it's consultants to implement the 'Ideal' way - we teach that the initiation phase is by far
the most important phase of a project. If you Google the top ten reasons projects fail, you will find that most
issues relate to a lack of clarity - on strategy, goals, team, or control of changes and communications. Our
7/26/2019 GCloud 5 - Service Definition - CourseBuilder.pdf
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcloud-5-service-definition-coursebuilderpdf 11/23
Service definition – Lumesse CourseBuilder Page 11
initiation phase covers all of these areas to ensure all of our projects kickoff in the right way and stay on track
until the end. Customers are often keen to progress and skip over this stage, with a desire to get to the nextstage as quickly as possible. Searching through the Lumesse lessons learned, this does not speed up the project;
instead it sets it up with risks before work has even started. Taking the time to run a good kickoff meeting and
discuss options for planning ensures realistic phases are agreed and teams can be sure they are working in
partnership with their solution provider to achieve the defined goals.
Number five: Change management
Lots of companies think that change management is a luxury exercise that they don't need to invest in, but time
and time again, we have seen projects stumble at the launch phase because not enough consideration was given
to communications, change behaviours or the adoption patterns of a new way of working. Having a well
throughout communications plan and deployment phase are two simple and inexpensive ways of working with
your company culture to achieve a good launch. Why not have a read of our change management guide for more
hints and tips?
Number six: Expect the unexpected
A project team that thinks they can deliver on time, to budget without any changes involved along the way, will
be within only 5-10% of projects that actually achieve this. A good project allows and plans for changes along
the way, ensuring there is a good change control process to manage exceptions as well as a contingency budget
to enable the changes to take place.
Number seven: The 7S's
A common consultancy model, McKinsey's 7S's looks at the wider business culture and behaviours to see how a
new project or initiative may be impacted. By reviewing the whole business with the project goals in mind
against the seven areas, you can identify areas that could impact you negatively in advance, insteading of them
hitting you mid-project. This is a valuable assessment, as our experience tells us it's often the unplanned for or
unseen issues that impact a project after go live, which a wider company review could have highlighted.
Number eight: Let's be honest
One of Lumesse's core values, 'Let's be honest' in a project environment is about managing issues and risks and
being honest about when you think things might go wrong. Understanding issues on a project, whether they are
users who are not engaged, technical teams who aren't available to support you when you need them, or
meetings planned and not attended, all contribute to the overall success of the project. How you manage and
plan contingency or resolution for these issues is what turns a bad situation into a good one. We believe in being
honest with our customers so we can work in partnership to deliver the best results. A good project manager on
the customer side with therefore also be honest, raise risks when they arise and be realistic about the 'health' of
a project so issues can be resolved early on, instead of causing major issues if ignored.
Number nine: Look for direct impacts
A common issue that Lumesse sees during implementation is other customer projects being run in parallel to the
solution implementation that impact either the success, goals or timelines of what has been set out to achieve.
For example, a planned change to the careers website due to take place 4 weeks after the planned launch of our
7/26/2019 GCloud 5 - Service Definition - CourseBuilder.pdf
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcloud-5-service-definition-coursebuilderpdf 12/23
Service definition – Lumesse CourseBuilder Page 12
Talent Acquisition product CourseBuilder, or a change in how line managers will review staff bonuses being
considered at the same time as implementing our performance module in ETWeb. Rather than focus just on thebenefits of one project, it pays to review the wider strategy of the business and understand how this one fits in,
to ensure there are no unexpected clashes at the wrong moment.
Number ten: Checkpoints
The Prince2 project management methodology teaches us about 'stage boundaries' whereby before progressing
to the next phase of a project (such as moving from Initiate to Design), there should be a set of success criteria
set out and achieved before this checkpoint is approved. Our experience has shown that Customers are often
reticent to adhere to these 'sign off points' beyond the contract signing stage as they feel it holds the project up,
or ties them up in agreements they then can't change moving forward. these checkpoints however are a really
healthy part of good project management that benefit the customer as well as Lumesse. The project initiation
document for example is an agreement between the Lumesse Project Manager and the Customer on how the
project will be delivered, what the goals are, what is in scope and who is involved. It details what we will
deliver, how often we communicate and how issues or risks are raised. We have seen that a successful
foundation of a project is essential to the overall success of a project, so the Customer benefits just as much
from signing this checkpoint as Lumesse does.

Service levels
Lumesse Service Level Agreement
Definitions
All defined terms in this SLA shall have the meaning set out in the Terms and Conditions and Order Form, unless
specified otherwise below.
‘Availability’ means that the Solution is accessible for the Customer to use. Any planned maintenance shall be
excluded from the calculation of Availability of the Solution;
‘Availability of the Solution’ will be calculated based on Verified Availability Transactions and Verified Non-Availability Transactions during the ‘AST’, according to the formula set out in section 2.1 below;
‘Agreed Service Times (AST)’ means 24 hours seven days a week;
‘Defect’ means an error that causes unexpected behaviour against the design of the Solution, in other words, a
‘Bug’;
‘Disaster’ means that the hosting centre where the Solution is hosted becomes unusable with no expected
resolution date/time;
‘Error’ means a state, identified from Incidents, that indicates an
error
in the Service or Solution;
‘Incident’ means an event whereby the Solution is not operating as expected, and (if raised by the Customer)
notified to Lumesse via the Customer Support Service Desk;

Service Availability
Service Commitment
The Company will take all reasonable measures in terms of redundancy, monitoring and platform management
to provide Availability of the Solution.
The Solution shall be available through the Internet 99.8 % of the time within the AST. Availability is calculated
per calendar month and measured based on the successful completion of the following transaction:
Loading the Solution login page for user access;
Loading to the Solution management account;
Logout from the Solution;
A transaction is deemed successful when the above is completed within 10 seconds as measured by an external
automated 'end to end' transaction response time monitor.
Calculating Availability
(Number of Verified Availability Transactions / (Number of Verified Availability Transactions + Number of
Verified Non-Availability transactions)) x 100 %
For example a service that is offered 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, would have an AST of 24 x 365 = 8,760hours per year.
A service that was planned to be available 24 x 7, which was tested by transactions every 10 minutes and had
143 Verified Availability Transactions and one Verified Non-Availability Transaction, would have an Availability
of:
(143/ (143+1)) x 100 % or 99.3 %
Over a month of 30 days of 24 x 7 the target Availability would be 43,200 minutes.
Testing Availability every 10 minutes gives 4,320 separate transaction tests.
Achieving a target Availability of 99.8 % implies 4,312 successful Verified Availability Transactions during the
month.
(4,312 / (4,312 + 8)) x 100 % = (4,312 /4320) x 100 % = 99.81 %

Information assurance
At Lumesse security is in our DNA. We believe that application development and data processing for our
customers and partners can't be separated from a proper security management system. Our security framework
is embedded in the way we work and how we service and support our customers.
Lumesse CourseBuilder does not currently hold an Impact Level (IL) accreditation.
Security governance
Our control framework is based on internationally recognised standards (CobIT, ISO 27001). Controls are
implemented based on ISO 27002. We have a dedicated Information Security Officer and a formalised
governance structure to ensure compliance to internal and external requirements and to maintain management
commitment to the highest levels.
Business Continuity
We have implemented a Business Continuity Management System based on the BS25999 and ISO 22301 best
practice standards. Business Continuity plans are maintained and regularly tested throughout our organisation.
Our Disaster Recovery plans are tested on an annual basis to ensure effectiveness and to verify recovery times.
Application Security
We develop and release our applications using strict, formalised processes. Our applications and infrastructure
are tested for potential vulnerabilities by internal and external teams on a regular basis. We use specialised
third parties to assess our applications, infrastructure and security controls to ensure we maintain market best
practices and keep up with changing threats.
