1. Introduction
The Solution Enhancement Support Program (SESP) Customer User Guide has been developed to help you take
full advantage of the services available. The information contained in this guide will provide an overview of the
service entitlements covered under SESP and explain how you may utilize them to bring value to your
organization.
Note: Feedback related to this document should be directed to your local account team 2. SESP Overview SESP is a globally available, site-wide support agreement that has been co-developed by Honeywell and global
customers and has been uniquely designed to maximize the results you expect to achieve from your automation
control and information technology investments. SESP is intended for users of Experion® PKS, TotalPlant™
Solution (TPS), TDC3000, Honeywell QCS product lines– Quality Control System and PMD – Process Machinery
Drives systems and other Honeywell offerings that work with these core systems. The expectations to join SESP
remain the same for these systems as well, such as system needs to be at the current product release levels or
brought forward to current levels through the SESP One Time Upgrade process to join SESP.
While the benefits of Kits and Enhancements, Training Match, and other SESP deliverables have been available
to QCS and PMD customers for several years, recent Honeywell investments in Life Cycle Maintenance for these
products have increased the value and ease of keeping systems current. This continuous evolution is core to
value delivered through SESP offerings. Special focus on integration between products ensures continuing
compatibility between Experion PKS, Experion MX, and Experion PMD releases and a migration path for all
systems
Benefit Guardian ship (BGP) is SESP like offering for support on Advance Solution Applications. BGP user guide
is covered in this document under a separate section.
SESP is a tiered offering, providing basic to advanced system support delivered as a bundle of services (Value
Bundles) focused on keeping installed systems operating reliably, system software and hardware current, while providing access to global technical experts and required documentation. It provides you with a choice in
how Honeywell supports your assets, allowing you to align your automation technology support needs with your business strategies.
SESP comprises a set of core deliverables (e.g. software updates, technical assistance etc) along with many priced “options” such as hardware refresh, training match and extended computer warranties. There are five
tiered SESP support “bundles”:
Value Remote Plus Decrease in revenue loss due to unplanned shutdown and production slowdowns
Value Plus Connected Decrease in revenue loss due to unplanned shutdown and production slowdowns
Value Plus Decreased cost to resolve performance problems, and 80% decreased operating cost
Support Flex Decreased operating cost
Software Flex Decreased cost to resolve system problems
The higher value bundles cover the lower value bundle benefits though not specifically mentioned. It is recommended to use these benefits as guidance/reference as you evaluate upgrading to higher value bundles.
SESP User Guide For Honeywell and Customer Use Only Page 5
IMPORTANT NOTE: Value Plus Connected SESP bundle is withdrawn from Sales since Feb 2013, but will be supported for existing customers on it. Value Remote Plus is the new, enhanced Value Plus Connected SESP bundle delivering remote services. We encourage Value Plus Connected SESP customers to plan their transition/upgrade to Value Remote Plus for higher benefits. Check with your Honeywell representatives for details. This document retains the Value Plus Connected information for the existing customers. 3. Today’s Plant/Mill Operating Challenges
Demand for improved operational performance, combined with competitive pressures in the midst of
increasing system complexity and growing compliance requirements are forcing changes in the way process
plants keep their information and control systems up-to-date. The good news is that plant assets, if properly
managed and maintained, have an enormous impact on productivity and profits, contributing to:
o Higher quality products o Greater yield o Lower operating costs o Increased manufacturing flexibility o Improved regulatory compliance o Reduced energy consumption
Many organizations need a defined plan to extend the life of assets and a strategy for deploying the latest
technologies to reduce support costs and improve sustained performance. This strategy needs to cover the
challenges around lack of skilled resources, cost of maintenance and support and single source
accountability.

4. SESP Value Bundles and Entitlements
4.1 SESP Core Entitlements and Bundles Following table describes the SESP entitlements, its deliverables and how customer can avail these. It may be worth noting following two points related to Value Plus connected and Remote Plus entitlements. VPC: Requires a secure, remote connection between the customer and Honeywell. Remote diagnostics can be used to help proactively manage the plant’s network and installed automation systems. Honeywell recommends and can provide tips about the selection of appropriate technology, installation and test of the connection. VPC is withdrawn from sales, only renewals are allowed VRP: Requires a secure connection based on a Honeywell qualified technology (called Service Node). Remote connection to site via Service Node enables faster diagnosis and problem resolution.

I.e., for a SESP contract value of $100K, Customer can allocate up to $10K and Honeywell will add $10K to make it $20K funds. Training Match funds cannot be carried over to next year. This fund is like “use or lose” type
The Training Match fund can be used to cover up to 4 customer member's HUG registration fees. Thus HON matches 2 customer’s registration fees. The Limit of 10% of SESP contract value includes the funds that could be used for HUG registration. Ie, HUG registration is just an additional flexibility within Training Match funds.
Training Match funds can be applied for customers’ direct employees on standard Honeywell Process Solutions Automation College courses. BGP alone does not offer Training Match. Advance Solution training modules could be requested within SESP Training Match option.

Un-used funds could be added as Training Match funds and could be utilized for Automation college training purposes as per Training Match rules. These funds are like “use it or lose it” within current year.
If Training Match is not included, then unused On Demand Tech Webinar funds will be lost since they cannot be carried forwarded to next year.
Hardware Refresh with Preferred Price (includes Virtual systems): Allows customers to plan and finance an upgrade as part of their hardware support program. Provides the customer the ability to budget for planned payments on an annual basis allowing the site to upgrade the computer hardware for the specified nodes covered under the contract.
