This Statement of Work details the deliverables, scope, and conditions associated with the execution of these services.
The execution of the services listed below is dependent upon the subscription purchased by the Client. Elements of software functionality are restricted to different subscription levels.
edison365 will only provide services that cover the subscription procured by the Client, and will not execute any works for the Client that pertain to functionality not available at the subscription level procured.
The execution of the services contained within the Statement of Work are bound by the conditions set out within the Master Services Agreement.
2. In Scope
The works executed throughout each phase of the project are subject to the following limits. The tables below highlight the maximum possible effort (budget) that may be allocated by edison365 resources to each element of work. All meetings and collaborative sessions included in the scope will be delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams.
Budget is allocated at the discretion of the lead consultant. Budget allocation is driven by the requirements of the Client, therefore where the requirements of the Client do not call for allocation of the full budget it shall not be utilized by edison365.
It is the responsibility of the lead consultant to manage the budget, and where necessary inform the Client of progress in each area. Should the project involve work that may result in the full allocation of a given budget prior to the works being completed, the lead consultant will advise the Client of the situation, confirming the total and remaining budget. As such, it is the responsibility of the Client to prioritize efforts for edison365 based on the available budget.
If you require additional budget, speak to your account manager about pricing and availability.
