Communication and status reporting
XTGlobal believes in transparent reporting with customers and to achieve this we use several KPIs to measure the service levels performance. XTGlobal will provide periodic reports to monitor how the service is being delivered and to apprise senior management with the help of our Customer Success Manager.
Consistent communication and status reporting is a vital part of our customer satisfaction efforts. As part of our ITIL and PMBOK methodology we will formulate a detailed communication and control model. The guidelines from this model can be leveraged by your leadership to establish proper levels of ownership over operations and ensure that all policies and procedures are properly followed. The elements of this model include processes, policy, procedures, and other resources required to carry out effective project management.
In addition to the Service Delivery Manager, an Engagement Manager, who reports to XTGlobal’s executive management, will have an oversight to the execution of the implementation & support project. The Engagement Manager will work closely with customer’s management team to make sure service level commitments are being met.
It is a general practice with XTGlobal to conduct monthly meetings with the City of Hemet executive/Project Sponsors to review the implementation progress and discuss any major concerns. XTGlobal Support Manager, Engagement Manager and Executive Management or Designate will be present and provide an opportunity for the customer to discuss any shortcomings.
XTGlobal proposes the following to maintain active communication with all stakeholders through different means and at different intervals:
Weekly Status Reports

Project Management Approach
Issues Management:
Throughout the term of this SoW, issues may arise requiring further information or a decision for resolution. The project team’s objective is to resolve all issues at the lowest level possible. When an issue cannot be resolved at the project team level, the following escalation path will be followed. Each contact shall have the amount of time indicated in the “Response Time” column for bringing resolution to the issue, prior to the issue being escalated to the next contact level.
Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance criteria for deliverables need to be defined in THE CITY OF HEMET terms:
▪ Specific.
▪ Measurable.
▪ Agreed (between The City of Hemet and XTGlobal at definition). ▪ Realistic (the deliverable can be realized, and the criteria can be measured). ▪ Timely (deliverables can be realized in the provided or available time frame).
Continuous Improvement Approach
As an organization, XTGlobal believes in providing its partners with immediate cost savings through an accelerated delivery service in an incremental method of continuous improvements. XTGlobal works with customers to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Then Plan the change, implement on a small scale. Analyze the results to implement the change in wider scale and assess the results continuously for process efficiency and customer satisfaction. This is an on-going effort to improve the service and increase the quality, by focusing on the behavior first and then the processes.

owner. Mapping legacy data into the system is probably the most challenging part of the conversion process because the system is a normalized database (and most legacy applications are not).
Validate Staging. During this step, the system validates the data you loaded into the staging tables. Note that validation rules validate your staging data using the control tables that have been set up in production.
Assign Production Keys. During this step, the system allocates random, clustered keys to the rows in the staging database.
XML Resolution. During this step, the system resolves legacy keys that may be mapped to an XML storage field with new values that were assigned in the key assignment step.
Insert Rows Into Production. During this step, the system populates your production tables with rows from the staging. When the rows are inserted, their prime keys and foreign keys are reassigned using the data populated in the key assignment and XML resolution steps.
Validate Production. During this step, you rerun the object validation processes, but this time against production. We recommend performing this step to confirm that the insertion programs have executed successfully.

5. XTGlobal Consultants Support Methodology
At XTGlobal, we believe in providing reliable and qualitative support to our clients throughout the project to enable them to get the best ROI out of their investment. To achieve this, we have come up with the Cloud Enterprise Support Methodology (CESM) to ensure efficient and consistent delivery support to our clients. Based on ITIL frameworks, our systematic approach helps our clients mitigate risks, adopt cost-efficient practices, and build a stable IT environment. With a focus on growth, scalability, and lowered costs, XTGlobal, CESM methodology uses well-defined frameworks, phases, and milestones to keep the project on track at all costs.
Cloud Enterprise Support Methodology (CESM)
These are some of the key components of our Cloud Enterprise Support Methodology (CESM):
Service Strategy and Design:
In this phase, XTGlobal tries to understand the client’s requirements on a strategic level.
Based on our service offerings, we align them with the client’s service needs as much as possible to derive the best results.

System Stabilization, Steady State, Operational Maturity:
Once the system is designed and developed, several aspects come into play to keep it up and running. From day-to-day operations to routine incidents, there are certain support issues that need to be addressed on a continuous basis. This stage addresses several critical aspects of the project such as Incident Management, Problem Management (with root cause analysis), Instance Management, Patch Management, and Knowledge Management. It encompasses business process improvements to improve performance and reliability.
Continuous Improvement:
At this stage, the processes are in the stage of being finalized. Any improvements to efficiency are determined at this stage. Using metrics, we determine the reliability of the new system even when there are changes in the customer’s requirements. At this stage, our focus is on eliminating outstanding support issues as much as possible and ensuring overall customer satisfaction.
Importance of Cloud Enterprise Support Methodology (CESM) The CESM is a proven tool to track system and service performance. It is an effective measurement system to ensure quality in project deliverables. Apart from ensuring better service levels, it also focuses on improved customer adoption rates and customer satisfaction ratings.
CESM ensures:
• Easy access to known issues and solutions through knowledge base tools. • Change Management, Instance Management, and Patch Management tools to ensure smooth transitions with minimal business disruption.
• Reduced incidents over a period of time.

1. Remote Access
If any XTGlobal personnel requires remote access to the CITY OF HEMET Facilities to perform any services under this SoW, THE CITY OF HEMET is responsible for creating a secure platform for remote access by such XTGlobal personnel. At a minimum, this will consist of (a) the maximum allowed encryption supported by both THE CITY OF HEMET and XTGlobal for a VPN tunnel and (b) a terminal services environment secured and controlled by THE CITY OF HEMET with remote access granted to XTGlobal. This will allow for all Work Products and data to remain onsite in the THE CITY OF HEMET Facilities and in full control of THE CITY OF HEMET.
THE CITY OF HEMET is responsible for preventing XTGlobal from removing any Confidential Information from the THE CITY OF HEMET Facilities via remote access. At no time will THE CITY OF HEMET grant unencrypted remote access to XTGlobal.
XTGlobal will follow the THE CITY OF HEMET documented access control procedures to gain remote access to the THE CITY OF HEMET Facilities. As part of the THE CITY OF HEMET Security Procedures, the THE CITY OF HEMET will provide VPN and terminal services tools, and the necessary network and environment logins to ensure that XTGlobal consultants will never have remote access to the THE CITY OF HEMET data except through those tools and logins. XTGlobal consultants will use those tools and logins for both onsite and remote access and will not have access to THE CITY OF HEMET data, except through those tools and logins.
2. Disaster Recovery for Oracle SaaS Public Cloud Services Disaster Recovery is crucial because companies need to be able to access their information around the clock. Uptime is everything when running an application on a public cloud. Having a Disaster Recovery plan secures the business-critical processes in the event of a disaster. Its cloud-based nature ensures continuous backup and instant availability, so if a physical site becomes temporarily unavailable, there is no lag time
22.H.
ERP Implementation Services - City of Hemet
XTGlobal Inc.,
in accessing information from the cloud.
Disaster Recovery (DR) services for Oracle SaaS Public Cloud services are intended to provide service restoration capability in the event of a major disaster, as declared by Oracle. Oracle will determine whether an event constitutes a disaster requiring the execution of the DR plan for the affected service.
Oracle will work to perform DR services for Oracle SaaS Public Cloud Services as described below.
For Remote Cloud Services, Oracle will work to provide DR services for the SaaS Public Cloud Service on the underlying platform contingent on You first performing the following to support disaster recovery in accordance with the DR plan: You must provide a secondary data centre site with network connectivity of sufficient bandwidth as determined by Oracle between Your primary and disaster recovery sites; and You must purchase sufficient additional services deployed at Your secondary site for disaster recovery purposes (e.g., an adequate number and type of Oracle Public Cloud Machines and SaaS Public Cloud Service subscriptions on that platform).
Oracle Public Cloud Machine and other Oracle Cloud Services that are deployed on Oracle Public Cloud Machine as the underlying platform, are examples of Remote Cloud Services.
Recovery Time Objective: Recovery time objective (RTO) is Oracle’s objective for the maximum period between Oracle’s decision to activate the DR recovery processes described in this document to failover the Oracle SaaS Public Cloud Service to a secondary site due to a declared disaster, and the point at which You can resume production operations in the standby production environment at the secondary site. If the decision to failover is made during the period in which an upgrade is in process, the RTO extends to include the time required to complete the upgrade. The RTO objective for each Oracle SaaS Public Cloud Service is described in this document below or is otherwise stated in the service description of the applicable Cloud Service.
Recovery Point Objective: Recovery point objective (RPO) is Oracle’s objective for the maximum period of data loss measured as the time from which the first transaction is lost until Oracle’s declaration of the disaster. The RPO does not apply to any data loads that are underway when the disaster occurs. The RPO objective for each Oracle SaaS Public Cloud Service is described in this document below or is otherwise stated in the service description of the applicable Cloud Service.
The RTO and RPO objectives do not apply to customizations that depend on external components or third-party software. During an active failover event or recovery operations, non-critical fixes and enhancement requests are not supported. Oracle is not responsible for issues arising from third party software and customizations to Oracle programs and services.

Enterprise ERP Workflow is a
comprehensive system
engineered to meet the
specific needs of the public
sector. It extends the
functionality and productivity
of the EERP system by
automatically notifying the
indicated end users when
action is needed, rather than
requiring them to look it up
manually.
The workflow system includes
an extensive approval engine,
monitoring hundreds of
processes throughout the
system. Approvals, alerts, and
notifications are generated to
users dynamically based on
the business rules created.
Flexible business rule creation
allows for universal,
sequential and parallel preapprovals, and “one or all” rules. Catchall rules can be
created to ensure that some
approvals are generated even
when no rules apply.
Workflow for key processes,
such as payroll processing,
can be configured to prevent
users from doing things out of
order. Routing and approval
criteria containing “and/or”
logic for building complex
rules include dollar amount
ranges, GL segment, over
budget conditions, and more.

deposit handling functionality.
Deposits can be established by
“Type” which can be flexible to
define by service, service class
(eg commercial vs Industrial vs
Residential), and customer
type or credit situation.
Choosing the deposit type can
be predefined during the Move
In transition which normally
assigns the defaults of deposit
types anticipated based on
services at the incoming
premises. A user can manually
assess deposit types on
accounts at any time as well
(reassessing a deposit,
contractual overrides, etc).
Deposit assessments can also
have scripted definitions on
what criteria to base the
amount on. For example, a
utility can select bill history of
the past 24 months on the
premises service to average a
bill amount, then multiply by
two for a 2x Deposit rule.
Another more complex
example is to remove the
highest and lowest of the last
24 months and average the
rest or add a factor on top of
the average. In all cases, the
computed variables are stored
on the assessment for audit
backup on the calculation and
a user can override to smooth
the amount as needed.
Assessments can also define
how many installments it is
eligible for, and if the
0 a and f are supported; e can
be supported
visually/manually if an
integration with Online Utility
Exchange is leveraged.
4 – Our solution has a
robust and flexible deposit
capability allowing the City
to determine unique
deposit rules by customer
class. The City can choose
to leave the deposit on the
customer’s account, or
refund the deposit after a
period of time. You can
refund the deposit via check
or apply the refund to the
