Project SALT Infrastructure Transition Plan

The document outlines Project SALT's transition plan from the incumbent provider to Deleted. It discusses considering engagement complexity, transition timelines, and risk mitigation. The transition approach proposes knowledge transfer, retaining talent, and incremental knowledge sharing. It analyzes different service towers using an Engagement Complexity Index to group them into parallel transition waves based on complexity and criticality to minimize disruption.

Transition Approach for Managed Services
Is designed based on the following key considerations based on our experience in Deleted and information gathered from
RFP

Detailed Knowledge transfer with focus on documentation and standardization for all outsourced
services like Service Desk, EUC, Mainframe etc.

Retain the Talent through rehiring Deleted identified SMEs for services managed
(insourced) by Deleted

Incremental knowledge transfer for the services where Deleted is supporting along with
Deleted SMEs

Impact of in-flight projects and outcomes on the transition and ongoing support

4
Rationale for proposed approach
Is based on detailed analysis of information from RFP using Deleted’s Engagement Complexity Index (ECI) framework. The ECI framework provides
indicative transition timelines for respective tower based on complexity, criticality, stability and Deleted knowledge about Deleted
Parameter Complexity ( 100 %) Criticality (100 %) Stability ( 100 %) Other Engagement Parameters ( 100 %)

Based on the information provided in the RPF various weightage factors has been applied based on our experience of executing more than 100 + transition and based on those criteria. Deleted plans to propose parallel start and staggered cutover based
transition with technology services service desk and EUC followed by Data Center Services transition to ensure customer satisfaction is maximum and minimum interruption to the business operations by starting with lower complex and moving to higher
complex regions

Network Connectivity • Deleted will leverage the existing ODC to start Project Salt services. The existing Network shall be leveraged for Project Salt

Delivery Center Readiness • Deleted delivery locations in India and Phoenix are ready. We are already providing services from our India delivery locations.

• Deleted has approx. 70 resources supporting Deleted which is also part of the RFP scope. Based on our knowledge and skill
Deleted SME onboarding
requirement for Deleted, we will proactively onboard additional resources as per proposed timelines

• Based on our past experience with Deleted we have captured and developed a robust KM portal ( https://Deleted.Deleted.com) that
KM portal on Deleted will be leveraged to onboard other resources. Train the trainers approach will be leveraged for existing knowledge.

Deleted Boot Camp • Deleted has executed more than 40 Transitions across Apps and Infra services and developed detailed collateral to expedite
collateral onboarding process. We will leverage this experience and conduct boot camps as part of pre -planning phase.

Transition PMO • Transition and Transformation PMO resources have been identified and will be assigned during pre planning phase itself

Risk Tracking and


• We have developed a comprehensive risk register to track risk at each level and have a mitigation plan for a risk free transition.
Mitigation

ITSM process gap • As a investment within the existing program initiative Deleted ITSM COE team will do a proactive detailed process gap assessm ent
assessment for Deleted in next 12-16 weeks and will have a detailed report ready to be reviewed during Transition planning phase

• Deleted has submitted a detailed MPP plan which is 80% ready. We will refine this plan post due diligence and will use as a baseline
