4. – Project Scope
4.1 – Primary Project Objectives/Deliverables
The Deliverables are set forth below and have been determined based on information provided by Customer as of the SOW Effective Date.
EXECUTE/BUILD:
Testing Only:
There are no changes to the connection method, to the file format type and/or the EDI ID’s. During testing, if the iTrade technical team reports changes to the connection method, changes to the file format or EDI ID’s that would mandate a CR and an additional fee would apply.
TESTING (UAT) DELIVERABLES:
iTradeNetwork will perform end to end testing for the documents listed in the Quote that are currently in Production.
iTradeNetwork will send up to two (2) PO’s to Customer in iTradeNetwork’s Stage environment. In the event that any of the PO’s fail, iTradeNetwork will retest and make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the issue.
DEPLOYMENT DELIVERABLES:
- Production Release Date
- iTradeNetwork and Customer to mutually agree on an initial Production Release Date after testing and UAT are complete and accepted by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the date will be determined expressly subject to iTradeNetwork’s general production release schedules and the implementation schedule being met.
- Contingency Plan
- If material issues arise during the production release, iTradeNetwork and Customer will work on and resolve the issues directly in production via the iTradeNetwork Customer Support process.
- Post Production Support
- iTradeNetwork Project Management will monitor the Deliverables to production under this SOW for up to ten (10) business days after the Production Release Date. Upon completion of Deliverables, Customer shall provide Final acceptance per Section 5.3. Thereafter, any requested support must be submitted to iTradeNetwork Support.
4.2 – Project Assumptions and Risks
Project Assumptions:
- The parties will commit the required resources to complete the Project within the agreed to schedule.
- The parties will provide the resources described in this SOW and all information outlined in the Project Plan in a timely manner.
- The success of this Project is dependent on Customer’s timely review of the Deliverables including conducting their own internal validations and/or certifications to make sure business and technical processes are met in all applicable Customer systems.
- iTradeNetwork will furnish its own development, test, and production hardware environments for this Project.
Project Risks:
- All testing will be done through iTradeNetwork’s test environment and because this is the test environment for all iTradeNetwork changes, testing delays may occur.
- Delays in the timely receipt of data, files and/or feedback during any phase of the Project may impact Project timeline estimates.
- If the appropriate and/or required Customer resources are not committed or any additional work that is considered out of scope is identified, the Project may be delayed.
- All modifications will be addressed through a CR. CR’s may extend the Project timeline and increase the costs associated with the Project depending on the iTradeNetwork CR assessment.
- Proper utilization of the defined workflow and functionality in the Solution is critical to the functionality defined within this Project. Any changes to the workflows will cause impacts to the business and may require a CR.
4.3 – Customer Obligations and Customer Materials

5. – Project Implementation Methodology and Project Estimated Due Dates
5.1 – Project Schedule Estimate
Project Phase | Estimated Schedule/Duration | Acceptance |
---|---|---|
Initiate:
|
Commences on Project Kickoff Date (1 week(s) estimated duration) |
N/A |
Testing:
|
Commences approximately 2 week(s) after Internal QA Sign-off Date through UAT acceptance (6 to 8 weeks estimated duration) |
UAT acceptance occurs upon Customer’s approval of a UAT acceptance form per Section 5.3 |
Deployment:
|
Based on iTradeNetwork’s standard deployment schedule for the Solution and UAT acceptance by Customer |
Final acceptance occurs upon completion of Project Deliverables per Section 5.3 |
The estimated Project schedule provided above is based on the amount of effort typically required for a standard implementation involving the Deliverables stated herein. A Project plan with actual dates will be provided based on a schedule agreed to by the parties during the Project Kickoff discussions. The agreed schedule will be based on the reasonable resource availability of iTradeNetwork and Customer. Following Project commencement, and an agreed Project plan, any material slippage to the agreed dates will push back the overall Project schedule and negatively impact resource allocation by iTradeNetwork and, accordingly, be subject to a CR.
5.2 – Schedule
iTradeNetwork will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Deliverables in accordance with the agreed schedule, destination and format/medium set forth in the Project plan. The iTradeNetwork Project Manager will provide Customer Project Manager with notice of any delay in a Deliverable’s delivery date as far in advance of its scheduled due date as reasonably practicable. iTradeNetwork shall not be liable for or be considered to be in breach or default on account of, any delay or failure to perform any Professional Services due to breakdown of or damage to any equipment, facilities or other property under the control of Customer; unavailability of Customer Materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, services and other necessary items; and any act or omission of Customer, its agents, or any other third party.
iTradeNetwork will not be responsible for any delays to this Project schedule which are solely due to or caused by the acts or omissions of Customer. For purposes of this paragraph, “delay” shall mean any delay in the Project that affects the completion of any Project Deliverable from being completed as scheduled. In the event of a delay caused by Customer the parties will enter into a CR to reflect the revised schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such delay occurs, iTradeNetwork may suspend or terminate the SOW, and services will not be resumed until the execution of a CR. Any additional Professional Services or any additional costs due to delays by Customer will require the written approval of Customer.
5.3 – Review of Results
Completion of UAT shall be evidenced by Customer’s approval of a UAT acceptance form, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. If Customer does not approve the acceptance form or provide a written description of material non-conformance of UAT within five (5) business days, UAT will be deemed accepted. If any other Deliverable has not materially conformed with the specifications outlined herein and as outlined in Section 4.1, Customer may only reject such Deliverable by doing so in a writing to iTradeNetwork that specifies in reasonable detail the non-conformance. iTradeNetwork will use commercially reasonable efforts to: a) correct the Deliverable within ten (10) business days, or b) if it is impracticable to correct the Deliverable within such time period, provide Customer with a written plan to correct the Deliverable, including a schedule, within three (3) business days. If iTradeNetwork disagrees with Customer’s rejection of the Deliverable, iTradeNetwork’s Project Manager will immediately notify Customer’s Project Manager and schedule a meeting to discuss and resolve the issue.
5.4 – Changes
Some minor changes to this SOW’s scope based on daily interaction between the parties is expected and such changes that do not materially impact Deliverables, schedule or costs will not require a formal, written change mechanism for approval. However, any changes materially impacting Deliverables, schedule or costs must be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing via a CR before proceeding. The originator of the change must submit a written request setting forth the proposed change in reasonable detail to the other party’s Project Manager, who in turn will review the request and respond within a reasonable period. The iTradeNetwork Project Manager will document the schedule, resource and cost implications in a CR. No work related to the CR shall commence until both parties have signed the CR. All CR’s shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this SOW and the Agreement.
