Operations, training and governance

Scope

• Support and monitoring with service levels defined in the contract for each service.
• Operations teams: sizing, training and coaching.
• Training for users and administrators with reusable materials and assessment.
• Governance: change control, risk management, evidence records and audit support.
• Coordinating the reversibility deliverables of all contracted services.

Deliverables

• An operating model: roles, hours and escalation.
• Regular service reports.
• A training plan and materials, with attendance and assessment records.
• Change and evidence records.
• A handover plan and a handover record.

Deployment options

Operations run by IP World, shared with the client's team or handed over to it during the contract, according to the agreed model.

Limits and dependencies

• Support commitments published for connectivity services do not automatically apply to other services; each service has its own agreement.
• Training prepares teams; it does not replace supervised experience on the job.
