2.     Order Gateway Performance Service Level Key Performance Indicator (“OG SLA”)

Order Gateway under a Normal Transaction Flow (as described below) will respond to **** of the Customer Orders for a Channel within **** of its receipt by the Order Gateway in any given **** provided such Customer Order is in the documented format and has been submitted by AT&T per the published process documentation and successfully pass Supplier’s Order Gateway validations (as described below).  AT&T will have the responsibility to produce reports from the Order Gateway, or request such reports from Supplier, to measure the results and determine if this SLA Key Performance Indicator is met. AT&T and Supplier shall mutually agree on the format of such reports.  Measurement will be based on **** for a given Customer Order.  Supplier will comply with AT&T’s requests for data in accordance with the measurement. 

“Normal Transaction Flow” means:

a.     Volumes and distributions are within the expected capacity thresholds for ASP Solution as identified in the Amended and Restated Agreement

b.     The sending system emits a valid message for the activity desired per the agreed upon schema. 

c.     The AT&T client is also sending messages at the rate both Parties have determined acceptable for the Channel and via the agreed upon protocol.

d.     AT&T systems are accepting and correctly processing responses from the Supplier platform.

During the Normal Transaction Flow, it is assumed that the client is sending the correct number of messages per Transaction.

Order Gateway Validations:  Upon receipt of a message, the Order Gateway will validate the message against the specified schema and/or configured business rule.  Additional security, database and business logic analysis will be performed to ensure the message can and should be processed by the Supplier system.  If both of these activates are successful the Order is submitted for processing.

3.     Automation Rates, SLAs and Remedies for Customer Orders:  

The Parties agree that measurement of automation levels and partial automation levels for Customer Orders is an important metric in overall subscriber satisfaction and the costs of both Parties.  As such, the following parameters are established to review and monitor Automation Rates on agreed upon Customer Orders.  The Parties acknowledge that the Actual Automation rate or Rate of Fallout may have many factors and causes including those that are not indicative of any failure or inadequate performance by a Party.  As such, the Parties shall meet **** to establish and review the parameters and requirements for measuring Automation Rates and, discuss adjustments as may be reasonably agreed upon by the Parties from time to time.  Any such adjustments shall be made pursuant to the Change Order Process under the Master Agreement. 

1.     Establishing Expected Automation Rate.

The Parties shall mutually agree in writing on the Customer Orders that constitute the Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class.  Such orders shall be:

(a)   supported by a Workflow and Order Manager configuration, process and flow that supports such Orders being capable of being an Automated Order (i.e., is not a workflow or process that has, by business rule or otherwise, an anticipated Fallout condition for each such Customer Order), and

(b)   of a similar nature or type so as to provide meaningful Automation Reporting output for management purposes as reasonably agreed upon by the Parties without undo detail or quantities of measurements and reports.

(c)   Customer Orders with an established and tested Order Manager and Workflow configuration for at least ****.

Amendment and Restatement of Order No. SG021306.S.025.S.001

 

Upon establishing the Customer Order Class, the Parties shall study the Automation Rate of the Customer Order Class for Completed Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class over the **** period that does not include a Special Event (an “Evaluation Period”) where the following data is reasonably constant or static during such Evaluation Period (collectively, the “Baseline Data”):

(a)   Mix of the types of Customer Orders within the Customer Order Class and the Automation Rate for such Orders,

(b)   Volume and arrival distribution of such Customer Orders,

(c)   Relative occurrence of issues that impact or cause Fallout or a Customer Contact (excluding Fallout as a result in a Defect in the ASP Solution or error in configuration or implementation of a process or workflow in the ASP Solution by Supplier), and

(d)   Current processes, workflow and task requirements and the SLA requirements established for the Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class as well as average handle times and system response times for connected applications external to the ASP Solution that are applicable to the Orders and related parameters (such a system timeouts and “retries”) (collectively, the “Requirements”).

The Parties shall use the Average Automation Rate for the Customer Order Class over each **** of the Evaluation Period less **** as the Expected Automation Rate for such Order Class.  In the event that, for each **** of an Evaluation Period, the **** Automation Rate varies from the average Automation Rate in such Evaluation Period by more than ****, the Parties shall (a) defer the assignment of an Expected Automation Rate for such Customer Order Class or (b) conduct such evaluation on an extended or new Evaluation Period, as may be reasonable, until such discrepancy and deviation is less than or equal to ****. 

For each Customer Order Class that has an established Expected Automation Rate, such rate shall remain the same during each **** of the Term. 

2.     Measurement and Reports.

Supplier will provide Automation Reports to AT&T for agreed upon Order Classes on a **** basis (each such ****, a “Measurement Period”) setting forth (a) calculations of actual performance relative to the SLAs for the relevant preceding ****; and (b) in the event that any SLAs are not achieved in any given ****, a description of the cause or causes believed to have caused such failure to achieve such SLA, and, to the extent such caused by a Defect, any corrective actions taken by Supplier to prevent re-occurrence.
