Offer Structure
There are two types of service offers available: Primary Services and Add-on Services.
Primary Services are either associated with the deployment of a specific Hardware Platform recently purchased or for a Supplemental Deployment Service on a Hardware Platform. Primary services are identified on the Order Form as either Basic Deployment, ProDeploy, or ProDeploy Plus followed by <Hardware Platform Series> or <Base> followed by <additional identifiers> if necessary. For example, ProDeploy Plus Dell Storage ML Series 6010 5U Library.
Add-on Services are identified on the Order Form as “Add-on.” Add-ons can be combined with any Primary Service within the same Service Tier.

Work will be performed in increments of up to 8 hours per day, unless mutually agreed to in advance with Dell. No activities shall take place during local, state and/or country holidays.
Delivery Methodologies
All Hardware Platform Service Tiers include onsite hardware installation of the physical equipment at Customer location (see Onsite hardware installation section for details of scope).
In the event the Customer location is inaccessible or unreachable, Dell will provide Customer with remote installation assistance. If the Customer elects to do the onsite hardware installation themselves, Customer is responsible for ensuring that all components of the solution are physically installed and interconnected per solution or published documentation. Phone technicians can provide instructions and information to Customers who choose to do the work themselves and/or perform configuration work remotely via web connect or other similar technologies. If web connect assistance is requested, Customer must provide appropriate network access and credentials to Dell to access the solution remotely and perform the work. Services delivered by onsite technicians will be scheduled with Customers to accommodate hardware availability, data center access, customer maintenance windows and technician availability.
For the ProDeploy Plus Service Tier, Dell, at Customer’s discretion, will deliver services by sending field
technicians onsite to do work at Customer locations and/or through phone based technicians who provide remote configuration. Some Add-on Services may be performed solely via phone technicians. The delivery method of ProDeploy and ProDeploy Plus Services will be discussed at the commencement of the project and any requested, proposed, or necessary changes will be addressed at that time.
Change Management
Service deliverables are defined in this Service Description that is reviewed with and signed off by the Customer and Dell. During the planning process, specific details related to the Customer environment are documented. Normally, these suffice to complete the project. In rare instances, changes to the solution integration plan are needed after it has been documented. In that case, the Change Management Process indicated below will govern
7 ProDeploy Plus for Enterprise Service Description | v1.21 | March 30, 2021
changes to the scope of service. Either party may request a permitted change in the Service Description by completing the Change Order Form provided by the Project Manager.
The receiving party will review the proposed Change Order and will (i) approve it, (ii) agree to further investigation, or (iii) reject it. Changes agreed pursuant to the Change Management Process will not be effective until mutually executed by both parties.
