Service Description: Nuvolo Space and Move Management Setup Service

SKU Numbers: NUV-SERV-SPMV and NUV-SERV-SPMV-EM

Overview

Nuvolo’s Space and Move Management Setup package provides a best-practice approach to the out-of-the-box setup of Nuvolo. The fixed-scope engagement follows a pre-defined setup strategy to streamline the configuration process and focuses on a rapid time-to-value deployment.

Pre-Requisites

  • ServiceNow instance
  • Drawings prepared following Nuvolo drawing standards.

Implementation Kickoff

The purpose of a kickoff meeting is for the teams to meet and review the implementation process. On or around the time of the kickoff meeting –

Nuvolo will:

  • Provide data templates to Customer for data collection and load.
  • Provide a list of appropriate self-paced learning content.
  • Review project plan with task dates and dependencies.
  • Review standard product configuration included in this Service Description.

Customer will provide:

  • Appropriate and knowledgeable staff to complete self-paced learning prior to kick-off and participate in the implementation.
  • One or more Nuvolo application administrator for each Nuvolo application as appropriate.
  • Customers network access process.
  • Customer deliverables as identified for the implementation as scheduled.
  • Sub production instance URLs.
  • Admin access to the ServiceNow sub-production instance(s) first week of implementation for Nuvolo implementation team.

Access Enablement

Access to Nuvolo applications and modules is controlled by defined roles included with each base application. Roles are assigned to groups and members of a group inherit the roles assigned to the group. Note that access to individual records and fields may be controlled by defined roles or informal roles based on the specific fields in the record.

Nuvolo will:

  • Review the Customer’s process in which it will create groups and assign group members to the production instance.
  • Provide standard roles for access to the application(s).

Organizational/Space Hierarchy

Nuvolo will:

  • Schedule a session to Review the Organizational/Space Hierarchy with the Customer.

Data collection and load

Data collection and load involves three (3) types of data as follows:

  • Transactional data: for example, work orders and related work order costs​.
  • Referential data: for example, assets, asset types, manufacturer, model, and location.
  • Metadata: for example, location types, work order types, resolution codes, etc.

For each data set to be imported, Nuvolo and the Customer have the following responsibilities:

  • Nuvolo will review and explain the usage of the data within the Nuvolo application.
  • Nuvolo will provide the Standard Spreadsheet Data Templates to collect Customer data.
  • Customer will collect data from legacy system(s), if applicable, or create the data manually based on business needs.
  • Customer will analyze data collected for quality and ease of loading and provide any data cleansing or data sorting required.
  • Customer will consolidate the data (combine data into a single, central repository), if applicable.
  • Customer will normalize (eliminate redundancies in) the data.
  • Customer will refine (correct anomalies in) the data.
  • Customer will map the tables and fields from the single, central repository into Nuvolo Standard Spreadsheet Data Templates with guidance from Nuvolo.
  • Nuvolo will import data using the completed Standard Spreadsheet Data Template with the standard transform maps and process.
  • Nuvolo will perform up to 3 diagnostic cycles to map the source data (up to 1000 records per table) to the Nuvolo target tables in the development instance.
  • Customer will import source data to the Nuvolo target tables in the test instance.
  • Customer will import all applicable source data to the Nuvolo target tables in the production instance.
  • Customer will perform validation cycles as needed on the imported data.

    • Files must be in DWG or DXF format.
    • All locations/spaces that need to be extracted must be enclosed inside a closed LWPolyline and must be on a single layer.
    • Polylines should not overlap to avoid skewing area calculations.
    • All other LWPolylines which are not spaces (Boundary Polylines) should be on a different layer.
    • Location names and location codes should be added as either MText or Text and must be contained inside the LWPolyline of the location. The name and code should all be on one (1) layer. Location code must be unique per file (drawing).
    • Only space related text will be brought over; the rest will be ignored (e.g., labels for furniture).
    • Supported section: ENTITIES, BLOCKS, TABLES, HEADERS.
    • Visual Base Layer objects supported: LWPLOYLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, LINE, POLYLINE, VERTEX, SOLID, ELLIPSE, SPLINE.

Change Requests

If there is a change in scope, assumptions, capability discovered during the implementation kickoff then Nuvolo will require a Change Request. Any Change Request signed by both parties shall be effective as of the date set forth therein (each, a “Change Order”).  Instances in which a Change Order shall be required include: (1) Customer’s requests for out-of-scope Services; (2) discovery of new information that requires an increase in the scope of Services; or (3) Customer’s failure to fulfill any of its responsibilities if such failure delays the Services or requires Nuvolo to incur additional time or costs in performing Services.

If the parties do not agree on a Change Order, the Engagement shall proceed as originally set forth. If, however, the existing Engagement or any specific Services cannot proceed without an executed Change Order, Nuvolo may suspend Services until the Change Order is executed.

Scheduled Timeline

The duration for the setup of the services outlined in this document is up to thirteen (13) weeks.

 

Delivery Terms

The duration of this deployment is up to thirteen (13) weeks. Any additional effort required related to complexity, scope or project duration will be subject to the change request process.

Any activities or tasks not specifically outlined in this Service Description are out of scope.

Nuvolo Access Requirements

Customer will provide access requirements and policies required of Nuvolo resources along with onboarding timelines prior to execution of this SOW. Customer acknowledges that all obligations of Nuvolo under this SOW will require Nuvolo (including any subcontractors) to have direct access to Customer’s ServiceNow sub- production instance(s). Administrative access will be required in the sub-production instance(s) only and at no time will Nuvolo have access to the production environment.

Services shall be preconditioned upon Nuvolo receiving such access and proportionately limited to the extent access is denied. Failure to provide timely access may result in timeline delays and costs increase as outlined in this SOW. Additionally, Customer acknowledges that Nuvolo will leverage a mix of onshore and offshore resources in support of the Engagement.
