1. Summary

This Statement of Work (“SOW”) is issued under, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Agreement (as that term is defined in the Order Form).

Okta Technical Advisory Build Services “Professional Services'' are based on Okta’s practices for integrating the Okta Service with Customer’s applications in a series of virtual workshop sessions (“Working Sessions”) with the Customer (collectively the “Professional Services”). Okta offers Technical Advisory Sessions for Workforce Identity Cloud (“WIC''), Customer Identity Cloud (“CIC”), and Customer Identity Solution (“CIS”) customers.

 

2. Scope

The following activities shall be within the scope of this SOW:

A Working Session is intended to cover a single topic. The parties must agree to the topic at least one (1) week in advance of the scheduled Working Session, so the Okta technical advisor can prepare for the Working Session. At Okta’s discretion, multiple topics may be covered in a single session. The Customer and Okta will work together to prioritize topics within scheduled Working Sessions.

A Working Session is scheduled in two (2) hour blocks. There could be a maximum of two (2) ad hoc email requests / discussions outside of a Working Session. If Okta determines these requests / emails require more than 30-minutes, it will be considered as a Working Session. The quantity of sessions purchased are specified on the Order Form.

Working Sessions will be facilitated by an Okta technical advisor to assist the Customer with WIC / CIS / CIC Identity Access Management (“IAM”) topics. Customer and Okta will work to identify IAM topics to address during Working Sessions during the initial planning meeting. Build sessions focus on implementation advice, and demonstrating best practices. 

There are no deliverables, or guaranteed outcomes, as part of the Professional Services provided under this SOW.
