1. Project 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 Design 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. 

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.

 

2. Project Scope

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

Working Sessions will be facilitated by an Okta Tech Advisor Architect to assist Customer with architecting Identity Access Management (“IAM”) topics. Design sessions focus on architecture best practices.

Example topics for a Design Sessions include: 

  • Tenant Configuration options
  • Multi Factor Authentication considerations 
  • Application Integration for SSO / provisioning patterns 
  • Data source / directory integration design
  • User import advice
  • Workflow design to address a use-case 
  • User registration / reset flow advice

Customer Obligations

To ensure that the Customer receives the greatest value from each working session, Okta requests the following:

  • Build the configuration / code based on advice given during the Design Session.  This includes review, test, stage, and deployment, as appropriate.  
  • Schedule a follow-on Build Session for the topic (if needed).

 Assumptions

  • All working sessions are to be scheduled in two (2) hour blocks.
  • There could be a maximum of two (2) ad hoc email requests / discussions outside a working session. If Okta determines these requests/emails require more than 30-minutes, it will be considered as a working session.
