Appendix A. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.
Platform Limitations
Conga is 100% native to the Platform. The Conga solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,
Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Conga Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Conga callbacks and APIs. Conga will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Conga Managed services are procured. Conga Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Conga code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.
Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions: For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Conga for the purposes of Conga to deliver its product and services. If Conga has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.
Platform Dependencies
As the Conga Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.
Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Conga. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Conga Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.
Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Conga will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.
Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a separate SOW.
The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Conga will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following four (4) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:
Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
QA – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment
While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Conga Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

As of the Effective Date, the known requirements, estimates effort, and scope the following Project Plan (“Project Plan”) is anticipated for Apttus solution delivery. The Project Plan will be confirmed after the design phase. Any adjustments to the Project Plan (e.g. change in process flow, scope changes) may require a new SOW.
Maximum Project Plan Duration
3 weeks of Customer Readiness
12 Weeks to Launch
2 Weeks of Hypercare
Any extension beyond the allocated Project Plan will require a new SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, a day is eight (8) hours, Monday through Friday, on Apttus’ standard business days, excluding holidays.
5.1 Kickoff
Apttus will contact Customer within three (3) weeks of SOW Effective Date to establish a Project start date. The Project start date will be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties (email sufficient).
5.2 Go-Live
“Go-Live” refers to the on-boarding of users to Apttus in the Production environment.
A single go-live event is in scope. Additional go-lives are not in scope and any functionality that is mutually agreed to be deferred from the single go-live is no longer part of the scope of this SOW.
Go-Live occurs after migration of the Apttus solution to the Production environment.
Customer will be responsible for Go-live planning and execution with guidance from Apttus as outlined in this SOW.
Apttus assumes Customer’s information technology policies that govern the deployment of Apttus solution to the Production environment and the go-live of new information technology, will not extend the Project Plan described herein via a delay in the deployment or Go-Live of the Apttus solution.
5.3 Hypercare Period
“Hypercare Period” refers to the period and services following the Go-Live of the Apttus solution.
For a release of the Apttus solution, the Hypercare Period begins at Go-Live and concludes after ten (10) business days, i.e. two (2) weeks.
For clarity, issues identified after the Hypercare Period will be addressed per the terms set forth in Customer’s applicable subscription agreement with Apttus (i.e. Customer’s purchased level of Technical Support in the MSSA and applicable Order or Order Form). Upon completion of the Hypercare Period, Apttus will send Customer a notice (email sufficient) acknowledging SOW Project completion.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.
Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,
Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.
Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions: For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.
Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.
Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.
Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.
Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a separate SOW.
The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following four (4) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:
Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
QA – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment
While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.
