Bxp - Deployment Planning
Contents
1 Overview
The roll out of bxp software (bxp) is exceptionally easy. Being a pure Software As A Service (SaaS) there is nothing to install on devices effectively making roll out a job of seconds. It is prudent however to consider some steps to set up the service to ensure that roll out of the solution is as effective as possible.
2 NDA
An NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement is the first and primary step of any relationship with All n One. This mutual confidentiality agreement ensures that All n One can safely and confidently offer advice and processing suggestions without any fear of Data Protection compromisation.
3 Contract
This key document sets out the detail of the provision of the service and relevant costs.
4 Security
It is always prudent to involve the Security, Legal, Data Protection and Risk departments at a very early stage in the relationship. The primary documents or starting points for discussion will begin with:
- Security :
- Legal :
- Data Protection :
From this the standard required security protocols can be established. i.e. how frequently with the client test the security of bxp, etc.
5 IT
The IT (Information Technology) department may have a number of technical questions but the key considerations will be:
- What browser and version is going to be the primary browser used?
- For the different 3rd party content types what software is available on the machines? (Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF documents)
- What IP addresses will need to be whitelisted in order to allow users access?
- What DNS entry changes will need to be made if bxp is to be sending emails on behalf of the client?
6 Operations
Operations who will be using the tool need to have some training made available and the support processes explained. The sequence for this will be:
- Appoint a System Champion or Champions
- Understand the support mechanisms available
- Understand / Clarify the levels of support required
- Construct within bxp the organogram and get the user access templates created
- Collaberatively construct the first operational campaign
- Complete any security / IT system integrations required
