Business Process Automation Using Built-in Microsoft 365 Tools and Services is managed by Roman Sotnik. During the engagement, the client is expected to designate a dedicated point of contact to collaborate with IT Partner and keep decisions, access, and approvals moving.

The engagement typically starts with a kickoff meeting, followed by preparation of the statement of work and development plan. IT Partner then controls the development process, performs implementation and testing, verifies and fixes any issues, and completes project closure and acceptance.

You must have an appropriate Microsoft 365 subscription or be prepared to purchase one. Because the service uses Microsoft 365 tools and services, IT Partner should confirm during scoping whether your current subscription supports the specific automation scenarios you want to implement.

The client also manages external vendor resources and timelines, promptly reviews and approves deliverables, and oversees or approves change management tickets if applicable in the client environment.

The service description does not specify expected downtime or business disruption. Because the work involves automation implementation and testing inside the client environment, any business impact should be reviewed during the kickoff and statement of work planning before changes are made.

The source scope states that the client must have an appropriate Microsoft 365 subscription or be prepared to purchase one, but it does not state that subscription licensing is included in the $500 service price.

Licensing, third-party costs, custom development beyond the stated deliverables, and other items outside the agreed scope are not included unless explicitly added to the statement of work. 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, production support, managed services, SLA-backed monitoring, and ongoing maintenance after project closure are not included by default, but are available as optional extra-cost add-ons delivered through IT Partner's NOC, third-party support partnerships, and a Microsoft Premier Support agreement.

Success is measured by completion of the stated automation outcomes, including SharePoint approval workflows with notifications, time and location tracking to Excel, real-time sales lead notifications, social media alerting, streamlined user creation and approval, implementation and testing, issue fixes if required, and project closure and acceptance. These criteria should be validated against the agreed statement of work because the plan may vary depending on your needs.
