Enablement services are designed to ensure the successful and efficient execution of the services under the BULK. Accordingly, enablement services do not consume any ETUS but are included in the ETU price.

The following services, processes, tools, and management oversight are provided, at CONSULTANTs discretion, under the enablement services:

  • Change Management: Focuses on ensuring that changes are being assessed for risks, and planned, scheduled, reviewed, and executed effectively.

  • Project Management tools: Tools, software, software licenses, and access to online tools, programs, or services used by CONSULTANT’s project management resources to communicate, coordinate, or provide access to information to ensure that CONSULTANT is meeting the objectives of COMPANY during project engagements.
