Dear Timothy,
Thank you for providing KSM Consulting, LLC ("KSMC") with the opportunity to propose these services. We are
pleased to have the opportunity to serve the City of Carmel. This agreement outlines the scope of work and
engagement for KSMC to complete a comprehensive IT Assessment for you.
The following agreement was prepared after careful consideration of our discussions with you. Given our
understanding of your unique organization and situation, we've outlined our recommendations for a solution that will
help you achieve your goals.
Objective
The objective of this engagement is to assess and document the current network and server infrastructure in an
effort to build a high level solution design for the primary data center location to be moved. Out of this assessment
will come the knowledge and design required to scope out detailed budget, timeline, and any associated RFP
documents needed by the City of Carmel.
If you have questions about this proposal, please contact Ryan Gould at (317) 452-9762
or rgould@ksmconsuiting.com.
Sincerely,
Charlie Brandt

Comprehensive Technology Assessment
Across the business, KSMC works with clients to assess, align, and optimize their organizations to better achieve
business goals. To this end, KSMC has performed dozens of technology assessments for a wide assortment of
organizations; spanning public and private sectors, small to large organizations and startups, to established
endeavors. Through these engagements, KSMC has helped organizations align their technology to organizational
goals and transform technology into a strategic asset. Further, KSMC's experience has led to an approach that
focuses on several key principles.
First, KSMC believes that a successful technology approach must be assessed within the context of the
organization's mission, vision, and goals that it exists to support. A technology organization that is misaligned on the
business strategy, even one that is high performing, does not fulfill its true potential or maximize the investment
made. Therefore, understanding this alignment is paramount to understanding the overall success of the technology
organization. This understanding begins through interviews and review with business leaders of the overall business
strategy, followed by a deep analysis of the technology strategy and its alignment to the business strategy.
Technology Strategy
IT Operations and Managaerrient
�Infrastructure iirfiiit+l� Tech Support Securit
Second, KSMC has found that the technology itself is only one component of a successful.technology organization.
In order to successfully execute for the business, a technology organization must be assessed against people,
processes, and technology. It is the intersection of these three components that turn a technology group into a high -
performing, strategic asset. Therefore, KSMC's approach targets each of these areas, both separately and together,
to assess the current state and identify any gaps in performance that might be needed.
f
Third, KSMC believes that every organization is unique and that a one -size -fits -all approach to an assessment does
not yield the optimum results. For that reason, KSMC's assessment process and assessment team are flexible and
responsive to the facts, diving into those areas of highest importance and uncovering the unique aspects of your
organization. Further, KSMC believes in a highly transparent and highly collaborative approach to the assessment.
Not only does this help in discovering the unique aspects of your organization, but it also results in much higher buy -
in to the results from the organization.
Lastly, we use an iterative approach to the development of all of our projects including our assessments. ideally we
iterate on a weekly basis bringing together the work we have accomplished, the interviews, documentation,
diagrams, and observations and review them with you. This process ensures we develop the assessment together,
you help us understand and clarify along the way, and we move together throughout the project.
When complete, KSMC's technology assessment will position your organization to understand its current state of
technology. For this particular assessment, KSMC has selected the components outlined in subsequent sections as
of critical importance and within the scope of this engagement. KSMC's goal is to enable your organization to
leverage technology as a strategic asset to achieving your overall goals.

Technical Approach
KSMG believes in a holistic evaluation of people, processes, organizational structure, physical and virtual
infrastructure, and business application solutions when evaluating and formulating solutions to support overall
strategy. Our iterative approach includes an analysis of our findings with management at regular checkpoints to
validate that our understanding and solutions being developed fulfill your short-term and long-term goals as an
organization. To ensure the success of this approach, we will conduct regular weekly update meetings with key
leadership to assess and discuss the analysis, potential issues, and progress. These meetings will foster a
collaborative environment to improve the utility of the engagement deliverables.
Through extensive experience, we've developed the following process for our assessments to work through each of
the technical categories that we've identified as key to identifying the optimal future state for your organization -- and
prioritizing the path to achieve it.

Assessment of Current State
An evaluation of today's business and IT operations is needed in order to fully understand the current state of its
systems, hardware and software resources, security practices, and supporting policies. The goal of this phase is to
comprehensively understand the strategy, services, infrastructure, and applications being provided to the
organization.
Gap Analysis
The gap analysis begins with a comparison of the current state to best practices, industry standards, and
benchmarks to identify focus areas for change and improvement as they apply to your organization. Fully
comprehending disconnects between the current state and the desired future state will help us identify the best path
for bridging these gaps and developing a sound strategic plan.
Recommendations
With full appreciation of the findings in each focus area of our assessment, we will craft recommendations that bring
the business strategy and IT organization in line. Further, we will provide recommendations for improved operational
alignment that will allow you to fully realize an appropriate return on your investment.
Implementation Plan
Managing change can be difficult. Our experience has demonstrated that understanding exactly how to implement
changes for improvement within the organization's broader realities can be the difference between success and
failure. To ensure this engagement is a successful one, we will place draft a plan that incorporates change in a way
that will not only be effective, but more important, sustainable.

Assessment Scope - Business and Technology Strategy
A complete technology assessment must begin with foundational knowledge of the overarching strategy of the
organization it supports. We begin this analysis by first gaining a deep understanding of your organization through
external research, Interviews with key leadership, review of internal documents, and hands-on analysis of the actual
infrastructure. After gaining a holistic view of the goals of your organization, we will seek to understand the
organization's strategy to operate in that market.
At its best, technology is both a strategic and operational asset to an organization. In order to fully leverage the
benefits of technology, while simultaneously maximizing the value delivered, an organization should have a robust
technology strategy that is well-documented, well -communicated, and closely aligned to the overall business
strategy.
It is our belief that the IT function should be subservient to overall business function and should chiefly serve as a
support to the organization in achieving its strategic objectives. IT strategy should set the tone and high-level goals
for the team. Based on this philosophy, we next evaluate the technology strategy using the same methodology.
As an extension of strategy, KSMC will also evaluate the overall cost of the technology under review. The existing
technology budget and actual cost will be assessed and compared against industry standard (and discount) pricing,
as well as benchmarked against similar organizations.

Assessment Scope - IT Infrastructure
Technology infrastructure forms the physical backbone upon which technology services and applications are
delivered. Considered the foundation of your technology, it is critical to an efficient and high -performing technology
approach. The following subpections describe the components of your infrastructure that will be assessed.
Overall System Architecture
KSMC will map the overall system architecture across multiple technology layers, providing a comprehensive view of
the technology infrastructure and the connections between systems,
On -Premise and Cloud -Based Server Infrastructure
KSMC will evaluate the physical servers located on-site (or in co -location facilities), as well as cloud -based servers, t
and assess the systems installed on those servers. This includes an assessment of the overall configuration, ¢
maintenance, and status of the servers. Event logs are also manually reviewed to uncover functionality issues,
system errors, and warnings of errors that could point to system failure.
Network Infrastructure i
KSMC will review the network infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, routers, and other network hardware, as a
well as the configuration of this hardware. This also includes review and documentation of VLANs and their purpose. l
Communications Infrastructure
The communications network is evaluated through detailed reviews of: 1) email configuration, patch levels, limits,
relaying, filtering, spooling, and SPF records; 2) remote access protocols including RDP, VPN, Remote Gateways,
and SSL portals; and 3) WAN/LAN connection speeds, uptime, and costs.
Connectivity
KSMC will review the current technology connectivity approach and quality, both on premise and remote. This
includes reviews of relevant Internet Service Providers, backup connectivity, and connection quality.
I
Mobility }
KSMC will review the systems in place to allow for user mobility. This includes remote access to required systems,
hardware that allows for efficient remote use, and the proper security protocols and policies to ensure secure access.
Domain Configurations
Domain configurations are reviewed for group policies, preferences, and logon script setup.
i
Software Licensing
Software for workstations and servers is reviewed for technology alignment. Business applications should be
fulfilling an organization need or goal. Software packages that do not meet goals fully or accurately can cause
unnecessary complications. The number of licenses purchased is reviewed and compared against user device
counts within the organization to ensure compliance with software vendors. Inventory software is reviewed to ensure
equipment Is accurately being tracked entering and exiting the organization.
MCONSUIXI NG
Equipment Lifecycle and Inventory Documentation
IT staff is interviewed to ascertain if a plan is In place to update existing equipment, and if so, that plan and any
documentation of implementation thus far are reviewed. All hardware has a lifecycle, or an expected time to live.
KSMC determines whether hardware age is being tracked and budgeted for replacement in an accurate and timely
manner. PC's and servers are inspected, inventoried, and compared against current inventory documentation.
Equipment manufacturers, models, specs, and age are analyzed to evaluate functionality, asset management, and
maintenance concerns. Operating systems currently in use are Identified.
System Management and Maintenance
System maintenance and reliability is evaluated by reviewing the status of network documentation and analyzing
indicators of regular server maintenance actions. Devices are inspected for current firmware and patching.
Additionally, alerts, notifications, and DHCP reservations and scope are reviewed.
Backups
KSMC will review the existing backup infrastructure and health, including tape or disk backup, cloud or offsite
replication, workstation data redirection, and battery backup.
Antivirus and Filtering
Antivirus and spam filtering use is identified and reviewed for licensing and configuration best practices.
Security Updates and Patching
KSMC will evaluate your process and compliance for applying security updates and patches on your systems.
