1.2 Terms of Use

1.2.1 SEIDOR Cloud is hosted in the South Data Centre;

1.2.2 The SEIDOR Cloud hosting environment is priced per user and is designed and resourced to run SAP Business One and certified SAP B1 applications only. Cloud servers are configured according to SAP's user count server sizing recommendation. In some instances, the actual transaction volumes, lines per transaction and/or complexity of integrations, add-ons and/or automation tasks are unknown until the Customer starts testing or goes live. Should an instance occur whereby additional resources are required and not identified beforehand, the Customer will be contacted to identify the problem to discuss remediation or upgrade requirements, if necessary;

1.2.3 Microsoft SQL Servers are deployed with resources for two databases per customer (live and test). However, each customer has unique data, database sizes, complexity and transaction volumes. Should resource limits be near, or exceeded the server capacity, The Customer will be contacted to discuss a clean-up, remediation options or a possible upgrade for the database server to continue to operate at an acceptable performance level;

1.2.4 The single tenancy presentation or terminal server environment is configured with sufficient resources to run one SAP B1 Client instance per user and two instances per power user with an estimated 10% of users being power users. It is anticipated that each user may also run Coresuite, Boyum Usability Pack, Boyum Print and Delivery and/or other small usability add-ons or integrations. Each integration and add-on has unique requirements per Customer. The Customer will be notified during the blueprinting stage if it is identified that resource limitations may be encountered;

1.2.5 Due to the scalability of the Seidor Cloud environment, the Customer may want to run other line of business or Microsoft Office productivity applications in their Seidor Cloud SAP B1 environment. The Customer may also want to use their remote desktop as a full desktop to fulfil all business functions, which will qualify the Cloud environment to become a custom build. Due to each application consuming resources, Seidor One will assist in designing a suitable environment for the Customer’s specific needs;

1.2.6 Most certified SAP B1 integrations and add-ons are supported in the SEIDOR Cloud environment. However, due to the unknown or unforeseen application workings and/or transaction volumes, requirements may differ per integration, add-on or Customer. Should additional resources be required, the Customer will be notified to discuss their unique needs;

1.2.7 Each Customer deployment is based on the information available during the environment design or deployment stage. Some assumptions are made at this stage due to the lack of information that will become apparent in the Blueprint, user testing and go-live stages. Should changes be identified in these stages, the findings and/or requirements will be presented to the Customer;

1.2.8 Scalability and flexibility are some of the benefits of Cloud adoption, it is therefore beneficial to provision necessary resources only. As businesses grow, so do their data, transaction volumes and system requirements. Due to this growth, upgrades are required from time-to-time to manage the growth and cater for resource limitations. The Customer will be notified should the environment be nearing its capacity;

1.2.9 SEIDOR Cloud has a 98.5% uptime and is measured on Infrastructure only;

1.2.10 SEIDOR One does not guarantee Platform and/or Application uptimes due to the nature of various operating system, software and application behaviours, corruption and bugs. Should a platform or application experience downtime, the Support & Problem Resolution section below applies;
