the legacy SI's can't. Being a smaller firm,focused exclusively on Workday,allows Collaborative
to be much more flexible and able to make quick and effective decisions to support our

additional red tape. Collaborative's team and structure is much nimbler, allowing us to be more
responsive, creative, and innovative with how we respond to our customer's needs and ensuring
their success.

partner.' We are constantly striving to ensure our customers not only implement the platform
successfully, but that they achieve their underlying goals.To that end,we offer strategic services
that get to the heart of customer challenges and how to best address them with technology.As
your trusted advisor, Collaborative is proud to offer these services to help customers with
transformational strategy.

Communicating key process changes and training employees effectively are essential to the
successful adoption and ongoing use of any new enterprise application. Enter your partner of
choice, Collaborative Solutions:one of the only partners with an in-house,Workday-focused
Organizational Change&Training practice(including Workday Financials and HCM Certified
Change Management Consultants). We'll be with you every step of the way.
• Proprietary Tools& Methods—As Workday's most tenured implementer,we've been at the
forefront of innovations, methods and tools that can help better jumpstart project tasks and
activities while lowering risks to the deployment.
• Custom Tools for Financials—We have a methodology and tools that we've developed during
our 10+years implementing Workday.These custom accelerators have been built and refined
over the course of 70+financials engagements, utilizing our consultant's average of 3.7 full
financials implementation lifecycles each to assist in optimizations. Data Conversion accelerators
are examples of our tools.We have tools to facilitate and expedite data extraction, data
mapping to the Workday format, and data reconciliation tools. We have a Payroll reconciliation
tool that can process payroll results for 21,000 employees in — 10 minutes. It tracks the results
while allowing for comments, and it retains this information for future payroll runs, which allows
for an audit trail of test results in addition to expediting the process.
• Experienced Team—We have 450+Workday-certified consultants holding 1,500+certifications
with 30%more Workday experience than the ecosystem average.

Project Scope and Approach
Project Approach
Collaborative Solutions employs a structured approach that enhances the Workday core methodology,
in which we conduct up-front project planning, manage a well-defined scope, identify, and mitigate
risks, and track and resolve issues. Our comprehensive list of deliverables along with a robust
communication plan guides our efforts in all our designing,testing, building, and rollout activities while
maintaining a nimble structure to deploy the Workday platform quickly.Seasoned project leadership
with experience in the management and delivery of HCM, Payroll and Financials solutions drives the
end-to-end execution of the project.We have obtained a tremendous amount of knowledge and
experience during our 16+years as Workday Services Partner and look to bring all our skills and
expertise to this partnership with Kent City.
Implementation Methodology
Collaborative developed our proprietary CynergyT' methodology
using the knowledge and insight gained over 11 years of Workday --,'
deployments and more than 15 years as an HR and Financial ynerov-
C
consultancy to large enterprise firms. CynergyTM was designed for
efficient and effective implementation and represents the best WORKDAY MPLOYMf Nf AND BEYOND
thinking from our expert consultants. Our goal with CynergyTM is to
streamline the way we deploy Workday, enabling us to deliver leading solutions across every
engagement with rapid progress.
CynergyTM fully adheres to Workday requirements but goes several steps beyond. Using the Workday
deployment methodology(That Collaborative helped develop with Workday) as a baseline for the
standardized set of activities, we layered in our own set of best practices, deliverables,tools, and
templates and embedded a subset of Change Management activities for each functional area to include
in Workday engagements across each deployment stage.Within each stage,you will also see core
implementation tasks and deliverables.
The Workday methodology consists of five stages: Plan,Architect, Configure& Prototype,Test,and
Deploy. During the Architect and Configure & Prototype stages, our project team will also conduct
Integration Design and Integration Development(in the same tenant), returning to a single work-stream
at the beginning of the Test stage.
Please refer Appendix A—CynergyTM Methodology for a complete description of our phases and
deliverables for each.

Data Conversion
Collaborative will use its proprietary process to support the City's data conversion for the duration of
the engagement. Workers that are active at time of Go-Live conversion extract will be included in the
conversion process and have data loaded into the Workday transactional data objects.The City's
workers who were terminated in the current and prior calendar year will be included in the data
conversion to Workday to support rehires and reporting.
Integrations
The integrations listed below represent the initial understanding of the City's integrations that require
review and updating. We have allocated the majority of this effort to Collaborative, in accordance to the

exchange of sensitive Customer employee data with the Collaborative project team.
The City will be responsible for the maintenance and changes to the Design documents after the
Design signoff.
The City will be responsible for any necessary translations or adaptations of change
management, communications, or training materials and deliverables. If and where in-scope,
Collaborative's change management&training deliverables will be produced and delivered in
standard U.S. English only.
Signoff at the completion of each stage.
As the City plans to perform all Payroll functionality in house,taxes will be done via reporting
and loaded by the City directly to the IRS and State, unless a third party vendor is chosen and
integrations are added. We typically partner with ADP for this functionality and have a standard
integration to them we've used at hundreds of organizations.
Collaborative assumes the City has spoken to Workday about Retirees and Pensions as Workday
does not support the 1099R or the W413 form.
• Until such a point as the City chooses the path for Learning(outside vendor for housing content
or internal loading), no integrations to third party vendors for Learning have been included.
Timelines
The below timeline is proposed for both Option A and Option B with the assumption that the City would
like to start in January and go live by the end of Q2 2020, in time for Open Enrollment. Should those
needs change, or any new information is brought to light during the SOW process, a new timeline can be
agreed upon between Collaborative and the City.

Project Team Structure
Collaborative Solutions believes in a two in a box approach for a project team structure to ensure direct
communication, more effective knowledge transfer, and faster decision making during the project.The
effectiveness of this model is directly related to our 98%customer satisfaction rating and 100%
deployment success. Collaborative proposes a project team structure that pairs Collaborative and the
City resources as depicted in the graphic below. In addition to our services, Workday will provide
Delivery Assurance throughout the project. Below is an example of the proposed team structure based
on Option A, and if the City chooses to go with Option B would be similar, simply with the additional
modules/roles removed:

WORKDAY DEPLOYMENT AND RFYOND
Collaborative developed our proprietary CynergyT"° methodology using the knowledge and insight gained
over 11 years of Workday deployments and 15 years as a Financial and HR consultancy to large
enterprise firms. CynergyTM was designed for efficient and effective implementation and represents the
best thinking from our expert consultants. Our goal with CynergyT"' is to streamline the way we deploy
Workday, enabling us to deliver top-notch solutions across every engagement with rapid progress.

Collaborative CynergyT"' Deployment Methodology
CynergyT°"fully adheres to Workday requirements but goes several steps beyond. Using the Workday
deployment methodology as a baseline for the standardized set of activities,we layered in our own set
of best practices,deliverables, tools, and templates and embedded a subset of change management
activities for each functional area to include in Workday engagements across each deployment stage.
Within each stage,you will also see core implementation tasks and deliverables.
The Workday methodology consists of five stages: Plan, Architect, Configure & Prototype,Test, and
Deploy.The following table provides an overview of the tasks incorporated in the CynergyTm and
Workday Methodology for a Phase 1 deployment. (Some details may vary based on the specifics of an
agreed upon contract as well as for some Phase 2+deployments.):

The following sections describe high-level activities and unique deliverables associated with each stage
for all projects. Ownership of each activity or deliverable may vary from project to project depending on
the agreed-upon scope of work.The specific content of the deliverables and duration to complete these
deliverables are discussed in the Project Charter and Project Schedule,which are developed jointly by
the Collaborative Engagement Manager(EM) and the Customer Project Manager(PM).
Plan Stage
At project initiation,the Collaborative EM works with the Customer PM to collect and finalize
information via discovery templates and document the project's objectives, measures, staffing,
organization, and scope in the Project Charter.The team uses the Charter as a reference throughout the
project, providing the basis for change control.The Charter also identifies Customer Subject Matter
Experts(SME)for the Workday functionality included in scope.This group, called the "Business SMEs"
will be the primary user group for the project and will be empowered to make application configuration
decisions for Customer. SMEs will also be identified for Data Conversion and Integration support. In
parallel, the team develops the Project Plan to reflect the tasks, staffing, and timeline for the project.
The Collaborative EM also introduces the Customer to a sample Test Strategy/Planning Template for
completion in the next stage.
Specific actions in the Plan Stage include the following:
Workday Delivery Assurance reviews the Charter and Project Plan and signs off on scope and
approach

Architect Stage
During the Architect Stage of a Workday deployment,the Customer and Collaborative team obtains a
common understanding of Customer's business needs and analyzes how to deploy Workday best to
meet those needs.This stage is organized into two components: discovery (gathering information on
current business practices and integration needs)and analysis(documenting functional,technical,and
Collaborative Solutions,LLC. Proprietary&Confidential 32

business requirements, identifying gaps, and analyzing how Workday will be configured and deployed to
meet business requirements).
Architect Workshops
At the start of the Architect stage,the Collaborative EM kicks off the Architect Workshops with
leadership and SMEs from both Collaborative and Customer.The Collaborative consultants will lead on-
site functional and integrations Architect Workshops with Customer conducting a walk-through of the
Workday configuration options via a Foundation prototype tenant built using provided customer data
collected in the Plan stage. During Architect Workshops,the team examines each functional
configuration area (including each of the associated in-scope business processes in the Workday
application)to collect Customer preferences,expectations, and requirements and to document where
system needs are incomplete and may require an additional solution. Moreover,the Architect
Integrations Workshops include an overview of Workday integrations,options, methodology, and a
high-level overview of each integration in scope. Customer OC&T resources are encouraged to attend a
subset of the functional Architect Workshops to begin capturing configuration decisions,change
impacts, and training needs.Additionally,Collaborative's OC&T team may conduct a dedicated OC&T
Architect Workshop to help you synthesize your initial change impacts and begin crafting an overall
organizational change strategy and program.
Within weeks of the Architect Workshops,the Collaborative team presents the initial functional
configuration set up, processes, and security requirements.This Collaborative deliverable is critical and
requires timely Customer review and approval so that we may commence building the first complete
tenant.After the Architect Workshops, Customer collects and submits all configuration and worker data
using the provided templates for conversion,at which point the Collaborative consultants load the data
to the Configuration Tenant build.
Integration development occurs concurrently with the Architect and Configure &Prototype stages.
Collaborative integration consultants work with the Customer SMEs as a primary point of contact.The
Customer SMEs interact directly with third party vendors to gather interface data requirements,
schedule and coordinate integration testing, and manage any vendor issues. Collaborative integration
consultants create a design document for each integration in scope and then conducts a detailed review
session with Customer. After the initial integration design, Collaborative and customer integration
resources participate in the Workday Delivery Assurance Approach Review.The customer will then sign
off on the integration design document and approves the integration as ready for the Configure&
Prototype stage.

Configure & Prototype Stage
During the Configure & Prototype stage of a deployment,we complete the configuration of the
Workday application based on the business process and functional/integrations design specifications. In
this stage, Collaborative consultants complete all application configurations in Workday, execute full
data conversions for both setup and worker-level information, and design and complete integration
configurations(including detailed End-to-End testing). Collaborative provides internal Quality Assurance
oversight during this and other critical points in the project. Once configuration and unit testing are
completed, we review the prototype tenant solution with Customer. Collaborative experts provide
custom validation reports during the data loading process for the Configuration tenant and co-lead
Customer Confirmation Sessions with the Customer SMEs.The goal is to have Customer become
knowledgeable in its Workday configuration set up,validate the tenant data, and jointly document any
changes required based on Customer feedback—all in preparation for subsequent tenants to be
developed in the upcoming Testing and Deploy(final tenant) stage. More is discussed in the following
Customer Confirmation Session section. Collaborative also manages custom report design and support,
to the extent listed in the Statement of Work, in this stage.
The Collaborative team will build and unit test all integrations according to the approved design
document in the configuration tenant.We will test inbound interfaces,which modify data, in the
Customer's tenant, and will fully configure them in the configuration tenant.The Collaborative
Integrations Lead will manage the Workday Delivery Assurance review of all design. Customer is
responsible for obtaining SFTP site set-up for each vendor solution.This is required for Workday
approvals of each test level for integrations. If delays in setting up the SFTP sites beyond the Architect
stage occur, it may not be possible to enter End-to-End Testing on time,as it is a Collaborative
requirement to have final SFTP sites in place.
Concurrently,the Organizational Change&Training workstream finalizes the organizational change
strategy and subsequent communications and change champion plans,all of which are validated with
the broader project team during the OC&T Customer Confirmation session.After functional
configurations are reviewed during Customer Confirmation sessions,the OC&T workstream begins
Collaborative Solutions,LLC. Proprietary&Confidential 34

Proposal for HR and Finance Transformation lb SOLUTIONS

assembling a consolidated training needs assessment and curriculum plan.Change champion events and
targeted communications also begin or continue during this stage, and the initial templates for and
development of training materials may begin.
Customer Confirmation Sessions
The intent of the Customer Confirmation Sessions is to review each functional configuration area,
including Customer data validation and each of the associated business processes in the Workday
application,to ensure that they are configured per Customer requirements and operate to Customer's
satisfaction. For any business process that is incomplete or incorrect,we record the item in the issue log
for tracking and resolution.The functional configuration set up, processes, and security can be
documented by running reports in the tenant.The review of the configuration includes functional
reviews as well as in the context of a related business process and is a critical component of this stage in
reviewing the Prototype.
During the demonstration,the group identifies any changes,enhancements, or gaps in the Configuration
tenant. Changes typically require regression testing and therefore should not made "on the fly" during
sessions.Agreed upon changes will be made and tested as soon as practical after the Confirmation
sessions.This means some changes may be demonstrated near the end of the planned sessions while
others may be reviewed in subsequent workstream meetings. Some changes may not be possible in the
current tenant and must be documented for modification in the End-to-End Test Tenant instead.
Requested changes which represent a change in scope or newly discovered requirements will be
documented and evaluated for priority and impact before proceeding with associated efforts.
The Collaborative consultants then prepare any updated Configuration documentation that will highlight
all the changes requested by the customer for the End-to-End Tenant.This document directs all changes
to be made by the implementation team for the next iteration for Test.These documents also call out
processes and functional requirements not satisfied by the Workday system, if any.
Finally,the Collaborative consultants organize a Configure and Prototype Stage Signoff meeting where
Customer reviews the updated Configuration documentation and formally signs off on the document as
the basis for the End-to-End Tenant build requirements.After this final sign off, Customer will become
responsible for documenting any further design changes in the configuration documentation.
Test Preparation
In Configure & Prototype stage,Collaborative's consultants provide a list of sample test scenarios and
supply them along with converted Customer data, business processes, and security roles for Customer's
consideration in its development of the final test scenarios for the Test stage.Customer also finalizes an
overall test strategy/plan outlining test approach, roles and responsibilities,test tools, and confirms
success criteria for each of the test stages(End-to-End, User Acceptance, Parallel.)The Collaborative EM
leverages the sample test plan materials provided in the Plan stage and supports Customer's Test Lead
in any final refinements to the Test Strategy and detailed test plan during this stage.
Once Customer completes updates to the test strategy and further documents test scenarios in the
Configure and Prototype stage,the Collaborative EM,Customer PM, Customer SME team, and
Collaborative consultants conduct a final test scenario review meeting.The Customer Test Lead assigns
each test scenario to one or more SMEs in advance of the Test stage to verify that the test executed
successfully.

In addition, prior to opening the End-to-End Test Tenant for the Customer Test stage, Collaborative
conducts a configuration and conversion data review with Workday Delivery Assurance to ensure that
Workday features and functions are being used in alignment with Workday's guidelines.The Workday
Delivery Assurance representative and the Collaborative team conduct a final review meeting with
Customer to share any recommendations made by Workday prior to the start of Test stage.
Knowledge Transfer
Collaborative believes the best knowledge transfer happens organically by Customer SME's working
alongside Collaborative resources throughout the course of a project. Knowledge transfer is not a
substitute for training and happens in both formal and informal sessions,workstream meetings, one-off
conversations,troubleshooting assistance, and many other interactions. Because of its embedded
nature, we find it useful to document a schedule/record of knowledge transfer activities between the
project team so that it is clear that all necessary knowledge transfer has happened during the project
lifecycle.The functional team members will periodically review this document starting during the
Configure& Prototype stage to keep an accurate running record of knowledge transfer topics covered.
Final sign-off of the document is criteria for the authorization to move to production.

Test Stage
During the Test Stage,the team ensures the configured Workday system sufficiently meets the needs of
the business.The Test Stage consists of three distinct threads of work:
• End-to-End Test (includes integrations)
• User Acceptance Test
• Parallel Test(if Payroll or Payroll Interface are in scope)
End-to-End Testing
Customer conducts a complete test of the configured End-to-End Tenant functionality and integrations,
executing each of the test scenarios while Collaborative consultants provide oversight and support.
Collaborative will research any issues, reviewing and documenting any resulting configuration changes
with Customer before completing them.The test scenarios will be re-executed by Customer until the
designated SME Champions sign off that the test scenario was completed to their satisfaction.The test
scenarios should include review and confirmation of interfaces output.The following items are tested:
functional configurations, business processes, core integrations, reports,worklets, security
configurations,test messages, notifications,to-dos, and event maintenance.
Sign off on End-to-End Testing is an entrance criterion for Parallel Testing.
End-to-End Testing Responsibilities & Deliverables

User Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is designed to certify the Workday application.The UAT stage also helps
to ensure that Customer SMEs are confident in their ability to perform their daily tasks using Workday
by allowing select business process owners(outside of the core Customer team)to provide final
validation that the configured system is ready for Production. During UAT, each scenario is assigned to
one or more SMEs to act as business process owners and verify that the test executed successfully.

NOTE: The test list is a subset of End-to-End Test scenarios which represent high amounts of end-user
system interaction.The SME business process owners will also conduct any ad-hoc testing they
choose to ensure the system operates as defined and expected. Issues found will be triaged and
resolved in the system by the Customer SME as part of knowledge transfer. Collaborative
consultants provide minimal support for UAT testing and typically are the 2nd level support.
Support level is defined in the Statement of Work.
The Customer SME will document and research any issues with support from the Collaborative
consultants,and any resulting configuration changes will be completed by the Customer SME as part of
their knowledge transfer.The test scenarios will be re-executed until the designated SME Leads sign off
that the test scenarios were completed to their satisfaction.The following items are tested: business
processes, roles and routings, messages,to-dos, reports,worklets, executive dashboards and analytics,
and go-live security provisioning(SSO, LDAP).The table below lists User Acceptance Testing deliverables.
NOTE: Integrations are not a part of UAT testing as these have been signed off in End-to-End.
As a subset of UAT, Customer may also choose to engage the Organizational Change &Training team to
conduct User Experience Testing(UET).A UET cycle is deployed to give true end-users,traditionally
employees and managers,the opportunity to explore the new system,express initial reactions, and
provide feedback. During UET,testers do not have the ability to"not accept"the system, but they can
provide inputs that may influence training materials, communications messaging, or in-system guidance
like help text and notification language.The goal of UET is to pilot the system with a group of users who
have had no prior exposure to gain an additional,candid perspective on how the new system will be
received. Feedback from UET helps ensure that end-users will be confident in their ability to perform
their necessary tasks at go-live.
In the Test stage,the Collaborative EM will also provide Customer a sample Cutover Deployment Plan
for Customer's use in creating their overall deployment plan.The Collaborative team will provide inputs
to the plan and during Deploy to keep the Customer PM up to date on status and completion of the
Collaborative activities.

Parallel Testing
Payroll or Payroll Interface testing is the validation of same period processing compared against
Customer's legacy system. In a newly configured Parallel Tenant Build, Customer enters validation data
synchronization activities("catch up transactions") such as compensation and worker data changes
(including new hires and current terminations)to reflect and validate payroll results and/or other third-
party integration results in a predefined period. Often,these tests require third party environments.
Integrations that impact core Payroll (ex:Workday hire/compensation change to Payroll interface or
benefits integrations flow to Payroll provider) are tested, as well as YTD tax and tax integrations. Based
on the training strategy,training deployment begins at this stage.The table below lists Parallel Testing
Deliverables.

Deploy Stage
This stage includes the steps necessary to move the Workday solution into production with the features,
functionality, and integrations in scope.
Once Testing is complete,the Collaborative team prepares the Gold/Pre-Production Tenant Build.
Collaborative and Customer execute a final run of the data conversion from Customer production data,
while the Collaborative team loads data and integrations into the Gold tenant and confirms that all audit
reports reconcile correctly.Additionally,the Integrations Lead verifies a run start date for all first run
integrations and their recurrences based on Customer specific cutover schedule input.The Customer
SMEs and Customer PM will certify the final load as ready for production. Based on scope, specific areas
may have an additional Workday Delivery Assurance review conducted in a copy of the Gold tenant at
this point.
The OC&T team is also active during this time,following their pre-established plans and preparing for
various communications,training, and champion activities oriented around go-live. A Sustainability
Strategy workshop may be conducted shortly before or after go-live to help determine how the change
effort will continue after the initial deployment has been completed.
The Collaborative EM provides Customer with the Workday Go-Live Checklist.The Collaborative team
reviews the Workday Go-Live Authorization with Customer PM and Customer SMEs.Workday requires a
signed Go-Live Authorization from Customer PM and Collaborative EM to make the move from
Gold/Pre-Production Tenant Build into the Workday production environment.The Collaborative EM will
direct Workday to move the Gold tenant to Production status with the signed Go-Live Checklist from
Test Stage and the Go-Live Authorization document from Deploy Stage.
The Collaborative EM also schedules an introduction of Customer team to the Workday Customer
Success Group within two weeks after the go-live date as part of the transition to production. Once the
Workday system is live and in production,the Workday Customer Support Group will be the primary
contact for the production functionality.
Customer is responsible for executing on its Workday Cutover Deployment Plan.The Collaborative team
will provide updates on status for the Collaborative-owned deliverables in the overall Cutover
Deployment Plan.The Collaborative EM will work with Customer PM to ensure cutover execution
meetings are regularly scheduled to ensure timely status updates.
Finally,to announce the Go-Live,the Collaborative EM will work Customer PM to prepare and finalize
the official Go-Live Announcement for internal distribution within Collaborative and Workday.
