1.1 Advisories
· The local PC will be removed from the local domain and joined to NTT Data’s domain.
· If client wishes to not provide local admin credentials to NTT Data, they must provide a local resource that NTT Data can work with to setup the fat client. This user will need to sit through the installation process with NTT Data to assist in getting NTT Data reconnected after numerous reboots that will take place during the setup process.
· Setup duration period is directly dependent on the clients’ bandwidth at the local site where the PC resides. (Setup time ranges from 3-6 hours, but may run longer)
· NTT Data will open the proper ports on the firewall for the fat client to communicate with the database.
· NTT Data will install the NextGen application on the fat client
· Upon completion of the fat client setup by NTT Data, NextGen Support will need to be notified.
· NextGen Support will setup the ICS Scanning system on the fat client.

*NOTE: This Production Hours Release form can only be accepted in conjunction with a Change Request form detailing the requested change. This form is not to request a change; this PHR form is to authorize a Change Request during production hours ONLY.
NTT Data PHYSICIAN SERVICES will never suggest that you make changes to your servers, software, routers, or other equipment during production hours (that is, business hours, while users are working). We always recommend performing any changes during off-hours. No amount of careful planning and execution can eliminate the chance that a change, no matter how insignificant, could render the equipment unusable for some period of time. There may be an occasion, however, when you feel that the change must be made during production hours. In order to schedule a change request during production hours, the Authorized Requester must sign this PRODUCTION HOURS RELEASE acknowledging that NTT Data PHYSICIAN SERVICES has warned you of the danger of making changes during production hours, and you have on your own, without any promises, guarantees, or suggestion from the department, made the decision to require the department to make the change detailed in the accompanying change request during production hours. Further, you agree and promise to indemnify NTT Data PHYSICIAN SERVICES and hold it harmless and waive any and all rights to recovery under any contract or service level agreement for any outage, delay, or difficulty resulting from affecting this change request during production hours, and release NTT Data PHYSICIAN SERVICES from any and all liability and responsibility for any problem arising from said outage, delay, or difficulty.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT PENALTIES ARE NULL AND VOID IF THEY ARISE FROM MAKING THIS CHANGE DURING PRODUCTION HOURS.
