- Server and network conditions
- System access levels
- Data storage and handling
- Administration responsibilities
Prepare the Work Behind Day-to-Day Operation
Before an independent environment goes into operation, the project should discuss maintenance routines, backup and recovery practices, update handling and the roles of each party
- Maintenance routines
- Backup and recovery approach
- Update and change handling
- Support and escalation roles
Make the Deployment Decision More Practical
Clarify the Environment Before Choosing
Discuss the server, network and access conditions that may affect the proposed deployment approach
Connect Technical Choices to Daily Work
Consider how system administration, data handling and maintenance tasks fit the customer’s operating routine
