• Cloud deployment model:
  • Public cloud
  • Private cloud
  • Hybrid cloud
• Service constraints: The service is subject to the constraints of the underlying development, cloud, and CI/CD platforms selected. These include tooling capabilities, integration support, configuration limits, and vendor release cycles. Functionality is delivered within supported pipeline, security, and infrastructure features. Customisation is configuration-led and does not extend to modification of core platform software or managed cloud services. Performance, scalability, and availability are influenced by the chosen cloud architecture and deployment model. Security, compliance, and operational controls follow a shared responsibility model between the platform providers and Sandhata.

• End-of-contract data extraction: At contract end, users can extract their data using the export and reporting capabilities provided by the underlying automation or low-code platform. Platforms provide standard tools, APIs, and notifications to support end-of-contract data extraction in commonly used formats. Sandhata supports clients during offboarding by coordinating data export activities, confirming data scope, and providing guidance on available platform capabilities where required. Responsibility for executing and validating data extraction rests with the customer, in line with their data ownership and governance policies. Following confirmation of data extraction, Sandhata will support orderly service termination in accordance with contractual and platform vendor processes.
• End-of-contract process: At the end of the contract, the service enters a controlled offboarding phase. This includes confirmation of contract closure, support for data extraction using platform-provided tools, removal of user access, and service termination in line with agreed security and governance requirements. Knowledge transfer and handover activities are included where contractually agreed.; ; Standard offboarding activities, such as coordination, access removal, and service closure, are included in the contract price. Additional services, including extended support periods, bespoke data migration, custom reporting, or platform-specific exit activities beyond standard processes, may incur additional costs.

Customisation is primarily configuration-led rather than bespoke code, enabling controlled change without impacting core platform services. Users cannot modify underlying platform software, managed cloud infrastructure, or vendor controlled components. Sandhata supports and governs all customisation to ensure alignment with agreed delivery standards, security policies, and operational requirements.

Scaling

• Independence of resources: User workloads are isolated through the underlying cloud, container, and CI/CD platform architectures. Platforms provide segregated environments, namespaces, and resource controls to ensure workloads from one team, pipeline, or application do not adversely impact others. Capacity management, scaling, and performance controls are delivered by the cloud and platform infrastructure. Sandhata designs solutions using agreed environments, usage patterns, and governance controls to manage contention and ensure predictable performance. Where required, workload separation, quotas, and capacity thresholds are agreed with the customer during service design and onboarding.
