Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
We help users start with a structured onboarding journey (typically 6–8 weeks) led by a consultant, combining guided setup, training, and documentation. First, we run a preparation phase to understand success criteria and agree a partnership-led approach. Next, we set up the service and connect it to your production Workday tenant. We then scope the implementation by aligning Smart Audit to your view of risk using a Workday-specific RACM. After that, we deliver full training for admins and end users (supported by online training and user documentation). We follow with an assisted review to validate configuration, embed the service into your processes, and ensure teams are confident using checks and outputs. Finally, we transition you into steady state with ongoing product support.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Unplanned outage:
Uptime SLA 99.5%*
* based on 7 days’ x 24 hours per calendar month (exclusive of planned outage) this equates to 3 hours, 36 minutes per calendar month or 1 day, 19 hours and 48 minutes per year of unplanned outage.

Planned outage:
10 hours per month scheduled downtime (on 24 hours’ notice, to Customer, via email, of planned outages).
Updates will be aligned where possible with the Workday planned outage schedule.

Disaster Recovery:
Kainos targets a recovery time objective (the timeframe within which Kainos aims to have the Subscription Services restored) (an “RTO”) of 12 hours following an agreed Category A (Critical) incident occurring, measured from the time the Subscription Services becomes unavailable until it is available again. Kainos targets a recovery point objective (the maximum amount of transactional data that could be lost) (an “RPO”) of 24 hours. The RTO and RPO are target times only.

Due to the low price point of the product Kainos do not offer service credits or refunds.
Approach to resilience
Kainos Smart leverages Amazon Web Services Auto Scaling Groups for all its servers. Auto Scaling Groups are configured to use three independent Availability Zones in each region. Each of the availability zones has a separate data centre with its own independent power and network supplier.

Should there be a service disruption in one of availability zones Amazon Web Services will automatically switch to the other ones. Kainos Smart application will route all requests automatically to redundant servers. Further, all Kainos Smart databases and services (PostgreSQL and Redis) leverage multi-zone deployments. In addition, Kainos Smart has enabled automatic daily database snapshots for its databases. The database snapshots are automatically copied to Amazon Web Services secondary region. Files stored in Kainos Smart are stored in Amazon Web Services S3 service with a live bi-directional cross region replication.

Availability SLA: 99.5% (unplanned outages)

Due to the low price point of the product Kainos do not offer service credits or refunds.

For more information on the SLA please refer to section “Guaranteed availability”.
