Introduction

;axwell wants to get you live as soon as possible. The more responsive and diligent you are on getting tasks done the quicker you can go live! We can typically get you up and running in 45 days if the time and resources on your side are provided as outlined below.

Our project plan will have all the details spelled out for you and your team and will be customized in the first couple of meetings. If you have any questions about this process please feel free to reach out to our support team at [e-mail].

This project requires a commitment by both your team and Maxwell. Your project team should be aware of their level of involvement across all onboarding phases as illustrated below:

General Client Responsibilities

General Maxwell Responsibilities

Give top priority to this project until it’s done. Involve your Compliance team from the start and secure their pre-approval of all relevant content. Own your integration relationships and ensure that they are delivering as needed Provide deliverables (e.g. your logo) and decisions (e.g. LOS auto-push vs. manual push) within two business days of request. Ensure that those needed for project decision-making attend appropriate calls. Ensure relevant staff attend training calls.

Plan and manage onboarding project scope, schedule, and guidelines. Serve as the central point of contact for scheduling Maxwell resources, scheduling meetings, and managing the submission and execution of change requests. Enlist other members of the Customer Success Team to assist as needed.

Maxwell estimates your team will spend at least twice as much time onboarding as our team. If your team has limited availability, please alert your Maxwell project manager so we can adjust your onboarding schedule.

Key Assumptions

• Unless otherwise agreed in advance, any custom development will be scoped, planned, and executed as a separate follow-on project that begins as soon as you are live.

• There will be a maximum of three rounds of Borrower question flow revisions prior to go-live.
