You must provide IBM with a list of the trading partners with whom you wish to trade using the Cloud Service. IBM will develop a project plan, which will include definition of roles and responsibilities and establishing a deployment schedule to complete the implementation. IBM will submit a questionnaire to your trading partners on your behalf which will gather information needed to establish connectivity. If IBM is not able to communicate with any of the trading partners that you have identified, we will refer those trading partners to you so that you can assume responsibility for contacting the trading partner and completing the questionnaire so that the trading partner can be set up. IBM will try two times to contact each of the trading partners via email, fax, or phone communication. For those communication efforts that fail or where trading partners have not responded after IBM’s two attempts, IBM will make one follow-up call to gain compliance. These set up services also include testing up to four (4) times with each trading partner and working to resolve general issues related to the Cloud Service. IBM will also generate an AS2 certificate or an AS2 name on your behalf, if required. IBM will allocate an IP address for the domain that you provide.

You and IBM each retain responsibility for access control, firewalls, user security, and hardware at their respective network entry point. As part of this Cloud Service, IBM will implement connectivity between you and IBM and will work with you during joint connectivity testing between you and IBM.

You may also choose to use mailslots, which are components of a mailbox that allows the drop off and pick up of data. IBM will retain and provide on-line visibility to data which is 0 - 35 days old, via browser-based visibility tools. After 35 days you will no longer have access to the data because it will be purged. Data may be copied to non-production services to enable IBM to test and improve the quality of IBM’s offerings.
