SOW Keys to Success: General Parameters and Expectations

General Client Expectations

  • Client will designate a Project Leader to serve as a single point of communication. This leader will coordinate across client stakeholders and negotiate internal discussions to present a single client perspective and decision mechanism. Client may elect to name a different leader for different areas
  • Client will allocate adequate, capable representation from each area using Cinc. For example, Accounting, Property management, Data Entry, Technical/Website support, etc.
  • Client will coordinate any requirements or information required from client related third parties
  • Client will execute any necessary documents to open bank accounts in a timely manner
  • Cinc is more than just software – it is a Solution. This means some business processes will change in order to maximize the software and realize the full benefits of the Solution. Cinc will bring expertise from many perspectives throughout the project and walk through all change management with client every step of the way. Client is ultimately responsible for ensuring all affected employees are aware of and compliant with any business process changes
  • Client will satisfy requirements as specified including completing assigned tasks and reviewing, testing, validating, and approving work as appropriate.
  • Client is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable requirements such as association rules, government regulations, and accounting practices
  • After project completion, client will take ownership for onboarding of new staff and associations
  • Client is responsible for acquiring new business. CINC can provide general marketing materials as well as client specific materials tailored toward Homeowner Boards. 
  • CINC will provide instructions for installing required hardware such as Printers and Scanners. CINC will provide assistance in accordance with these instructions and requirements. CINC is not responsible for client IT or hardware constraints or issues.
  • During the implementation process, you may acquire new Associations to your Portfolio. The best practice is to add these to the current Software System. Please let your Project Manager know as you are adding new communities.
  • CINC Accounting is browser agnostic. However, there are some applications required to be installed on user computers to support things such as check and invoice scanning and printing. These installations must be on Windows machines and cannot exist on same machine with other scanning applications.

Custom-Branded Homeowner App

The APP may be custom branded for Client for certain logos and colors. Client is responsible for providing CINC with the required text and graphics in the required format for the development of the APP.

All images provided are required to be in a Vector format, on a transparent background. The most common vector file formats are .eps, .ai, and .svg. Required graphics are:

·        A square version of your company’s logo in vector format.

·        A rectangular version of your company’s logo or other image in vector format, with an aspect ratio of up to 3:1.

·        A rectangular version of your company’s logo in vector format that will fit within a 500 x 100 pixel dimension.

A specific Client logo can be used if supplied in the specified Vector file format. If a logo cannot be supplied in the required Vector format, CINC can either a) attempt to convert to the required Vector format which may be subject to image degradation or b) use a “basic” approach of custom colors and Client name in a font selected by Client. CINC can use specific hexadecimal colors if provided by Client or CINC can provide a color palette from which to choose. CINC will supply available font choices as applicable. CINC will create the APP for Client and provide training.
