Exhibit A
Jumpstart Service High Level Description
Overview

Looker will provide subject matter expertise, working under the direction of Customer project managers and technical staff, as part of Customer project teams. Looker will work to ensure the best application of Looker technology within these projects. Assistance and mentoring within and across project teams will be a priority of the Looker personnel in this engagement. This will include not just guidance, but also hands-on work in designing, developing, testing and deploying applications using Looker Software as part of the Customer's solution footprint.
The Jumpstart Service is delivered remotely.
Approach
A Jumpstart typically has the following elements:
