Environment Freeze:

“Hard Freeze” windows are designed to prevent ALL changes when resources are
unavailable to implement or address non-critical issues.  

“Soft Freeze” windows are designed to minimize changes and reduce risk leading into a
hard freeze.  Soft freezes are typically a window of time leading into a hard freeze or are
periods where Hosting has reduced staffing/coverage.  

All freeze periods begin with a soft freeze at 5pm in the customer’s local time zone the
day before the announced freeze date. A hard freeze begins when the last Hosting
resource is available to support their workday (5pm) and continues until the primary
Hosting resource supporting that region resumes work, no sooner than 9 AM after the
last day of the freeze.

Please contact your Customer Success Manager, Consultant or Project Manager with
any questions or concerns for project work around the production freeze dates.
