An engagement begins by defining the work scope, the client-controlled software environment, access requirements, turnaround expectations and review process. A paid pilot can be used before moving to recurring capacity.

• ✓ The scope is matched to the relevant MCR Associates service desk and its published commercial model.
• ✓ The client provides or approves the operating procedures, templates and escalation path for the work.
• ✓ The client retains control over the pace and scale of the engagement.

No. MCR Associates is designed to work in the client’s existing approved software, cloud environment or virtual desktop workflow. The exact tools supported depend on the service being engaged.

• ✓ The client controls user access, permissions and multi-factor authentication.
• ✓ Work is completed within the client’s approved templates and operating process.
• ✓ The client retains ownership of its software licences, records and administrative settings.

• ✓ MFA, restricted permissions and client-approved environments can be used where available.
• ✓ Confidentiality and data-handling requirements are established before operational work begins.

The client retains responsibility for final review, approvals and any regulated or client-facing decisions. MCR Associates provides operational preparation and support within the agreed scope.

• ✓ The relevant Australian licensed, registered or authorised client representative retains statutory responsibility where applicable.
• ✓ Review checkpoints and escalation paths are agreed for the client’s workflow.
• ✓ MCR Associates does not replace the client’s required principal, practitioner or decision-maker.

• ✓ Work is performed according to the client’s operational boundaries and approved procedures.
• ✓ The client nominates the appropriate supervisor or escalation contact.
• ✓ Confidentiality and non-solicitation commitments can be addressed within engagement terms.
