  Service Partners and their agents are responsible for maintaining the security and reliability of their equipment. The following items are considered security risks to the Arise Platform and, upon detection, may subject your business to the suspension or termination of its MSA or SOW: ▪ Malware infected software ▪ Virtualized Operating Systems (i.e.: VMWare, Parallels, etc.) ▪ Non-Arise provided VPN software or Proxy settings ▪ TOR or other privacy software Accessories, Software and Internet/Phone Service Providers (continued Hard-wired broadband Internet service via DSL, Cable, or Fiber Optic connection

  The service should be connected directly from the wall to your telephone.
  
  Softphones (an application that is installed on your computer) and cell phones are not permitted.
  
  The servicing telephone line should not interface at any point with the computer.
  
  All servicing telephone lines should not have voicemail, fax, or other features on the line (other than unlimited long distance, if necessary – please see page 7 for details  ASD (Arise Secure Desktop)
  The Arise Secure Desktop (ASD) is a tool designed to temporarily convert a PC into a “servicing station” for the client program a business will be servicing. The ASD provides a secure and streamlined environment which is optimized to successfully access the Arise Platform to service a client program.
  Not all client programs require the use of an ASD so it is recommended that an agent review the review the Opportunity Announce in detail to see if an ASD will be needed. • If the client program selected uses the ASD, all the information required for its use is contained within a USB flash drive and instructions that will be provided to the enrolled agent. • Upon enrollment in a certification course for a client program, make sure to keep an eye out for an email with instructions on how to install the ASD.
  
  The ASD is an additional operating system on a computer. It does not interact with an existing windows operating system. It is launched from a USB flash drive and does not install on a computer. Once the ASD is removed, no trace of it is left on the PC. AVG (Arise Virtual Gateway
   AVG, the Arise Virtual Gateway, is a system that helps improve consistency and efficiency while centrally and seamlessly managing call routing.
  Service Partners and agents have the option to use either a POTS line (plain old telephone service) or VoIP (aka digital telephone or cable telephony – please see page 5 for details) to service a client program. However, call centers and agents servicing client programs that route calls through the AVG system will need to be able to dial into the AVG (786) number. • Service Partners and agents who do not have Miami area code phone numbers (305 or 786) will need to be able to dial long distance on their service lines which may result in long distance charges. For that reason, bulk or unlimited long-distance service plans are recommended and available from most carriers to avoid per-minute charges.
  
  • A small number of client programs currently prohibit the use of VoIP while servicing and a POTS line will be required to service those programs. If the client program does not currently allow VoIP, agents will not be servicing on AVG.
  
  Please be sure to review the Opportunity Announcement in detail to see if AVG is required on the client program you select.
