So in supplier transitioning, we're going to talk about correct transitioning processes, intellectual property rights accounting, and the establishment of the final clean baseline. Supplier transitioning is the actual movement of code modules and other elements from one member to another in the supply chain. So involved here is a process by which we are going to track all movement and that it's rationalized in such a way that we ensure consistent performance.

The program object's integrity is a known commodity and the safeguard at all transfer points between the various stages in the supply chain. Assurance that points to the points of ingress and egress and the performance of verification and validation with each arrival or departure. And it captures that any exceptions are immediately addressed. Now this will involve a detailed plan covering the movement, the object inspection process itself, item verification validation checking that must be developed to address the exposure and ultimately potential vulnerability of these objects when in motion.

Now in the course of building code repositories, a system of cataloging of all items, no matter how small, should have been designed for tracking and monitoring. Each item will have copyrights associated with it. And these must be recognized as early as possible and tracked to ensure all contractual obligations regarding them are met and the risk of later impacts such as copyrights violations being established that results in stoppages and potentially lawsuits can be effectively mitigated early on rather than dealt with in the courtroom. Additionally, all other intellectual property must be accounted for at as early a stage as possible to protect the interests of each supply chain member, and by extension, each owner of the copyright to the given module. In the end, the result should be a clean sign-off for each and every item, all present and correct, all rights documented as granted, and all contract obligations satisfied for each stage in order to ensure clearly defined and clean baseline.

And so we have come to the end of the final module in the course. Thank you for attending the Cloud Academy's presentation of this very important and highly useful certification. So, from all of us at Cloud Academy, thank you very much.
