WS1: Embedded/On-Premises & Workflow-Integrated Systems For embedded or on-premises systems, the provider issues a software update communicating end-of-service status, provides data export capabilities so deployers can extract data needed for continuity, and coordinates disabling or uninstallation. On-premises decommission may require deployer cooperation; the deployer agreement should specify the deployer’s obligations upon withdrawal notification. For systems integrated into deployer workflows, the provider offers migration guidance for alternative systems, provides parallel running periods where feasible, and supports deployers in conducting their own impact assessments. Workflow-integrated systems pose the highest transition risk: deployers may have built operational processes around the AI system’s outputs, and removing the system disrupts those processes. The transition timeline for embedded and workflow-integrated systems is typically longer than for API-served systems, factoring into the overall decommission plan. Key outputs
- Software update communicating end-of-service
- Data export capabilities for deployer continuity
- Migration guidance and parallel running support
- Extended transition timeline for embedded systems
