Service
Level
Agreement

What is a Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

A service level agreement (SLA) is a contract between a service provider (either internal or external) and the end user that defines the level of service expected from the service provider. SLAs are output-based in that their purpose is specifically to define what the customer will receive.

What goes into a Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

What goes into a Service Level Agreement will depend on your requirements, application needs and staff/skill level needed to maintain the application.

Some examples of contents could be:

  • A description of the service being provided – maintenance of areas such as network connectivity, domain name servers, dynamic host configuration protocol servers
  • Reliability – when the service is available (percentage uptime) and the limits outages can be expected to stay within
  • Responsiveness – the punctuality of services to be performed in response to requests and scheduled service dates
  • Procedure for reporting problems – who can be contacted, how problems will be reported, procedure for escalation, and what other steps are taken to resolve the problem efficiently
  • Monitoring and reporting service level – who will monitor performance, what data will be collected and how often as well as how much access the customer is given to performance statistics
  • Consequences for not meeting service obligations – may include credit or reimbursement to customers, or enabling the customer to terminate the relationship.
  • Escape clauses or constraints – circumstances under which the level of service promised does not apply. An example could be an exemption from meeting uptime requirements in circumstance that floods, fires or other hazardous situations damage the ISP’s equipment.

 

Exact analytics of the above can be difficult to measure we try our very best to assist.

Do I need a SLA?

An SLA would be required when the project is of significant value and importance to the client.

An SLA would not be required unless you expressly require one.
