April 2008 slides for our department's ITSM share-and-learn, where people come to talk about IT Service Management best practices and how they can be applied to our department.
This document discusses IT service level agreements (SLAs). It begins by explaining why companies need network operators to maintain IT services. Next, it defines what an SLA is, which is an agreement that measures IT service quality against customer expectations. The document then discusses how SLA metrics like uptime are interpreted and why maintaining SLAs is important. Finally, it outlines factors that influence maintaining SLAs both internally, like high availability infrastructure, and externally through connectivity providers, as well as controls like monitoring, maintenance, and recovery planning.
This document provides a template for a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to formally define the level of service between two parties, one as the customer and the other as the service provider. The template outlines the service description and scope, roles and responsibilities of each party, processes for requesting service, hours of coverage and response times, maintenance procedures, pricing structure, reporting requirements, and duration and review of the agreement.
Application SLA - the missing part of complete SLA managementComarch
How can operators ensure that the proper quality of so many complex services is delivered? Has the software for network and service monitoring enough functionality to provide the right information? Fortunately, OSS systems have evolved, and they currently contain functionalities allowing the
operator to build comprehensive service management platforms. Today, operators cannot even think about delivering modern services of a high quality without providing a SLA. This means that service assurance with SLAs becomes the most critical aspect of modern OSS solutions. Additionally, since most modern services are built based on a number of applications, delivering the services over network, the applications are becoming the core of the service models.
This document is a service level agreement (SLA) template that outlines responsibilities, service descriptions, key performance indicators (KPIs), availability targets, and reporting procedures. The SLA describes the business service covered, exclusions, purpose, users, and responsibilities of the service owner and manager. It establishes service hours, descriptions of sub-services, and KPI targets for availability, reliability, and response times. The SLA also covers service continuity plans, charging, performance incentives, and regular review and reporting requirements.
The document discusses service level agreements (SLAs) between network service providers and customers. It covers the motivation for SLAs, defining service level parameters and objectives, developing the SLA, and ongoing management to meet the SLA. Key points include identifying meaningful, measurable parameters; setting realistic objectives; monitoring performance; and outlining consequences for not meeting objectives like restoring service or financial penalties. The goal is an agreed understanding between parties on expected network service levels.
This document discusses service level agreements (SLAs) between business function owners and IT service providers. It defines key terms and outlines a standardized approach to categorizing business functions into support tiers with predefined SLAs. Standardizing SLAs results in consistent architectures, documentation, support processes, and performance metrics across business functions. The goal is to establish clear expectations for both parties around system availability and resolve any potential disputes.

An SLA is an agreement between a customer and service provider that defines the services to be provided and required service levels. An OLA is an internal agreement within a company that defines how groups will deliver services to support the SLA. While an SLA is a public commitment to customers, an OLA is an internal agreement on how groups will work together to ensure the SLA is met. OLAs form the foundation to enable the organization to fulfill its commitments in the SLA.
IT managers and people involved in purchase of hardware for your organisation. here is a bit of what you need to know.
and how you could get support from manufacturers when such machines/software break down or need support/ maintenance .
This document outlines a Service Level Agreement between JK Production and National Bank for the provision of digital media services. The SLA details the services to be provided, including updating an image gallery and content, software reviews and upgrades, and tutorials. It also specifies the requirements and responsibilities of both the service provider and client, as well as service measurements, reporting, requests, and any exceptions. The SLA is effective until superseded and will be reviewed quarterly.
A Service Level Agreement defines the level of service expected between a service provider and customer. It outlines different service level scenarios for critical, departmental, and individual requests, as well as response versus resolution times. Current service levels are reviewed and the process for submitting service requests, including for forgotten passwords, is outlined.
The document discusses service level agreements (SLAs) in cloud computing. It defines an SLA as a contract between a customer and service provider that formally defines the aspects of a service including scope, quality, and responsibilities. The SLA specifies performance measurement, problem management, customer duties, warranties, and termination terms. SLAs can be defined at different levels including corporate, customer, and service levels.
This document outlines Kwader Technology's service level agreement (SLA) solutions. It defines what an SLA is, the key elements that should be included in an SLA like objectives, service descriptions, performance standards, compensation for failures to meet standards, and provisions for contract management. The document explains how SLAs benefit both customers and service providers by establishing clear expectations around service delivery. It then provides information about Kwader's experience providing SLA services in Saudi Arabia and contact details for inquiries.
This document discusses shortcomings of traditional service level agreements (SLAs) and proposes an alternative approach using performance decrements. It notes that while SLAs are needed, they are often disliked due to unrealistic terms and paltry penalties. The document then recommends focusing SLAs on major outages instead of minor issues by using bonuses for exceeding targets and penalties for missing critical thresholds. It acknowledges challenges in implementing this approach but provides examples of how decrements could work in practice and lessons that could improve more traditional SLAs.
NEGOTIATING AND MANAGING OPERATING LEVEL AGREEMENTS (OLAs)-Dr John Rajanayak...John Rajanayakam Ed.D
This document discusses negotiating and managing operational level agreements (OLAs) in a multisourcing IT environment. OLAs define operational expectations between suppliers and need to be embedded in contracts and governance. OLAs should be negotiated along with service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) when entering or renewing a master service agreement. Negotiations should use past performance data, focus on process, and involve leadership from all suppliers. OLAs and SLAs both require penalties for noncompliance and should be managed through regular meetings and reporting to ensure collaboration and issue resolution between suppliers.
Customer-Centric Service Quality ManagementTTI Telecom
The document discusses improving customer-centric service quality management. It emphasizes integrating a variety of network and customer data to create a unified service management system. This allows monitoring key performance indicators and identifying issues to proactively alert of service irregularities. Taking a customer-focused approach to service quality monitoring and maintaining it as an ongoing process can help close the gap between customer needs and operator service quality.
The document outlines the operational structure and processes for transitioning to a new DSL voice over IP (VOIP) service. Key aspects include:
1) Deploying servers simultaneously across locations while ensuring consistent configurations and testing the service with select employees first.
2) Evaluating service parameters based on feedback and surveys to identify any issues before full rollout.
3) Maintaining configuration items, media libraries, and stores to manage the infrastructure.
4) Establishing configuration management and change management processes to ensure consistency and handle incidents.
5) Validating the service and collecting customer satisfaction feedback once users complete the trial period.
The document discusses several telecommunication services including broadband internet, VOIP, IPTV, SMS gateway, and BlackBerry services. It provides details on the service portfolio, pipeline, demand management, financial management, design, supplier management, service level agreements, and continuity plans for each service. Key information included are the services offered, target customers, value propositions, pricing structures, components, and organizational responsibilities for managing the services.
The document provides an overview of Service Design according to ITIL. It discusses how Service Design translates strategic plans into service specifications and designs to be implemented through Service Transition and Operations. Key aspects of Service Design include designing new or changed services, service management systems, technology architecture, processes, and metrics. The document also covers topics like service portfolio and catalog management, sourcing approaches, key Service Design processes, and elements of Service Level Agreements.
The document discusses key concepts in ITIL Service Strategy. It defines Service Strategy as planning and implementing IT service management practices aligned to business needs. It outlines the core processes in Service Strategy: Strategy Generation, Service Portfolio Management, Financial Management, and Demand Management.

End-to-End Service Quality Management for Mobile BroadbandMuhammad Imran Awan
This document discusses the need for mobile service providers to shift from traditional network management to end-to-end service quality management (SQM) in order to manage quality of experience for customers using mobile broadband services. It outlines SQM functions like monitoring key performance indicators, service models, dashboards, and notifications. Integrating SQM across transport, backhaul, and wireless networks allows providers to gain visibility into application and subscriber service performance. SQM data can also provide business intelligence on service usage trends and help evolve management from SQM to formal service level management.
The document discusses best practices for organizations outsourcing their managed network services to third-party providers. It recommends (1) structuring contracts to allow termination of specific services without impacting others, (2) establishing clear service level agreements with financial penalties for non-compliance, and (3) engaging in vendor management throughout the engagement to ensure quality service delivery. Outsourcing network services can reduce costs but also exposes organizations to risks, so following these practices can help mitigate risks and maximize results from outsourcing.
Service level management involves two cycles. The first cycle is to understand customer needs, agree on service level agreements that define key performance indicators, and negotiate these SLAs. The second cycle is to monitor compliance with the SLAs, report on performance, and identify ways to improve service delivery and meet future agreements.

How to Measure the the Quality of Service in Cloud Based Technology?Madushi Rathnayake
This study introduces a framework for service oriented cloud computing with the focus on its service quality aspects in which most demanded by cloud users. It considered two dominant sub-layers such that functional and runtime; against cloud characteristics. SEQUAL model and recent literature were used to derive the quality constructs in cloud environment whilst the opinions of the industry experts were adding more to the blend. The proposed model gives proper identification of service quality expectations and also applicable for different business or geographical contexts. The validity of it for Sri Lankan context were evaluated in this study by using questionnaire based survey while PLS-SEM (partial least squares-structural equation modeling) technique was used to evaluate the outcome. Further the research findings shows the significance of functional layer is rather expected by user than runtime layer and prioritizes quality factors of each layer; in which Service time, Information and data security, Cost benefit, Service Transparency, SLA (Service Level Agreement) are some of them.

Chris Bryan: Continuous Service Improvement in a SIAM EnvironmentitSMF UK
In a time of digital transformation there is a business imperative to continuously improve services, yet too often continual service improvement (CSI) is often left as an isolated afterthought in IT operations. In this presentation Chris outlines a proven model for implementing CSI driven by business value, and intelligently inter-connected with other service management capabilities, processes, and functions.
Learn how to: govern CSI, identify business benefits, align metrics across initiatives, introduce a portfolio approach to CSI, make CSI both agile and lean, and integrate CSI with problem management.
David D'Agostino and Tony Price: Kicking the KPI HabititSMF UK
Traditional KPIs are no longer relevant as they focus too much on internal IT metrics rather than customer experience. Experience level agreements (ELAs) are needed to measure service quality from the customer perspective across the entire service lifecycle. Existing intelligence focuses too much on internal operations like incidents and problems rather than how customers actually use services. A holistic approach is required that considers the full customer experience from initial demand through delivery and value realization.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
