Most organizations have service level targets for response and resolution time, but few have true service level agreements (even though they may call them SLAs). The reality is that there are three components to establishing service levels: an operational level agreement (OLA), an underpinning contract (UC), and the actual SLA. How do these three things relate, and how can a support team go about building a good foundation for realistic service levels? This session will discuss how a support organization can approach putting together an effective structure that provides a reasonable, stable foundation for service levels.
