Service level agreement is not so technical as it may seem; it can actually help boost end-user or even customer satisfaction through ensuring compliance of the terms and conditions that have been determined for services provided by the IT department.
On a larger scale, service level agreements are good indicators of the performance of your system. These agreements can also help you figure out if the services being provided are in compliance with requirements. If the requirements are set or determined in consonance with the business development team, then your service level agreement can help facilitate loyalty of your customers through ensuring their needs are met.
Ensuring service level agreement (SLA) directives are met can result in several advantages, including:
> Defining and outlining expected standards of service; both from the side of the vendor, and that of the customer
> Ensuring and measuring compliance of IT services being provided
> Help define benchmarks and quality standards
> Help define process and implementation better
> Setting clear rules and making expectations easier to understand
> Helps goal-setting
Application performance monitoring and the SLA
Your application monitoring tool can help you monitor service level agreement compliance. Some tools will also provide service level reporting, which in turn can help you monitor service level agreement compliance. One of the advantages of choosing a tool that can help monitor SLA compliance is that it will ensure your systems run smoothly and with lesser disruptions. Some tools also have reporting levels to align the customer's perspective with IT goals and deliverables. These tools not only monitor individual components and services, they also help address the need to enforce the SLA directives.
A service level agreement need not be taken as a proverbial sword hanging over the heads of the IT personnel. Judiciously used, it works as an effective means of communicating expectations from the customer perspective to those in charge of managing the technical details.
The ideal performance testing tool
Service level agreements can also help ensure regular review and maintenance so that bugs are caught before they have caused severe damage. Service level reporting can prove to be extremely useful when it generates the necessary results in the stipulated time frame. Alerts are a necessary component of reporting as they bring to notice issues and problems, thus initiating troubleshooting wherever needed. Comprehensive performance testing tools approach the need for a service level agreement to be implemented across an organization. An SLA that is implemented across all of the systems in a business helps implement consistent performance and ensure smoother operations across the organization. Further, you can choose advanced options that allow you to test applications in a manner similar to that of an end user. This includes testing transaction time, response time, other factors such as ease of access, etc.
