IT Service Category & SLA
Purpose of service catalogue & SLA
ITS provides a wide range of IT services to support teaching, learning, research and administration. When several requests happen together, it may bring a disorder in service process. An SLA defines an amount of time for a task to be completed, like resolving an incident or fulfilling a service catalogue order. This could reduce the effort and time needed to administer agreements and provide better and more timelier information,lead to fewer service problems and faster resolutions when problems occur. Finally result in a stronger long-term relationship between ITS and recipients.
