Improve IT-Business Alignment Through an Internal SLA – Executive Brief

Author(s): Frank Trovato, David Xu, Andrew Sharp

The business is rarely satisfied with current service levels. However this dissatisfaction is often based on perception. Without an internal SLA that effectively tracks current service levels, IT is not able to effectively address perception issues.

This executive brief helps make your case for implementing an internal SLA project, including how to:

  • Scope the SLA you need to solve your service-level challenges.
  • Determine your current service levels.
  • Create the business-facing SLA.

Business leaders have service-level expectations regardless of whether there is a formal agreement. The SLA process enables IT to manage those expectations.
