      Service Level Agreements (SLAs) - Preparation Guidelines for Effective SLAs

      Corporate Governance

      Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have become an important aspect of every company today. This is so primarily from the fact that most companies use some form of the service provider in the course of their day-to-day operations. In order for this to happen, an agreement typically an SLA is created that describes the type of service that will be provided by the provider to the client/customer. More specifically, an SLA is a contract that formally defines the service being performed by the provider in addition to detailing various aspects like roles, responsibilities, quality, scope, payment terms, and processes.
