FITS Service Level Management

 

 

Service Level Management

Service level management is the process of ensuring that ICT services are supported to an acceptable level. It involves understanding the ICT requirements of the end-users and working within the constraints of available resources.The result is an agreed, consistent level of service that end-users can come to expect.This agreement is between those responsible for ICT and the end-users, who are usually represented by one or more people from each area or department.Once agreement is reached, the service level management process facilitates the creation of underpinning agreements with third parties involved in the service provision.
