SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
IST complies with the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL version 4) for providing each information system and technology resource with a general service level agreement, or "SLA".
ITIL is the pre-eminent framework for managing IT service delivery around the world underpinning ISO/IEC 20000, the international standard for IT service management. Developed in 2005 by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7, ITIL defines a service lifecycle model that prescribes specific processes and activities during design, development, delivery, and support of IT services.
Simply put, an SLA defines what the IST Department and PSFA business operations should expect when service is requested, usually via the Spiceworks ticketing system.
In accordance with ITIL, IST evaluates service issues along 5 categories of criticality as follows:
| Critical | Major | Medium | Minor | Low |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| System-wide failure impacting business continuity on a global scale. |
One or more discrete sub-system failures impacting business continuity on a localized scale. |
One or more discrete sub-system failures impacting business continuity on a regional/localized scale. |
Requests for configurations or enhancement that improve product satisfaction supporting adoption. |
General service request, nuisance items, or request for enhancement(s). |
