A3

  • Service based SLA

  • Multi level SLA


A4

Typically, an SLA is made up of any of the following:

  • 1.Service name
  • 2.Clearance information (with location and date)
  • 3.Contract duration
  • 4.Description/ desired customer outcome
  • 5.Service and asset criticality

  • 11.Responsibilities
  • 12.Costs and pricing

A5

SACM stands for Service Asset and Configuration Management. By capturing information and keeping it up to date, we help people make informed decisions at the right time. In addition, providing accurate configuration information can proactively help resolve incidents and problems much faster.

A6

The Operational Level Agreement is an agreement between an IT service provider and another part of the same organization. This could be the development team, the support team or helpdesk

A7

Critical Success Factor (CSF) is the term for an element that is necessary for an organization or project to achieve its mission. It is what drives the company forward through its strategy.

A8

An SDP is produced for each new IT service, major change, or IT service retirement.


A9

The Service Catalogue contains a list of services that an organization provides, often to its employees or customers. For each service within the catalogue, we typically include description, timeframes or SLA for fulfilling the service, owners (who is entitled to request/view the service), costs and how to fulfil the service.

A10

Attachment sizes for mailboxes

A11

We use Change Management to standardize our methods and procedures for dealing with changes and thereby reducing risk and disruption. We record all changes to assets or confirmation items in the Configuration Management System. This allows us to define and agree on those changes and ensure that only people who have the appropriate authority can make changes.

A12

  • Record it
  • Evaluate it
  • Prioritize it
  • Plan it
  • Test it
  • Finally, implement it


A13

  • Unique identification for the release
  • Type of release (minor, major, beta, alpha etc)
  • Naming conventions for the release e.g. dates, times, version numbers
  • Description of the release
  • Roles for each stage of the release
  • Expected frequency
  • Mechanisms to build, install and distribute the release (focusing on re-use and efficiency here)
  • Criteria for acceptance of the release into various environments (test, training, live etc.)


A14

  • Service package
  • SLP
  • Interface definitions for the service provider
  • Release plans
  • Acceptance criteria


A15

All of these are types of testing:

  • Usability testing
  • Accessibility testing
  • Process testing
  • Stress and load testing
  • Availability testing
  • Compatibility testing
  • Security testing
  • Regression testing
