Service Level Agreement (SLA)
What is Service Level Agreement (SLA)?
A Service Level Agreement is a formal contract between a service provider and a customer that defines the expected level of service. It typically includes metrics for uptime, response times, and performance standards.
Why It Matters

It sets clear expectations for both parties, reducing the potential for disputes and misunderstandings.
-
SLAs provide a framework for measuring and reporting on service performance.
-
They offer customers financial or service-based protection in the event of a service failure.
