Service level management processes often do not run automatically. So shouldn't the focus be on evaluation rather than on the collection of key figures?
amasol projects show how agreements can be checked and presented in a recipient-oriented way. This leaves time for optimisation.
Fact-based decisions for controlling IT services
A discussion with customers, specialist departments and suppliers at eye level requires a comprehensible presentation of agreed key figures and their details.
In a top-down approach - starting with the contract definition - required logics are created by means of visual modelling. Due to the step-by-step preparation, calculations are traceable at any time. Results are presented in role-based dashboards and reports and can be automatically distributed by e-mail.
Advantages of the automation platform of Digital Fuel:
• Rapid quality improvement of the services offered
• Avoidance of manual and error-prone activities
• Integrated management of contracts (SLA, OLA, UC) including versioning
• Reuse existing metrics across customers/suppliers and services
• Role-specific reporting, e.g. for customers and service owners
