  • Uptime / Downtime Compliance
  • Downtime specified by the SLA is a compliance requirement.
  • Rescheduling requires management approval.
  • Missed downtime (due to request by the business function owner) suspends SLA compliance requirements until the downtime is performed.
  • Missed downtime (due to request by the business function owner) is credited to the service provider for future outages, regardless of whether it is rescheduled for a later date.
  • Any outages during a suspended SLA is charged against the business function owner, not the service provider.
  • The SLA can only be re-activated by performing the missed downtime, or by performing the next scheduled downtime.
  • Outages associated with mandatory SLA downtime is scheduled a year in advance.
  • Eliminates excuses that scheduled downtime was not known about.
  • Eliminates excuses for scheduling conflicts.
