number of SLAs for which the customer has not been registered in the service
management application.
|

This
KPI reflects accuracy of the process to register customers. This number must
be zero. A non-zero value of the KPI would mean that all SLA performance for
the customer is not being tracked and reported.

Number
of Services not covered by effective OLAs
|
Number
|
|
This
KPI highlights the number of Services where SLAs are backed up by
corresponding OLAs vis-à-vis the total number of services being offered.

effectively meet the committed SLAs) if not more stringent.
