IT Contracts & SLAs

COURSE OVERVIEW

IT Contracts & Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are unique in many aspects from other contracts. In order to ensure that you are receiving the level of service that you are expecting, it is important that you know how to put together a Service Level Agreement that ensures that you receive the service that you need and will be paying for.
