The Computer Department SLA addresses all of these areas, and goes a step beyond all previous SLAs, with the establishment of our tailored Gold and Silver Service Level Agreements.

Traditionally IT companies are focused on the time spent performing work for their clients. This makes it difficult to estimate labour charges before work is performed, thus rewarding IT companies that perform work slowly, rather than those that perform work efficiently.

The Computer Department SLA forms the backbone of the relationship between The Computer Department and you, the Client. It is provided to you on 2 different levels to match your service requirements and budget, each level clearly defining the work that will be performed under the SLA at no charge to you. 

It is an incredibly simple concept. The SLA is not based on the number of hours work allowed each month. There are simply a range of tasks, outcomes and regular maintenance that will be performed under the scope of the SLA. 

If The Computer Department engineers perform their work slowly or you have more problems in a certain month (problems that are covered under your SLA level), there is no additional cost to you.

The Computer Department SLA is therefore, a commitment to you to ensure work is performed efficiently and that the performance of your network is always at its peak.

This is an exciting concept offering from The Computer Department that is revolutionising the IT support world. It is about providing the efficiency and savings you deserve.
