OpenMaster enterprise-wide service level metrics for SLAs

Negotiate and demonstrate IT quality

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are an increasingly popular way to formalize the quality of IT service levels, whether the service is  provided by the internal IT organization or by external application service providers (ASPs) or managed service providers (MSPs). They bring benefits to all concerned, but they do demand regular, accurate, and unambiguous reports on whether the service levels actually delivered do meet the commitments.

OpenMaster provides precise measurement of SLA compliance, capturing, consolidating, and charting the service levels provided by the different components of the information system.

It gathers information from operating systems, databases, applications, network components, and any IT resource able to generate an alarm, event or log file, consolidates them in a relational database, and generates reports via various reporting options:

  • Ready-to-run reporting on systems, networks, alarms and resource availability using OpenMaster expertise packages
  • Personalized service level metrics, reporting on specific objects in specific formats, using OpenMaster toolkits
  • Intelligent correlation and reporting tools, with powerful data mining technology
