SLAtavoite

SLAtavoite is a term originating from the Finnish language, combining "SLA" (Service Level Agreement) and "tavoite" (goal). It essentially refers to a goal or objective that is defined within the framework of a Service Level Agreement. In practice, SLAtavoite represents a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) target that a service provider commits to meeting for a client. These goals are crucial for establishing clear expectations and ensuring the quality and performance of services.

Examples of SLAtavoite can be found across various industries. In IT, an SLAtavoite might be to achieve a 99.9% uptime for a critical server, or to resolve customer support tickets within an average of two hours. In telecommunications, it could be a target for network latency or data transfer speeds. The specific nature of an SLAtavoite is dictated by the service being provided and the agreed-upon metrics for its success.

The presence of clearly defined SLAtavoitteet in a service contract allows both parties to monitor performance objectively. If a service provider consistently fails to meet its SLAtavoitteet, it can trigger predefined remedies, such as service credits or penalties, as outlined in the SLA document. Conversely, consistently exceeding these goals can lead to a stronger client relationship and potential for future business. Therefore, SLAtavoite serves as a fundamental component in managing and evaluating service delivery.
