SLA stands for Service Level Agreement, which basically addresses the expectations of the buyer. In event the vendor does not meet the requirement, the buyer of the services can expect compensation, or may be allowed to void the contract.
Key Take Away: Service level management has become a big buzzword in the service industry. Creating a SLA helps set expectations on both sides of the coin.
