Service level agreement services we offer

Enterprise-grade IT service level agreement for startups

Every business that uses third-party IT outsourcing services understands the importance of signing Service Level Agreements or SLAs with their IT service provider. IT Svit, being one of the leaders of the IT outsourcing market in Ukraine and one of the top 10 Managed Service Providers worldwide, clearly understands the importance of service level agreement for IT services. Over 10 years and more than 500 DevOps projects have given us significant experience with providing remote Amazon web services management and customer support on other cloud platforms.

AWS service level agreement for a fraction of costs

As AWS is the most popular cloud platform worldwide, we have the biggest expertise working with it. IT Svit provides all the range of products and features from Amazon Web Services, from IaaS deployment to PaaS support and SaaS management. We do it on behalf of the customer and guarantee stable uptime for any project or product deployed to AWS and managed by IT Svit under our SLA — and it costs much less than ordering these services directly from AWS.

No service credits, as there are no caps on our service levels

The key component of any SLA is the description of the metrics that ensure the efficiency and completeness of the services provided, including the guaranteed service levels, service caps, and applicable service credits. When working with IT Svit, you get no service caps, as we concentrate on proactively removing bottlenecks to minimize possible performance issues and optimizing the infrastructure to reduce the numbers of incidents.

FAQ

Whay SLA is so important?

SLA or Service Level Agreement is the key component of any contract in IT services. If you hire another company to perform some tasks, you want to make sure there is a precise description of the types of possible issues, detailed list of incident response times and an understandable, trackable issue resolution procedure in place.

IT Svit works under SLA that differs a lot from common IT service level agreement specimens. The main difference is that we have no service caps, meaning we do not set the limit on the number of incidents resolved monthly, nor do we specify the service credits for this reason. Instead, we apply our ample DevOps expertise to audit the infrastructure and workflows in place, identify the bottlenecks that hinder growth and negatively impact the stability of operations, and proactively remove them. This way, we minimize the numbers of incidents, ensuring the stability of your operations and decreasing the workload for our DevOps engineers, who support multiple projects each.

The goal of our Service Level Agreement is to establish a reliable partnership between IT Svit and our customers and describe the provided services, supported infrastructure components, notification and alerting methods, as well as the KPIs for every project we perform.
