The continual monitoring and reviewing of the IT services provided to the business or customer is the responsibility of the Service Level Manager. These requirements create a natural need for a set of metrics to be put in place. Service Level Managers are the key people in the management of IT services, with a continually expanding scope of tasks. With services becoming more elaborate, it is necessary to establish a set of metrics to measure current service performance as well as to serve as a benchmark.

Service Level Managers use Metricus for:
  • Monitoring service delivery against defined SLAs.
  • Proactively informing customers about potential efficiency gains or cost savings.
  • Ensuring that IT services are delivered in a timely manner.
  • Monitoring availability, capacity, incident, and change management along with other service-level processes.
  • Ensuring IT service continuity.
  • Finding areas that need improvement.
  • Identifying the underlying causes of incidents and problems.
  • Benchmarking performance against a target.
