Answer

The important SLA terms are the terms that decide what happens during a failure.

  • Covered assets
  • Machine type and serial number
  • Response target
  • Parts and labor coverage
  • Parts sourcing path
  • Escalation contact
  • After-hours handling
  • Exclusions
  • Replacement-part validation

For older Power and AS/400 hardware, also define the refresh triggers that would end the maintenance bridge and start a replacement project.
