  • Patent number: 7228255
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a service level of a service provided by a service provider to a customer under a service level agreement. The measurement data is adjudicated to correct the measurement data in accordance with at least one adjudication element that identifies a rule specifying how to correct the measurement data. The adjudicated measurement data is transformed into operational data by merging the adjudicated measurement data using a logic specified in the service level agreement. The operational data is evaluated by applying a formula to the operational data, resulting in the operational data being configured for being subsequently qualified. The operational data is qualified by comparing the evaluated operational data with specified service level targets for at least one service level period and identifying operational data points meeting and/or not meeting the specified service level targets.

  • Publication number: 20060171509
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a service level of a service provided by a service provider to a customer under a service level agreement. The actual measurement data is adjudicated to correct the measurement data in accordance with at least one adjudication element that provides information relating to how to correct the measurement data. The adjudicated measurement data is transformed into operational data by being reorganized into one or more groups of data. The operational data is evaluated by applying a formula to the operational data, resulting in the operational data being configured for being subsequently qualified. The operational data is qualified by comparing the evaluated operational data with specified service level targets for at least one service level period and identifying operational data points meeting and/or not meeting the specified service level targets.

  • Publication number: 20060133296
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a service level of a service provided by a service provider to a customer under a service level agreement. The measurement data is transformed into operational data. The operational data is evaluated through use of a formula represented as a tree, resulting in the evaluated operational data populating the nodes of the tree as the tree is traversed from the root node to leaf nodes. The evaluated operational data at the nodes includes a top result and intermediate results. The top result is qualified by being compared with specified service level targets for at least one service level period during which the service has been performed. The intermediate results are qualified by being compared with generated new service level targets.
