Overview
A service-level agreement is an agreement
between two or more parties, where one is
the customer and the others are service
providers. This can be a legally binding
formal or an informal "contract" (for
example, internal department
relationships). The agreement may involve
separate organizations, or different teams
within one organization. Contracts
between the service provider and other
third parties are often (incorrectly) called
SLAs – because the level of service has
been set by the (principal) customer, there
can be no "agreement" between third
parties; these agreements are simply
"contracts." Operational-level agreements
or OLAs, however, may be used by internal
groups to support SLAs. If some aspect of
a service has not been agreed with the
customer, it is not an "SLA".

Common metrics
Service-level agreements can contain

objectives. A common case in IT-service
management is a call center or service
desk. Metrics commonly agreed to in
these cases include:
