Managed Services FAQs.
Q: What is the difference between SLAs and an XLAs?
A: Most MSPs use Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to measure success. They include important metrics to track if service levels are being met, such as response times and ticket volumes. SLAs are really important however, but they aren’t a true measure for success. That’s because they miss out a key component in IT support – the experience. A short response time doesn’t automatically equate to a happy end user. We prefer XLAs – Experience Level Agreements. Of course we still track all the core technical metrics, but we also put a big emphasis on measuring the true experience of the end user. This helps us to create a truly personalised service that gives users what they really want from their MSP.
Q: What are value chain led managed services?
A: Value chain led managed services consider the full value chain of a business as opposed to just specific functions or departments. It’s an approach that focuses on improving efficiency, performance, and value creation across the full breadth of an organisation. We aim to maximise value for our clients, their customers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders, by improving efficiency, reducing costs, streamlining processes and more.
