• You need to understand what the SLA's should include and how they should be structured to be responsive to business change.
• You need to identify which other metrics and controls you should include to assess compliance with contract provisions and SLA's.
• You need to know how to be sure your service provider operates in alignment with your corporate policies and organizational culture.
