A service level agreement (SLA) is a contract between a business and its customer

outlining the details that the two parties have agreed to in a transaction.
The types of SLAs that an organization can use depends on many significant aspects.

While some are targeted at individual customer groups, others discuss issues
relevant to entire companies.
This is because the needs of one user differ from those of another. Below is a list
of the types of SLAs used by businesses today,
and how each one is utilized for specific situations:

################
Customer-based SLA
################

This type of agreement is used for individual customers and comprises all relevant
services that a client may need, while leveraging only one contract.
It contains details regarding the type and quality of service that has been agreed
upon. For example, a telecommunication service includes voice calls,
messaging and internet services, but that all exists under a single contract.

################
Service-based SLA
################

This SLA is a contract that includes one identical type of service for all of its
customers. Because the service is limited to one unchanging standard,
it is more straightforward and convenient for vendors. For example, using a
service-based agreement regarding an IT helpdesk would mean that the same service
is valid for all end-users that sign the service-based SLA.

################
Multi-level SLA
################

This agreement is customized according to the needs of the end-user company. It


allows the user to integrate several conditions into the same system to create
a more suitable service. It addresses contracts at the following levels:

Corporate level:

This SLA does not require frequent updates since its issues are typically
unchanging. It includes a comprehensive discussion of all the relevant aspects of
the
agreement, and is applicable to all customers in the end-user organization.

Customer level:

This contract discusses all service issues that are associated with a specific
group of customers. However, it does not take into consideration the type of user
services.

An example of this is when an organization requests that the security level in one
of its departments is strengthened. In this situation, the entire company is
secured by one security agency but requires that one of its customers in the
company is more secure for certain reasons.

Service level:
In this agreement, all aspects that are attributed to a particular service with
regard to a customer group are included.
