Service Level Management provides tiered control to define and monitor performance for all service level commitments. Easily document service level agreements (SLAs), operational level agreements (OLAs), and underpinning contract (UC) definitions based on your requirements.

ServiceNow automates, centralizes, and provides integration between Service Level Management and other core processes such as Incident, Request, and Change, reducing the number of “touches” for agents and administrators to manage and monitor tasks.

Deliver service consistently to reduce SLA breaches and improve customer satisfaction. Configurable workflows determine what activities occur in response to an SLA. 

For example, a running SLA can perform actions at specified times, such as notifying an assignee about a task to prevent a breach, or informing a supervisor if an SLA is about to breach or has expired to trigger an escalation.

Gain detailed insight into task progress and proactively manage at‑risk SLAs. The SLA Timeline is a powerful visualization that allows service level managers to see all SLAs associated with a related task and easily understand how an SLA evolved and which task events triggered SLA stage changes.

Service providers can view details such as the stage a task SLA is in and if it has breached. In addition, providers can get an overview of the timings for a task SLA such as the actual and business elapsed time and percentage, and the actual and business time left in days and hours.

Elevate the user experience with automatic request and incident status notification. SLM makes it easy for service level managers to specify the schedule, timings, conditions, workflows, and other information required to meet agreements.

Service level expectations and real‑time status updates are available to service providers and consumers to provide transparency into service level performance.

Get real‑time transparency into operations with configurable, role‑based dashboards. Built‑in metrics and surveys measure service levels and drive continual service improvement.
