A CEO in Berkeley reviewed his company’s IT support contract and felt good about what he saw: “Response within 30 minutes for critical issues, resolution within 4 hours for high-priority tickets, 95% first-call resolution rate.” These service level agreements looked solid on paper, negotiated carefully before signing the contract.
