Tech Services – Service Level Agreement
These are our simple English details for what you can expect from our technical services. The suits sometimes call this a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
By using our service, you agree to the following:
Planning
- Work may be delivered over real-time or messaging apps, email, and accepted file formats (see File Sharing)
- When coming up with plan, we may identify tasks that are better for other people like copywriting, graphics design, course content, sales calls, or others
Set Ups
- We will test on desktop, tablet, and handheld mobile view
- We may not be able to create/edit/fix content text that requires industry knowledge and skills
Maintenance
- Some maintenance may happen throughout your business hours
- Some maintenance may include work that temporarily makes your systems unavailable
Troubleshooting
- Fixes can be submitted by email or web form
- Fixes may take a few minutes to a few days or weeks depending on the complexity. In some cases, we may work with system vendors to solve the problem
- We limit our enhancements by tier, so once you reach your limit, we need to finish one to start a new one
Enhancements
- Enhancements are new features, changes, or capabilities
- Can be made to production site or to test sites
- We try to find the balance between testing and delivery time, sometimes additional testing is required
- Tiers limit the number of new enhancements
- Tiers may limit releasing new enhancements using a “sprint” release schedule (like every 2 weeks)
Analysis
- Audits issue grading may vary with test or between testers
- Our content audits focus on what generic students, prospects think and may find problematic
- Our tech audits help you identify configurations issues and recommended settings for the majority
Optimizations
- Some optimizations may require a full analysis
- Different approaches for optimizations may impact time, benefits, costs
- Some optimizations may require paying for different vendors or higher-tiered 3rd party plans
