ABSTRACT

For the successful IT operation outsourcing, there need appropriate metrics on which both of the service clients and provider agree. The metrics are used to set up the service level objectives, which are manifested in the service level agreement with price. A study of metrics is necessary for the following reasons: First, most of the metrics used today were introduced in the early years of computers and are not satisfactory to both of the service providers and clients. Second, metrics represent the performance of system components but not end-user satisfaction. Third, because the service provider leads the outsourcing agreement, the objectives are specified more favorable to the provider. The objectives should be based on metrics that both sides fully understand and agree on.
