EM7's Service Level Management provides performance monitoring, diagnostics, tools and reporting to help keep business-critical applications up and running and improve the level and quality of service provided to your internal and external customers.

For Service Providers, service level agreements are at the core of your business. The financial impact of not being able to provide the highest level of system availability and service is immediate and measurable - in SLA refunds and the loss of customers.

For corporate and government IT departments, service levels are also important. Business-critical applications like email or CRM and growing compliance requirements have increased the visibility of (and demands on) IT performance. Far more than just performance reporting and measurement, a service level management solution must now include tools that enable proactive management; instead of just telling IT staff that the email server is down, EM7 helps get the server back up and running with minimum downtime or, even better, solves the problem before users are even aware of it.
