Modularizing Commitments Sample Clauses

Modularizing Commitments. To achieve mass customization in service agreements, sections of service descriptions are reused, interchanged and therefore modularized. Simply reusing just any text section however would have no advantages to standardize the service provisioning and operation. Adapting the characteristics of modularity to the description of service agreements, commitments need to be distinct, self-contained and loosely coupled with each other, while their relationship has to be clearly defined (Wolters, 2002). Each selection, interchange or addition of a commitment shall ensure a specific value at the customers business. ITIL identifies two primary elements to create permanent value (OGC, 2007a, p.17): for one, utility as the right functions for the right user; for another, warranty as the right performance at the right time. A self-contained value-oriented commitment therefore needs to specify more than just functionality: non-functional properties like the availability, quality, service transfer point and obligations on cooperation also need to be set to complete the commitment (X'Xxxxxxxx et al., 2002; Xxxxx et al., 2003). To transfer the model of modularity to service agreements, we therefore define a commitment as a self-contained, distinct module that contains the definition of a specific functionality and output, the obligation to cooperate to enable it, its transfer point and the quality values to be kept for this functionality. The service agreement that defines an IT-service consists of a number of commitments. As an example, the commitment “Login” in figure 4 would commit the possibility to log into a specific portal within two seconds if the user does not miswrite the password. Sectional variants of an IT-service differ in optionality or inclusion of commitments. Relations between the commitments like conflicts, swapping dependencies and interdependencies are defined to allow configurability. This can be implemented through dependency graphs like those introduced by Xxxxxxxx (1998).
