Who Will Benefit From This Course

The target audience for this course is those personnel responsible for setting up service level agreements and related records within IBM Maximo. It is assumed that participants will understand basic concepts of commitments and escalations in a work/service environment. However, we will review some concepts as necessary to better teach SLA development in IBM Maximo.
