Nothing is worse than believing you are buying something and then not getting what you thought you paid for. We are laser-focused on delivering on what we say we are going to do. This starts with a culture of doing what we say we are going to do and backing that up with the systems, process, and resources to ensure that we deliver on our promises.
Having a written service delivery agreement outlining what will be done, when it will done, and by whom is essential in making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Below is a sample of our Service Delivery Agreement.
