Key Takeaways
* SLA (Service Level Agreement) promises a response time but does not guarantee problem resolution or immediate work on the issue.
* Kirkham Irontech uses a triage method to prioritize IT support tickets based on their impact on the organization, number of users, and productivity.
* The triage method ensures that more serious issues are addressed first, while less critical issues are handled later, prioritizing urgent problems.
* Triage is essential for managed security services, where response times must be much faster than a typical 4-hour SLA.
* Kirkham Irontech prioritizes security over IT, making the triage method even more effective.
* Businesses should question IT providers about their triage process and whether they triage before or after meeting SLA requirements.
* Starting with triage is more effective than focusing on SLA, as it ensures that serious issues are addressed immediately.
* Triage is considered a best practice for IT support and security management, as it allows for a more responsive and effective approach.
* Managed security service providers should prioritize security over other IT services, and businesses should be cautious of providers that focus too much on SLA.
