Describe the supported environment
List covered users, sites, systems and devices. Identify exclusions and the process for adding new services. Equipment warranty, software licensing and support are separate items that should be clear.
Agree service hours and priorities
Define how requests are submitted, classified and escalated. State response and restoration targets explicitly where they are part of the agreement. An urgent label alone is not an agreed service commitment.
Include planned work
Record maintenance tasks, change approval, backup responsibilities and reporting. Clarify who provides administrative access and who authorises changes that affect users.
Review and renew deliberately
Keep a record of recurring incidents, recommended changes and contract dates. Review whether the scope still matches the organisation as it grows.
This guide is a planning aid. The scope and design for your environment should be agreed after discovery.
