David, The key to the solution lies not in books, but in metrics. (See my article http://www.nextslm.org/sturm1.html) The key to establishing an SLA for a non-IT environment is knowing what metrics to use and how to measure them. It is the measurement that will normally pose the greatest challenge in the non-IT, non-instrumented world. You may be faced with having to create some sort of manual process for capturing the necessary data. Contact me directly if you'd like to discuss further.Rick Sturm
