History of the Service Level concept?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Service Level Management : One Thread

Hello everybody,

I am writing a diploma thesis about Service Level Management at Munich University and would like to find out how the concept of Service Level Management evolved. Part of it is obviously the idea of a "Service Level" - I think that this in itself must have some kind of history of research. I have found the concept of SLA mentioned as early as 1985, but nothing yet on how it actually came into existence.

Who knows something about this?

Please do not post the new address indicated by the automatic answer because that would expose me to more SPAM.

Hello Pascal, I´m a Dutch woman, working as a HR-manager, and studying for a Master degree `Organisation and Strategy` at a Dutch University.. I also will write a thesis about SLA´s and I´m wondering if I could read your thesis. My thesis will go a bit further than tte evolving of SLA´s. A great part goes about the differences between SLA´s in IT deparments and SLA´s in Human resource departments. I think there is a great difference because the HR departments are more about soft things link advice, talking etc.

Please write me back.

Thank you very much so far and don´t mind the grammatical mistakes.
