Automated Service Reporting
Service Visualization brings with it the ability to implement automated real-time and historical service and availability reporting.
Organizations often have limited in-house developed solutions for reporting. These solutions tend to leverage data drawn after-the-fact from their ITSM tools, using spreadsheet-based outputs.
It can take around five working days to produce monthly service availability reports. This usually involves significant manual effort and a time-lag.

Automated Service Reporting Capabilities
Automatically track downtime, outages and percentage availability in both real-time and historically for any service modelled customer, business or IT service - down to technology configuration item (CI) level.
Associate service hours, holidays, planned outages, and SLA tracking criteria with service models at any level in the hierarchy are provided.
Early warning before operational targets or SLAs are breached is supported. True train of thought ‘What level of service did we provide for customers of Service ABC last month?’ reporting is supported.
The following service facts are automatically calculated and stored for each service and sub-service, based on the service model’s resident on the Interlink Software Service Visualization tool:
- Mean Time to Repair - MTTR
- Mean Time Between Service Incidents - MTBSI
- Mean Time Before Failure - MTBF
- Percentage Availability
- Time Unavailable
- Incident Period Length
- Number of Incidents
- Longest Outage
- SLA Status (Pass, Fail)
The ability to define customer specific tracking criteria and logic to be inserted into service reports and calculations is also supported.
