With a long-standing customer-centric culture, Halifax prides itself in offering clients customized service level agreements (SLAs) that meet your stringent business requirements. As such, Halifax offers a variety of aggressive SLAs with same day and next day repair time commitments.

Halifax supports dozens of major clients with customized SLAs that monitor and measure our service delivery performance against expected service levels.

Overall, we have the disciplines and systems in place to monitor and measure our performance results against guaranteed service level agreements. These SLA performance metrics which can be generated for various service levels such as 4 hour, 8 hour or next business day restore times are used in conjunction with regularly scheduled performance reviews with our clients in order to monitor overall client satisfaction.

Certified Business Partner Program
Using “Subs” to perform maintenance services creates problems for many companies in our industry. If a maintenance provider does not make the commitment required to ensure consistent service levels by the people who perform the work, customers quickly realize they are not receiving the right people to maintain their equipment and subsequently go elsewhere with their business.

As a result, Halifax utilizes a business partner approach that is designed to ensure clients receive consistent high levels of service. Through Halifax’s Certified Business Partner Program, all of our partners follow the prescribed and agreed upon Halifax service call reporting policies and procedures and are considered an extension of our own internal resources. Regardless of whether the work is performed by a Halifax Customer Engineer or a Certified Business Partner, the process remains transparent to the customer. As a result, Halifax manages the service delivery process to the committed SLAs while providing the logistics and technical support required.
