DTS Responsibilities

  • Provide this service to all DTS customers.
  • Ensure the agent is installed and configured for all devices.
  • Ensure agent / monitor is configred and reporting for all programs.

Agency Responsibilities

  • Work with DTS to create appropriate monitors for all programs.

In an effort to improve service to our customer agencies, DTS will measure and report on the following enterprise metric goals:

  • Application Availability
  • Resolution Time
  • Initial Response
  • First Contact Resolution
  • Customer Satisfaction Surveys and Reporting

Application Availability

Application availability measures DTS’s efforts to ensure that agency key business applications meet the percentage of availability goals identified in each agency’s service level agreement. DTS will determine application availability based upon the collective measurement of the configuration items (both hardware and software) that are required in order to support the agency business services applications. These metrics will be reported each month, by agency, and will be presented in a cumulative report showing DTS’s efforts over several months. These reports will then be posted on the DTS Metrics Web page at https://dts.utah.gov/metrics/index.php.

Metric Description

Target Percentage of Application Availability*
Enterprise Monitoring **99.9%

Table Notes:

*Times exclude those tickets in a “Pending” status waiting for a known bug fix.
**Since Enterprise Monitoring is a critical function within DTS, it will be added to the Near Real Time report on the dashboard as well as the application availability report. This will allow it to show up on the DTS dashboard and customer service review (CSR) reports for executive management to review.
