The Operational Level Agreement (OLA) is a crucial internal document used to establish and maintain clear service delivery standards between different departments or units within the same organization. It is particularly relevant in scenarios where internal service providers need to support other departments in meeting external customer commitments outlined in Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Under German law, while OLAs are not explicitly regulated, they must align with the German Civil Code (BGB) principles and other relevant legislation such as the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and workplace regulations. The document typically includes detailed performance metrics, service hours, response times, escalation procedures, and reporting requirements, serving as a foundation for effective internal service delivery and operational excellence.
