  • terminology: it was adapted and harmonized. Sites are now referred as Resource Centers (RCs).

Service Level Availability is replaced by Operational Level Agreement in compliance with ITIL.
  • responsibilities: the Resource Centre Operations Manager role was introduced to define the Resource Centre contact responsible of accepting the OLA and of making sure it is endorsed by the Resource Centre.
