Abstract

A system and method for generating a service level agreement template are disclosed. The template enables deployment of resources to support a number of SLAs and associated VPNs. The SLA template (12) may include a first graphical user interface template that specifies a GUI (22) for use by a customer services representative when accepting a service request or order from a customer. The template (12) may further include a number of SLA defaults, which may consist of default values and software program code logic. The SLA defaultaenables an SLA GUI (14) to be configured such that a relatively small amount of information can be collected and used to derive other necessary configuration data. A second GUI template (18) may include a number of VPN constrains (20) on the network over which the services described in the SLA are provided.
