4 Having to rely on the Internet Due to the fact that SaaS software services are delivered over the Internet, a business has to ensure that their Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides them with an uninterrupted and high quality Internet connection. The amount of available bandwidth that ISPs have also varies depending on the time of the day. For example, during peak hours, it is a very real possibility that a business Internet connection will slow down significantly and this will obviously have an effect on the ability of a business to access their SaaS software services. To minimize Internet connection-related problems, a business should ensure that they have a high speed/high quality link in place. Businesses that use SaaS should also consider implementing a dedicated Internet connection, so that they don t have to share bandwidth with other users (of course this will require a larger budget). Finally, businesses should consider implementing a redundant Internet connection, so that if their initial connection does go down or has a problem, they will be able to continue operating until their initial link is restored. WiMax Mesh Networks Wireless mesh networks of WiMax are so far the best solution in instantaneous deployment of wireless networks. Network that includes printers, computers, servers, access points, surveillance cameras, the internet itself and so on are best configured using WiMax mesh networks.since there is no wiring needed and surveys done are not expensive, WiMax mesh networks are employed in the management of traditional wireless network systems. The architecture of mesh networks exclusive advantages are achieved. Such advantages include: - The elimination of backhaul wiring for access points like hotspots with the use of Hotpoint routers. - Setup interfaces and configurations are done without the use of special drivers hence the connection to Hotpoint router is needed. - The redundancy and highly-secured system is also employed. - The mesh network is formed automatically through Hotpoint nodes. Operations are undisrupted when the node becomes offline. 4

5 Even interrupted transmission doesn t abort any operation that is currently running. - Mesh networking solution can be operated in 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz.More so, WiMax mesh networks enable the production of high-performance wireless network equipment that is low in cost yet the services that are produced can be considered as unparalleled. This concept lets various communities and enterprises communicate without any boundary. Outdoor networking is best achieved with the deployment of WiMax mesh network since it is mainly designed for wireless internet service providers, campuses, governments, carriers, enterprise customers, military and all the systems integrators worldwide.various WiMax mesh network providers are numerous and to get connected with them, the WiMax Forum is a perfect place to spot them since WiMax Forum is responsible in leading any development in WiMax technologies and convenient installation of such technology. South African Internet Connectivity and Service Level Agreement Before we present a service level agreement recruiting sample, it is important to know first of all what a service level agreement when used for recruitment actually is. A service level agreement used for recruitment is actually a formal description of what the business expects from any candidates that will be interviewed by the personnel or hiring manager for a position within the business. A service level agreement for recruiting is important because it: -Establishes standards for professionalism that must be observed by the candidates and the recruitment staff -Helps assure that only the best candidates will be selected for the positions that are open for hiring. The components of a thorough service level agreement recruiting sample are: -A clear description of what exactly the candidate will be doing in that job position when successfully hired. -A comprehensive candidate profile that indicates the background sought in the ideal candidate. -Possible relationships the ideal candidate has prior to being hired or would eventually develop in the course of performing on the job. -A plan for going about advertising the position and contacting likely candidates for the position called a sourcing plan. -Creating a schedule for recruitment that will help keep the hiring team on track when sourcing, interviewing and hiring ideal candidates for the positions. -A policy of presenting and interviewing only those who are truly qualified for the position. -A commitment to exploring the potential of ideal candidates in a more in-depth manner, so that candidates know exactly what the job will require from them. -A commitment from the hiring manager to submit a thorough evaluation of the ideal candidates they are eyeing for the job within 24 hours from being interviewed. -A commitment to use a formal standardized process to interview and recruit candidates. -An agreement within the hiring team to limit the number of candidates to interview to just three or four at the most. With companies nowadays going global, South Africa has been struggling to compete. 5

6 Service level agreements in South Africa have been a major target of most internet service providers. A service level agreement is an agreement between an IT provider (or an internet service provider, ISP) and a customer (or an organization) that would contain the specific details of the committed service the ISP is going to provide. Many service providers today are competing with each other in terms of connectivity in South Africa.Since areas of South Africa have yet to be connected, ISPs have been harnessing the combination of some or all of the power of satellite, cell phone, and fiber optics. This would ensure African companies that they have continuous connectivity no matter what type of weather it is. Some companies even offer premiums such as additional free hours for every service interruptions in their service level agreements for South Africa.Most service level agreements for South Africa involve the performance, repair and upgrade of the network, response time of customer service, web hosting, web security. This is not to say that customers (or organizations) no longer have obligations to the service provider. The customers are expected to also provide the service provider with the information related to the service they are requiring, creation and procurement of the proper equipment needed for the service, payment updates and the like.service level agreements in South Africa are basically just the same as any other SLAs. It is the service providers who make the agreements more tempting so that customers will sign up for their service. In 2006, South Africa s 49 million population only had a 10% internet connection. But this is still a significant increase because they only had a 5.5% web connection in 2000) This is a sure sign that service level agreements in South Africa will continue to be sweeter and sweeter as the market grows.
