Purpose

The Key Performance Indicators Report provides a summary at-a-glance of how OCCS is performing against select operational and service indicators. The indicators are purposely discriminating and present a quick but balanced overview of office operation toward organizational goals. OCCS reports these results in its effort to improve accountability for continually maintaining and improving its services.

Data Sources

The information reported comes from a number of data sources, including server logs and reports, account request data, entries from the customer problem report tracking system "Footprints, budgetary allocation data and other verifiable records.
The metrics are updated monthly on the fifth business day and reflect the previous month's performance.
