SIAM (Service Integration and Management) aims to maximize the performance of end-to-end services in a cost-effective manner by covering the complete lifecycle of services and being recognized by all stakeholders. There are different models for integrating SIAM with service level management. Implementing SIAM successfully requires having a consistent shared vision, robust program delivery, a CSI culture, and business relationship management including service design packages. Service design packages contain requirements, designs, plans, and acceptance criteria for services. SIAM sets overall service SLAs to be achieved by the SIAM provider and suppliers. SIAM may challenge traditional SLM and portfolio management by changing risk balances and responsibilities while adopting good supplier management practices.
Service integration and management (SIAM) is a management methodology that can be applied in an environment that includes services sourced from a number of service providers.
Why you really need a SIAM tooling strategy Steve Morgan

ITIL SIAM - Service Integration and Management ModelPeteFeehan
油
This document provides an example model for effective Service Integration and Management (SIAM) based on a model that has been used in the UK public sector since 2003. The model breaks SIAM down into components such as SIAM design, service catalogue and portfolio management, toolset integration, and multi-supplier coordination. It describes each component and the processes involved. The goal of the model is to provide a single point of visibility and control for IT services delivered by multiple suppliers through coordination, integration, assurance of suppliers' performance, and ensuring services meet business needs. Adopting this model requires changes to how the business, suppliers, and SIAM provider work.
SIAM stands for Service Integration and Management. It is a sourcing strategy that coordinates people, processes, tools, data and governance across multiple IT suppliers to deliver value to customers. The document discusses why organizations implement SIAM, provides examples of real-world SIAM implementations, and outlines challenges and the future of SIAM. It also describes how SIAM can support digital transformation and enable enterprise agility through fundamental business changes.
The document discusses the Service Integration and Management (SIAM) model for ICT organizations. It outlines that the SIAM model aims to provide cost-effective and agile ICT services through coordinating various "tower" suppliers that provide different functional services. The key role of the SIAM supplier is to deliver a single interface and coherent end-to-end services by integrating and managing services across tower suppliers. However, transitioning to the SIAM model from existing outsourcing arrangements poses major challenges, such as operating a mixed environment during the transition and ensuring continuous service. Effective tools that provide integrated monitoring across suppliers and a common suite of processes are critical to enable successful transition and flexibility within the SIAM model.
In this slide deck, Kevin Holland introduces SIAM (Service Integration and Management), covering its key features and benefits, and how it complements ITIL.
This document discusses service integration and management (SIAM) in multisourced IT operating models. SIAM ensures that technology services from multiple internal and external teams are delivered seamlessly. It specifies service management processes across the enterprise to maximize performance of end-to-end IT services cost-effectively. SIAM acts as the central point of control between demand and supply, coordinating roles and processes to avoid issues falling through the cracks. Without effective SIAM, the benefits of multisourcing can be rapidly undone due to a lack of integration and governance.

This document discusses Agile Service Integration and Management (SIAM). It describes SIAM as a framework for managing multiple IT service providers in a consistent and efficient way to meet user needs. The document outlines four dimensions of enterprise agility - portfolio strategy alignment, dealing with size and complexity, collaboration throughout the lifecycle, and integrating external parties. It then discusses drivers for SIAM including delivery speed, cost reduction, and focus on innovation. Finally, it proposes an Agile approach to implementing SIAM through sprints focused on establishing agreements, processes, and behaviors and continually improving through experimentation.
The document discusses challenges in implementing Service Integration and Management (SIAM) including lack of transparency, poor contract negotiation position, and difficulty measuring performance. It then outlines Software AG's proven methodology for implementing SIAM, which involves analyzing the current state, designing the target state, and establishing governance processes. The methodology includes steps like defining business capabilities and services, mapping applications, analyzing costs and contracts, and prioritizing project portfolios.

The document discusses Service Integration and Management (SIAM) and lessons learned from implementing SIAM models. It defines SIAM as managing IT service delivery when using multiple suppliers instead of a single supplier. Reasons for adopting a SIAM include achieving efficiencies through commodity procurement at scale and meeting demands for better, quicker, cheaper services. The SIAM integrates separate "tower" suppliers into a single service and acts as the single point of contact, implementing ITIL and managing performance against service levels. Lessons include creating the SIAM function before other towers, ensuring open dialogue between stakeholders, and having a clear and robust IT service management toolset.
This document presents an example model for Service Integration and Management (SIAM) based on ITIL best practices. It defines SIAM as an approach to manage and coordinate services from multiple providers. The model has several key components, including core SIAM capabilities, business relationship management, and operational components. It also provides examples of how common ITIL processes could be adapted for a SIAM approach, such as having a SIAM process owner and integrating change management. The overall model is intended to help organizations design and implement an effective SIAM approach for managing services from multiple external providers.

How to build and operate an effective IT tooling strategy in a SIAM operating...Steve Morgan
油
When operating within an outsourced multi-vendor / Service Integration & Management (SIAM) operating model it is important to have an effective IT tooling strategy.
The document discusses the evolution of service management from simple IT outsourcing to complex multi-tower outsourcing models. It notes that while outsourcing complexity has increased, so too have the challenges of managing performance, costs, suppliers, and meeting business needs. The document proposes that a well-implemented service integration framework can address these shortfalls by integrating discrete IT services into coherent end-to-end services. It emphasizes that such a framework requires experience, industrialization, and collaboration, with a focus on people, processes, and technology. The goal is to deliver multi-sourced IT elements as a single, reliable, and cost-effective service that meets business and customer needs.

TeamProsource @ ITSMF 2010 - CMMI for services what about ITIL by Gert LeroyTeamProsource
油
This document discusses the relationships between CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). It explains that CMMI-SVC and ITIL have many commonalities in their processes and goals for managing and delivering services, but that CMMI-SVC focuses more on institutionalizing processes through maturity levels while ITIL focuses more on specific practices and processes. The document argues that CMMI-SVC and ITIL can be used complementarily, with CMMI-SVC helping to support long-term improvements and institutionalization of an ITIL implementation.
- The document discusses service design thinking and the service development cycle. It outlines a process with six phases: preliminary phase, requirements, vision, organizational structures, process framework, and service features.

Editor's Notes
#5: SIMON
An effective SIAM function maximizes the performance of end-to-end services to the business in the most cost-effective manner.
A SIAM framework needs to cover the complete lifecycle of services and is recognized by all stakeholders, representing both service supply and service demand. A SIAM structure relies on a set of working practices with clear bounds of responsibility.
#8: TONY
Business forecast demand
SIAM Aggregates demand from separate businesses within the organisation
SIAM translates the business activity forecasts and disaggregates the information, giving each service provider the necessary information for its capacity planning
Service providers plan their activity to address the business demand, providing SIAM with their capacity planning
SIAM assures the plans and communicates the end-to-end enterprise capacity plan to the client
Coordination role is pivotal in all Service delivery processes, eg, the delivery of new cross supplier services, the resolution of incidents, affecting service across multiple suppliers, and coordinated disaster recovery.
#11: TONY
ROLE OF SIAM: Role of SIAM often is misunderstood, leading to mismatched expectations among the client, the SIAM provider and the other service providers and businesses. Where everyone is expecting someone else to manage or resource delivery of tasks, the momentum required for successful and timely delivery is lost.
In some instances an organization will appoint a SIAM provider contractually but then fail to empower the provider as the agent, allowing for businesses and providers to bypass SIAM as the central control point described in Figure 1. If the SIAM provider is unable to perform that role, the organization loses confidence in the SIAM function and increasingly bypasses SIAM; thus, the organization spirals away from its target operating model. Contracts or agreements with other service providers must therefore include clearly defined service integration responsibilities.
#12: SIMON
PEOPLE:
Culture implementation often accompanied by people transfer
Responsibilities changes to responsibility and accountability across organisations and people
Resistance to Change?
Drive the right behaviour
#13: SIMON
Process:
Compliance internal suppliers comply e.g. in-house, tower providers
Non-compliance external services may not e.g. PaaS
End to end process integration
#14: SIMON
Technology:
Master SM tool not used by all?
Interfaces introduce potential for delay
Challenge to manage SLAs/OLAs and overall perfromance
Reporting Challenge across multiple systems
Transparency Challenges
#17: TONY
1. A consistent, shared vision, including:
A target operating model that considers the impact across all parties, embodied by:
Consistent cross-provider service management processes
Contracts and service levels with each provider that support the role of SIAM and cooperative working practices across providers
Effective governance forums, processes and controls that enable the client to manage risk, exercise appropriate control and provide direction to the providers
A business change lifecycle which ensures the early consideration of how a new service integrates with existing services
A consistent understanding of the roles of the parties through communication and education
The empowerment of SIAM by the client, with a zero-tolerance policy to non-adherence to the model and processes, ensuring that service providers interface with, and support SIAM appropriately
Buy-in from the businesses through education on the benefits and their engagement throughout the life cycle
#18: TONY
2. A robust program and project structure, including:
A clearly defined target with key deliverables and acceptance criteria set at the start, including the documentation of and widespread adherence to SIAM processes
Appropriately skilled and incentivized joint teams made up of individuals from all parties, including project and program management skills, SIAM process experts, business representatives and operational leads with accountability for the future state processes
#19: TONY
3. A continuous service improvement culture, characterized by:
A delivery approach based on the evolution of existing service management processes and the delivery of early benefits, and perpetuation of benefits beyond the initial establishment of the SIAM function
