When SIaM is Not Working
Steve.Ingall@icore-ltd.com

Who am I / Why am I here?
•  Steve Ingall, Head of Business Services for iCore Ltd
•  Service Management Practitioner for 30+ years
•  Working in SIaM for 30+ years
•  ITIL / COBIT Qualified
•  Worked with a multitude of organisations who:
–  Aspire for SIaM
–  Hate SIaM
–  Had no idea about SIaM
–  Want to visit SIaM
–  Did SIaM and just didn’t know it
•  Recently ran the iCore Masterclass on SIaM
theitsmreview.com

What am I going to talk about?
•  So much misunderstanding about SIaM
•  What I think this looks like
•  When it goes wrong
•  Understanding what went wrong
•  Putting it right
theitsmreview.com

SIaM – What it is and what it isn’t
theitsmreview.com
Service Integration and Management is a cross-functional Service
Management organisation that has an overarching responsibility to
control and ensure that the Providers work in unison to meet the IT
service levels agreed with the Business.
It isn’t
•  Service Integration is the process of linking together and orchestrating
different component services and capabilities so as to provide your
Business with an end-to-end service that delivers value.
•  Systems Integration is the process of linking together different
computing systems and software applications physically or functionally,
to act as a coordinated whole.

A SIaM Model
theitsmreview.com

Hyped3!
theitsmreview.com
•  It’s a new thing
•  ITIL is the guarantee
•  It must include the Service Desk
•  Managing Agent doesn’t work
•  It’s about outsourcing the admin stuff
•  It’s system integration under another name
•  If we call the Providers ‘The Ecosystem’ we’ve cracked it
•  Everyone needs to use our tool
•  KPIs can have teeth
•  The existing in-house team will understand and adapt
•  Once you are in, you can’t get out

When we get it wrong!
theitsmreview.com
•  Releases are made into ‘Live’ without passing testing and transition accreditation
•  IT Services are in use that are not fully understood and are not capable of meeting
the required SLA. There is a lack of understanding of the interdependencies between
service components, resulting in poor impact and risk assessment
•  IT Services do not have sufficient controls in place to assess performance and
service reviews are fraught and ineffective
•  Suppliers become competitive and deliberately non-cooperative
•  No understanding of the relationships between business processes, business
services and technical services, resulting in failure to meet required business
outcomes which lowers customer satisfaction
•  Confused points of contact for IT users which often mean issues are not properly
addressed and users are frustrated
•  Business Units start to develop direct relationships with suppliers, causing the IT
organisation to have reduced visibility of workloads and changes
•  Processes appear complicated and cumbersome leading to extended delivery
timescales, lack of control, and duplicated efforts when businesses request additional
services that have been designed in silos

SIaM Readiness
theitsmreview.com
What is the purpose of a SIaM readiness assessment?
§  A SIaM readiness assessment is a quantitative measurement of an organisation’s readiness for
going to a SIaM Model (or similar organizational changes).
§  The assessment is used to identify the critical activities that are in place and those that need to
be put in place before moving to a SIaM model.
SIaM readiness gains a clear understanding of organisational, leadership, business & IT readiness at a single point of time
to help identify key barriers and enablers to implementation success

SIaM Assessment
theitsmreview.com
•  Where are you now?
•  Where do you want to be?
•  How do you get there?
•  Who?
•  When?

How to build a
SIAM practice
Steve Morgan, Syniad IT Solutions

SERVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO DELIVER I.T. EXCELLENCE

Welcome!
•  Today, we will work collaboratively to build a conceptual SIAM
practice
•  We will explore the pre-implementation considerations, design
features, risk factors and business outcomes desired in a typical
SIAM model
•  For ease of reference, we will break up the task into bite-size
chunks
•  But first, a short introduction to SIAM
theitsmreview.comwww.bcs.org

What is SIAM?
“SIAM is primarily the management function that co-ordinates the people,
processes, and tools across multiple Service Providers, both internal and
external, to manage the seamless delivery of end-to-end, operational IT
services to our customers.”
•  Typically adopted by organisations with a multi-supplier strategy
•  Generally a key part in a new or changed IT Operating Model
•  SIAM can be sourced as a service tower, or retained in-house
•  SIAM relies upon an effective governance framework to bring together
all parties, to work in an eco-system
•  SIAM programmes encompass people, processes, tools, governance,
and critically, cultural change too

Background & Introduction
•  Growth in multi-sourced
contracts
•  Public sector lead the way in
adoption of SIAM models
•  Now becoming more
widespread in the private
sector
•  Multitude of models makes it
difficult to define “standards”
and templated approaches

Our task
Scenario
Your IT department has been outsourced to a single vendor for the
last 5 years. A recent sourcing strategy project has recommended
the implementation of a SIAM model
•  A high level target operating model has been developed
•  Staff morale is low, and rumours of SIAM being introduced have
caused some staff to leave
•  Your existing ITSM tool is Remedy v6, a high customised version,
unique to your organisation
You must answer a number of key questions, firstly :
Should the SIAM function be outsourced or retained?
theitsmreview.com

SIAM Sourcing Considerations
PROS CONS
•  SIAM service provider might be
better at doing it than you.
•  Not a core competence – delegate
it
•  More levers with an external
provider
•  Injection of new blood / skills
•  Bridge skills gaps in a flexible way
•  Innovation / new technologies
•  New business models, inject
maturity
•  Fresh perspectives
•  New business perspective
•  Single point of contact
•  Can’t outsource problems
•  Retain it, learn then explore later
•  Workforce disruption
•  Cost
•  Comfortable pair of slippers – if it
ain’t broke etc.
•  Lose business perspective
•  Lose control if IT Strategy
•  Risk of outsourcing knowledge

People, culture and behaviour
•  What are the key activities likely
to be in this workstream?
–  Organisation Design

theitsmreview.com
•  Communications plan / briefings on on-going
process not just at the start
•  Skills audit / RACI

transitioning to brand new roles
•  Retain vision / strategy – don’t lose focus whilst
navel gazing / introspection
•  Shared vision / long term goals

Process

Process
•  We’ll need to build a process model to support our Operating
Model. What sources could be use to help us deliver this?
•  The process model will need to help us identify the scope of SIAM
and who does what in the SIAM eco-system
•  We should not only consider the processes themselves, but how
the processes, and the services delivered by the eco-system
partners are governed
•  What challenges are we likely to encounter?
•  What potential transition approaches from “as-is” to “to-be”?
•  What industry process models and frameworks could we use?
theitsmreview.com

Tooling
•  What would be our recommendation for our aged Remedy
system, and why?
•  What other tools should we consider?
•  What are the general tooling issues we should consider?
•  What tooling challenges are we likely to encounter in each of
these tooling categories?

Myths & challenges of SIAM
•  MYTHS:
–  It solves all your problems!
–  You don’t have to know what you want
–  It solves all your supplier contract issues!
•  CHALLENGES
–  There is no single definition of SIAM
–  There’s a difference between cross functional operations and
thought leadership
•  Some providers excel at managing your cross functional
operations
•  Some providers excel at providing thought leadership
•  Difficult to find providers who are good at both! So you have
to choose

How To Sell To Senior
Management
vawns.murphy@itassetmanagement.net

Some thoughts to get us started
•  What is SIAM?
•  Why do I need it?
•  What are the benefits?
•  What does SIAM look like?
theitsmreview.com#SIAMskillswww.bcs.org

What is SIAM?
•  Service Integration and Management (SIAM) is a framework for
managing multiple suppliers of information technology services and
integrating them to provide a single business-facing IT organisation.
•  SIAM is an adaptation of ITIL that focuses on the delivery of key
services by multiple suppliers in a way that appears seamless to the
rest of the business.
theitsmreview.com

Why do I need it?
•  Quick show of hands
•  What do we support?
•  When do we support it?
•  Who supports it?
theitsmreview.com

Leading to this!
theitsmreview.com

What does SIAM look like?
•  Start with the people!
•  Manages multiple suppliers to give the magic formula of innovation
and consistent service.
•  Accountable for the integrated services that are being delivered
back to the business.
•  Specifies IT service management processes and procedures to be
deployed across the enterprise and ensure they are followed.
•  Acts as the central point of control between IT demand and IT
supply.
•  Plays a pivotal coordinating role in all service management
processes.
theitsmreview.com

What happens if we don’t put
the people first!
theitsmreview.com

So what are the benefits?
•  A single point of contact, ownership & control for IT Services.
•  Clearly defined roles & responsibilities
•  Optimised cost of services
•  Streamlined management of IT services
•  Increased customer satisfaction
•  Consistently applied processes
•  A more transparent IT landscape
theitsmreview.com

Now lets get to work!
theitsmreview.com

Scenario
Your mission should you choose to accept it:
What’s the first thing you do in establishing a SIAM practice?
What would you put in the business case?
What does good look like? How do we build in CSI?
theitsmreview.com

First thing to do?
•  What outcome does SIAM deliver
•  Problem Statement / Opportunity
•  Take stock (People, Process, Data)
•  Stick the kettle on!
•  Agile approach
–  Discovery, where are we
–  What does SIAM bring / gap analysis / do we need to bridge gap?
•  What is the scope
•  What is our model (insource, outsource, hybrid)
•  How will all of this support business outcomes?
•  Aligned to future vision / goals of company
•  Who, what, where, when
•  Executive steering group, speak to experts, identify needs / service catalogue
•  Build cross-functional team / begin to make business case (Savings £, Efficiency)
•  Develop KPI to measure success
•  Feasibility / Cost options / risks
theitsmreview.com

Business Case
•  KISS
•  One page, lots of pictures
•  ROI, Time to value
•  Quality factors up
•  Risk factors down (what are risks of new model, how to mitigate. Roll back plan?)
•  Market share, profitability,
•  Closer alignment to business vision
•  Engagement with stakeholders
•  Customer / Stakeholder engagement
•  Responsiveness, quality, cost
•  Competitive Advantage
•  Why SIAM is better than anything we are doing now?
•  What is the business pain that will be resolved (inefficiencies, more value, what we do well and how to improve on that,
improving reputation)
•  Desired state, critical success factors,
•  Choices
–  Do nothing, insource, outsource, risk of doing nothing (including transition costs)
•  Level of business case appropriate to the audience (e.g. Board, CFO, Service owner – different pitches)
•  What are IT requirements / business requirements - might be different
•  Can we help the business grow, become more profitable
•  We have to maintain service
•  Board level visibility of services and governance thereof
•  Availability – measured and quantified
•  KEEP IT REAL / DOWN TO EARTH / REALISTIC
•  Prioritize investment
• 
theitsmreview.com

How do we measure success?
CSI Plan?
•  Communicating - where are we in the journey. Use a maturity model to measure progress.
Maturity model needs to be replicable to assess along the journey.
•  CSI is the first process – from within and always. Stay focussed.
•  How do we know we’ve got there - Move from hand holding to leadership
•  Customer centric – therefore agree metrics that work for them and measure accordingly
•  Speed, availability and new innovation
•  CSF agreed, KPIS, meets needs of business, reacts to business needs as required.
•  Responds to industry legislation
•  Delivers to budget
•  Meaningful reporting including customer satisfaction
•  SMILING CUSTOMERS
•  Objective measure vs. Subjective feedback
•  Concise measures, aligned reporting to delivery against business case
•  Success needs to be translated per audience (benefits assigned to stakeholders)
