SIAM Strategy and Design
What Is Service Integration and Management (SIAM)?
Most IT organisations rely on a complex mixture of internal and external parties to deliver IT services. IT management needs to fully understand, measure, manage and control all aspects of services to enable effective delivery. Service Integration and Management (SIAM) is a framework that supports IT with integration, performance management, reporting, and collaboration across all parties.
SIAM stands for Service Integration and Management. It is an approach used by organisations to manage multiple service providers and ensure cohesive and integrated delivery of IT services to meet business needs. SIAM aims to provide a structured framework that enables organisations to effectively integrate, manage, and coordinate services from various internal and external service providers.
