MULTI SUPPLIER INTEGRATION (MSI)
INTRODUCING SIAM
IS SIAM DIFFERENT TO ITIL?
TYPICAL SIAM CANDIDATE
SIAM JOURNEY
SIAM BENEFITS
HOW TO GET STARTED
Multi Supplier Integration (MSI) is mainstream and growing…
Multi-Supplier Integration (MSI) has major benefits…
Organisations can
leverage “best-ofbreed” capability
Maximise capability
by having the right
sourcing at the right
time
Operational costs and risks
shared with suppliers
Flexibility to scale up /
scale down where required
Allows internal IT to
focus on core
business
Reduced costs
through leveraging
supplier economies
of scale
However, the MSI model has significant challenges

Challenges

Challenges
Operational
Challenges
•
Aligning strategic vendor behaviours to achieve required business outcomes
•
Each tower is cost-effective, but overall value/ROI is unclear/poor
•
Security of data and services across multiple providers is difficult to manage
•
Conflicting cultures, operating models, SLA’s across providers
•
Non-collaborative and/or silo-type behaviours
•
One underperforming vendor becomes a “single point of failure”
•
Boundary issues – responsibilities “falling through cracks” with handoff problems
•
Lack of accountability for group behaviour
•
Client does not cover approach to vendor integration in sourcing strategy or RFPs
•
Lack of visibility of end-to-end (E2E) performance
•
Recurring problems along with incident ownership and buck-passing issues
•
Each provider meets service levels but end users dissatisfied
•
Client underinvests in having the right level of vendor management in place
Organisations are seeking a real solution…
• A multi-sourced solution that delivers a singular, consistent, and
highly usable customer experience
• Reduced costs of IT overheads for managing multiple suppliers
• A single source of the truth when working with multiple suppliers
• Flexible IT services which are in lockstep with business priorities
• Reduced exposure to risk and compliance issues
Introducing SIAM
“Service Integration and Management
(SIAM) lets an organisation manage the
service providers in a consistent and
efficient way”
It ensures that performance across a
portfolio of multi-sourced services meets
business needs
Is SIAM different to ITIL?
• SIAM is an extension to ITIL
• It takes many of the concepts within ITIL (eg. Supplier
Management, Service Level Management, etc.) and
applied then to managing a multi-sourced environment
• Currently there is no best practice framework dedicated
to SIAM
• Via Google you can find lots of white papers
• Via Linked In you can see lots of discussions
Why SIAM?
• A superb customer
experience

SIAM Options
Internal Multi Supplier
Integration (MSI)
“Do It Yourself”
• Control is maintained and the internal BU is an independent agent
• Internal BU is unlikely to have the internal skills to be effective long term
• Heavy investment required in internal skills and toolsets
External MSI for
Contract Management
• Some administrative burdens are passed on
• Internal BU still manages day-to-day supplier relationships making cost savings
difficult to achieve
• Provider has no real control and is unable to meet client and supplier needs
External MSI for
Service Management
Complete External MSI
• Provider has experience, methods and toolsets
• Provider can play off suppliers as they are not responsible for the customer
experience
• Provider has experience, methods and toolsets and has “skin in the game”
• Provider has a one-stop shop for customer experience (Self-service & Service Desk)
• If badly managed, internal providers can feel a loss of overall control
Critical Success Factors for SIAM
Strong Governance
End User Experience
Business Transformation
(OCM)
“One way, Same way”
Processes
Consolidated and Integrated
Toolsets
•
An agreed operating model within the organisation, SIAM provider, and service towers
•
Each area clearly understands roles/responsibilities and escalation points
•
A deeply embedded culture of customer care and focus
•
The SIAM provider understands customer business priorities, challenges, and
opportunities
•
A strong emphasis is placed on Organisational Change Management during transition
•
A continual pulse check is put in place to continually align to new ways of working
•
All IT staff, regardless of their location understand and follow one set of ITSM processes
•
Process roles and responsibilities are clear, with escalation points within the SIAM
function
•
Where possible the organisation, SIAM provider, and Service towers use the same tools
•
Any tool integrations are predicated on maintaining customer experience consistency
