Does ITIL® Cater Specifically to
Managing Multiple Suppliers?
709/03/2015 10:32 am - itsmf 2015 - service integration.pptx
Not specifically -
Only a few small sections specific to multi-vendor situation (e.g. Service
Strategy - “3.7.3. Multi-Vendor Sourcing”)
The rest of ITIL apply generally to both multi-vendor or non multi-
vendor environments.

Service Integration and Management
- Definition
 No standard definition but common meaning
 “Service integration and management lets an organisation
manage the service providers in a consistent and efficient way,
making sure that performance across a portfolio of multi-
sourced goods and services meets user needs.”
Source: GOV.UK
 “The multisourcing service integration (MSI) role is undertaken by
the client, or by a third party contracted by the client organization
with an individual contract to act as its agent in coordinating
and integrating service delivery, in an environment that uses
multiple internal and external service providers to deliver IT
and business process services. The term "SIAM" comes from U.K.
government usage and stands for service integration and
management. The terms "MSI" and "SIAM" may be used
interchangeably, as well as combined (MSI/SIAM).”

Is SIAM New?
 How many of you had to work in a multi-
supplier/vendor environment since you started
work?
 When did you start work?

What’s New with SIAM?
 Many organisations now outsource almost all their IT
 And are transitioning from single vendor outsourcing model
to multiple-vendors model (see next few slides)
 Total outsource to multi-vendors is complicated
 Arising from above
 Best practices specific to SIAM (and especially for total-
outsourced IT) are starting to be compiled
 Public
 Proprietary
 Service providers starting to offer SIAM function as a
dedicated service
 ITSM tools catering better to SIAM functionality

Why the Need for Better SIAM Now?
 Total outsourcing via multi-sourcing increasingly being
used
 more complicated to manage than single-sourcing
 IT Dept had lost multi-sourcing competencies from in-
house sections when originally switched to total single-
source outsourcing
 Growing diversity of possible services and service
providers
 Increasing complexity of services
 High dependence on IT for business functions
 Many businesses now operate 24x7
 Rising expectations of external and internal
customers/users

How to Introduce Such Agreements
 But we already have existing agreements in force with
existing vendors ...
 How then to replace with new type of agreement?
 Big bang enterprise wide
 By Division starting with Pilot
 By similar types of service e.g. infra / app
 Starting only from new contracts or contracts due for
renewal
 How much of a change to existing agreements
 Replace
 Retro-fit existing
 Change to supporting documents

Don’t Run Ops Based on Agreements
- Build Relationships Instead
2809/03/2015 10:32 am - itsmf 2015 - service integration.pptx
Throwing the “book” at (i.e. using
contract clauses to threaten)
providers is NOT the way to manage
them on a day-to-day basis.
Build “good personal working
relationships” with them instead.
“People make SIAM work”

Types of Relationships To Build
 With vendors’ service owners, managers and
practitioners
 Also include vendors’ process owners, managers
and practitioners
 Might also differentiate between type of vendors
 Customised Services & Integrated Services
 recommend Close Relationship
 Configurable Standard Services
 recommend Good Relationship
 Non-Configurable Commodity Services
 recommend Contractual Relationship
