The Challenges of implementing SIAM
• Lack of transparency – who is delivering what and how?
• Poor contract negotiation position due to lack of in-house knowledge
• Poor visibility into risk and dependencies (impact)
• Where do we want to go (Target state)?
• How do we get there?
• Difficult to ensure suppliers follow your service integration process
(Governance)
• Performance difficult to measure
• Complexity in collaboration across multiple SIs
